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.
Which idiot Dem politician (I know that doesn't narrow it down much) was the one who said we should still be operating under a "presumption of innocence" for bin Laden?
Their capacity for rationalizing has no bounds. They've already said the original bin Laden tape discussing the unexpected success of 9/11 (remember he wasn't sure the buildings would actually come down)......was faked.
They will say the same about these. They are sick, sick people.
I have seen the video and Clintooon is in the background.
Hopefully there will be a roadside sign that reads "Baghdad 200 miles"
Did they send an advanced copy to Rush?
And all the other 9-11 denial kooks?
Flower arranging is an art, but the art is easy to master when you follow the simple techniques shown throughout Osama's new video. The new Osama video will teach you how to create a variety of elegant arrangements, how to select vases, and how to treat stems for the longest-lasting bouquets.
CAIRO, Egypt - Al-Jazeera on Thursday broadcast what it called a previously unshown video in which al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden is seen meeting with some of the Sept. 11 hijackers.
I thought Bush carried out 9-11 /sarc
Noory is so dismissive and sophomoric. Unless theres some commercial angle like a book he can hawk I doubt it will make any impression on him.
why are they (AL JAZEERA - aka friend to our enemies)showing this now? Gives me the heebee jeebees. Is this tape sending a message to terror cells?
I think my tin foil hat has cracked. I am off to buy new foil to make a new one!
I'd love it if they can "date" that tape and it's before Bush took office.
But, but, but, didn't 75 noted academia types state, just yesterday, that the U.S. orchestrated the 9-11 attacks?
Do we know what year this meeting took place?
During Clinton administration or Bush administration?
It can't be! I thought the lefties and the elites in education said that we planted explosives on all the floor of the towers and took them down as part of a vast conspiracy to go to war in Iraq?
They want us to fight them.
Sept. 7, 2006— A tape of Osama bin Laden and other al Qaeda members purportedly preparing for the Sept. 11 attacks aired on the Arab television station Al Jazeera today.
Al Jazeera said before airing the video that it is new and shows bin Laden personally and directly supervising the planning of the attacks.
The video shows bin Laden sitting in a mountainous area surrounded by other men, including Ramzi Bin al Shiba and Abu Hafs al Masri. Ramzi Bin al Shiba has never before been seen in a video with bin Laden.
Two men who have been identified as 9/11 hijackers, Wael al Shahri and Hamza al Ghamedi, are also shown on the video. They are shown videotaping their wills. Bin Laden is also seen hugging these men on the tape.
Al Qaeda training techniques are also showcased in the video, as men undergo physical training.
The tape is thought to have been released to coincide with fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
It will be said that this is proof why going after Saddam was a distraction for the real war.
