Web Site Posts Full Pre-Sept. 11 Al Qaeda Video
Fox News ^ | Sept. 10, 2006 | AP

Posted on 09/10/2006 2:56:06 PM PDT by FairOpinion

A purported Al Qaeda video posted on the Internet late Sunday showed footage of a smiling Usama bin Laden meeting with top planners of the Sept. 11 attacks in a mountain camp believed to be in Afghanistan.

The 55-minute tape — with English subtitles — surfaced late Sunday on the eve of the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, on a Web site that frequently airs tapes and messages from bin Laden's terror network.

The bin Laden video was stamped with the emblem of As-Sahab, Al Qaeda's media branch. It showed the Al Qaeda leader meeting other commanders in a mountain camp, apparently planning the attacks on New York and Washington.

Bin Laden was shown expressing his appreciation for the Taliban, the Islamic regime that ran Afghanistan and gave refuge to Al Qaeda until the U.S.-led invasion that toppled the government in late 2001.

"They allowed us to prepare and train, despite international pressure, and knowing that we were getting ready to strike the idols of this age — the American forces and the NATO pact," the Al Qaeda leader said.

On the same Fox site, there is an article about an Arab regime, possibly Iraq, that supplied manuals to the fighters in Afganistan pre-9-11! The article says this could bolster the claim that Saddam was involved in aiding Al Qaeda!

Check out post 3 at the following thread:


Cheney reasserts Iraq/al-Qaeda links

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1698996/posts

Peach assembled a large number of articles, presented chronologicaly about all the evidence of links between Saddam and the terrorists. And this, just from open source articles.

Hi, rightazrain. Could you tell me exactly where that is on the FNC site or post a link to the article; I don't see it. Dang it. I REALLY want to read that.
