Less than two months before 9/11/01, the state-controlled Iraqi newspaper "Al-Nasiriya" carried a column headlined, "American, an Obsession called Osama Bin Ladin." (July 21, 2001) In the piece, Baath Party writer Naeem Abd Muhalhal predicted that bin Laden would attack the US "with the seriousness of the Bedouin of the desert about the way he will try to bomb the Pentagon after he destroys the White House." The same state-approved column also insisted that bin Laden "will strike America on the arm that is already hurting," and that the US "will curse the memory of Frank Sinatra every time he hears his songs" – an apparent reference to the Sinatra classic, "New York, New York".

Less than two months before 9/11/01, the state-controlled Iraqi newspaper "Al-Nasiriya" carried a column headlined, "American, an Obsession called Osama Bin Ladin." (July 21, 2001) In the piece, Baath Party writer Naeem Abd Muhalhal predicted that bin Laden would attack the US "with the seriousness of the Bedouin of the desert about the way he will try to bomb the Pentagon after he destroys the White House." The same state-approved column also insisted that bin Laden "will strike America on the arm that is already hurting," and that the US "will curse the memory of Frank Sinatra every time he hears his songs" – an apparent reference to the Sinatra classic, "New York, New York".
