Al-Jazeera broadcasts Al-Qaeda video preparing 9/11 attacks

The Arab television channel Al-Jazeera broadcast a video which it said showed Osama bin Laden and suicide candidates of Al-Qaeda preparing the September 11, 2001 attacks against the United States.
Al-Jazeera had said earlier it would broadcast "a video that included scenes showing for the first time Al-Qaeda leaders preparing the September 11 attacks and practicing for their execution."
The video showed Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and two of the 19 Islamist militants that took part in the attacks, Saudi nationals Hamza el-Ramdi and Wael el-Shemari.
They spoke of the situation faced by Muslims in Bosnia and Chechnya.
Fifteen of the 19 attackers on September 11 were Saudis, and Al-Jazeera said it had only aired a few minutes of a document which it said lasted about an hour and a half.
The footage also showed hand-to-hand combat practice between people who wore masks over their heads.
The television station also broadcast a recording attributed to the head of Al-Qaeda in Iraq, Abu Hamza al-Muhajer, in which he said he was sure of victory against US-led forces in the country.
The recording was posted on an Islamist Internet site as well, but its authenticity could not be immediately established.
In the Internet statement, Muhajer also urged Sunni Muslims to kill at least one US citizen within the next two weeks.
"Oh followers of (Taliban leader) Mullah Mohammed Omar, oh sons of (Al-Qaeda leader) Osama bin Laden, oh disciples of (slain Al-Qaeda in Iraq leader) Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi ... I urge each of you to kill at least one American within a period not exceeding 15 days," Muhajer said.
The two broadcasts came four days before the fifth anniversary of the September 11 attacks.
Muhajer added: "I do not doubt for an instant victory" against US-led forces in Iraq, calling President George W. Bush a "liar" and a "dog."
"Do not be proud of the number and the equipment" (of your army), Muhajer said.
"The was has just begun."
Muhajer had already issued a public statement in June, a few days after his predecessor Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi was killed in a US air strike in Iraq.
Fox is on it now.
Look for Karl Rove in the video.
I wonder how many joyous celebrations we will see on the Arab "street' next Monday commemorating this tragedy.
LOL
OK you're on the wrong blog. You're looking for "tinhatsrus.org" aka DU ;)
This is going to put a crimp on all of those "scientists" and "concerned citizens" that claim 9/11 was a government fabrication.
Clinton just called Al Jazeera demanding they pull the tape.
Is this for the 9/11/01 attacks or new "anniversary" attacks?

They keep finding tapes of Osama doing this or that. Can't wait to see him demonstrating cooking, cleaning and ironing in his cave. Next thing we'll have 8mm home movies of his first birthday.
They are. You have to understand, they think airing the videos of America's enemies screaming "death to America" makes them look good. Perverted, yes.
"They keep finding tapes of Osama doing this or that. Can't wait to see him demonstrating cooking, cleaning and ironing in his cave. "
Osama - Islam's answer to Martha Stewart?
Amen - what is George Noory and the idiots that go on his insipid Coast to Coast show going to say now?
I can't wait until this is reviewed bythe CIA, they see someone who is a known Iraqi operative, and the operational connection is finally made. Wouldn't that be a hoot and a half? You can hear the democrats screaming about it already....
