In the case of Azzam the American, I smell a hoax. The OBL tape, though, is the real deal.
The original threats back in the summer and then again in late 2003 about a tape followed or preceeded by a UBL appearance were either prevented by authorities, postponed by al qaeda or the threats were all mere al qaeda psychops. (The latter is possible since it was last summer when messages about al qaeda's deliberate psychops began appearing. AND there were also posts about "hunters" infiltrating the Arabic forums; the jihadi types began to watch others watch them and they played to their audience.)
Turning back to the video/UBL tie-in, there were communications from the Jihad Falcon, daleel and another known jihad group in overseas newspapers and on yahoo and other forums about such a threat and a UBL appearance. Here is just one; I will look for more when I can.

THREAT & CLAIM MONITOR (TCM)
ID #2003-12-002
TCM Issue Date: 31 Dec. 2003
Group: al-Qaeda
Source: al-Majallah, Dubai, Mahmud Khalil, 28 Dec. 2003
On or before 26 Dec. 2003, al-Qaeda member Abu Mohammed al-Ablaj sent an email to al-Majallah saying "an emissary of bin Laden has informed me that the al-Qaeda chief's (next) appearance (on video cassette) will come after a deadly, far-reaching operation on American territory. In the video, bin Laden will evoke the success of his backers in once again striking the United States to the core and America's failure (in its anti-terrorist campaign) both outside and inside the country." Al-Ablaj also said, "I was talking with the brothers around the sheikh [Osama bin Ladin] and they asked me to confirm that the strike would be between the two Eids, that it would break the back, and would upset the balances. Let them prepare from now for more sorrows and let them prepare the coffins and the largest number of hospitals and graves. The coming days are full of surprises and major events that will make them an historic example. We will teach them the painful lessons that they will never forget." He also said, "Dear brother. The days are coming nearer day after day and what is coming is more drastic and more harmful. This is what I can say now and I will provide an opportunity for conducting an expanded and detailed dialogue with one of the operation's leaders after the implementation." According to al-Majallah, al-Ablaj hinted that the attack would consist of several qualitative and simultaneous strikes inside US territories and other countries he did not name. He said: "We will set them off soon."

Yep.
The grainy videos we have seen did not come from as Sahab Media Productions. All the as Sahab videos are much higer quality than the rest.
Be interesting to see'him dressed as a jihadi!

Whatever happened to your site showing the video or complete translation?
My heart and soul are on pins and needles about the election. Not the terror threat, mind you, but I just want GWB to be reelected as President ALREADY. I wish GWB was already reelected YESTERDAY. I want GWB to give his victory speech on 11/2 with no disputes and only a concession speech and a "thank you; it was a good race" from the other side.
In other words, I can barely endure the wait and anxiety...
I think its Adam.

Ha ha! Morgan is definitely white enough.
What also struck me about the azzam video was that the guy looks to me to have green or hazel or at least light colored eyes. Not the dead black eyes we usually see staring back at us from under those head covers.
As someone else pointed out on TM earlier. Both tapes originated from as Sahab. No one has really mentioned the fact that the new UBL tape also has the as Sahab logo on it. It is hard to see, but it is visible beneath the al Jazeera logos.
Ian, I know I have read articles and accounts tonight about the tapes and at least some mentioned that logo on both tapes.
" this just isn't UBL,
there's more to it"
Just ask Pelosi.
Thanks, Cindy, for keepng this thread up to date.
they are on these jerks tail & want to round them up right before it happens
I like this scenario
he is , I agree and we need to go through a list of dem actors! Alec Baldwin?
Sheesh. Could you believe that story?
I read here often, but hardly post, as I am waaaay lost when you all are discussing the terrorist websites, and the significance of the numbers and well, you know. I just saw this story out there, and wanted to share it with you all on TM.
I'm going to go make myself a salad, and then come back and pick up reading from my last post to catch up.
