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.

Could be.... remember that Zarqawi had a direct pipe line to bin laden, and we got him with lots of info on his flash drive. Wouldn't be surprising.

What a November it would be if Bin Laden was in a cage!

Cavuto just asked a high ranking general, while discussing the tape, if we possibly had killed Bin Laden.

His reply "Time will tell!"

Could it be their waiting for the dna tests to come back....?

Talk about annihilating the DNC talking points.

This is the best they have? An old video of four dead guys and a cave-dwelling fugitive?

Imagine if they were kicking our butts (instead of the other way around) and we released an old video of George Bush (who was now governing from an underground bunker in an undiclosed location) talking with Dick Cheney (who was now being held prisoner by Al Qaeda), Tommy Franks, Don Rumsfeld and Condi Rice (who were all now dead of war wounds). How lame would that be?

This shows how much trouble AQ is in.

Wouldn't it be something if the President announced his capture on 9-11. The liberals' blood would literally boil.

Praying for just that!

IMO opinion Cavuto had a bit of a "smirk". But the important thing to me was he didn't deny it. It would have been easy to say something to indicate we knew he was still alive, but instead he didn't lie......

Yes, maybe so. Maybe this tape was found on his pesonal PC in his cave. He probably loved to watch it to remind himself about the good old days.

That would be perfect, on 9-11 five year anniversary.

"Eat it, moonbats!"

Exactly.

I think of all the Donkey mandarin moonbats waiting tables for the last 10 years at Applebee's in Alexandria waiting for ... the moment this November ... when the Democrats take back the House ... finally ... and ... the phone never rings!

Donkey suckahs! ESAD! Your 40 Years In The Wilderness is Just Beginning!

If he had died of "poor health", (he's had issues for years), WE may not have killed him. Cavuto asked specifically if WE had done the job.

They may have had to pay the warlords a bit of the reward money, just to help confirm his death. Could still be waiting on testing, not wanting to release information and then have everyone yell "Bush lied"......

Maybe THE tape was confiscated at the time the sample was taken?

Is it too much to ask for?

This would be the perfect compliment to the Clinton 9-11 docu-drama.

Clinton nailing Monica, and Bush nailing Osama!

Get the champaign ready and keep fingers crossed!

are you kidding.

right now, the NY state police cannot find an escaped fugitive in western NY State. do you realize how hard it is to find one guy living in some remote mountain village in the tribal region of Pakistan?

Someone photoshopped this:

These people seem to be idiots.

So now it's even in Wikipedia
