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.
Pausable since it's the only place we have not looked.
You can count on it.
Perfect opportunity for a MOAB drop.
This can't be the real video, Rove and Bush arent anywhere to be seen!
This is not possible because the Muslims tell us the Jews did it, and the leftists tell us that Bush did it.
LOL. Now that's funny.
Look for Bert.
Wow. I didn't realize that Al-Qaeda was so nostalgic. I wonder if they will also release some kind of anthology about their golden era in the Clinton years when they came to power.
..yeah..."Al Quaeda is a dastardly plot orchestrated by Karl Rove..."...perhaps Chuck Schumer can get patrick Fitzgerald to investigate...
hehhehheh...

Orange, I agree. I think Iranians have him. He's too old and soft to be on the run from cave to cave for this long. The reward money is so big, if he were in Pak, someone would have talked by now. In Iran, you talk, you die.
Here's a link to the transcript of the OBL confession video which President Bush ordered released on Dec 13th 2001.
Hey, AJ, turn in your source. Oh. I'm sorry. Would you lose your biggest stock holder?
Yes Bin Laden is on the USAs payroll, this makes sense becausee we supported them in the 1980s in Afghanistan and since foriegn policy never changes it goes without saying we continue to fund his operations.
They're not. Releasing this tape is sticking a finger in President Bush's eye.
Yes, Bin Laden is still supported by Clinton holdovers in the CIA and the NY Times. They have been successful tipping off the phone tapping, Bank record investigations, and secret prisons.
So, yes, Bin Laden is supported by people in the US, we cant deny that. Im sure Hitler and Stalin had their US supporters back in WWII, but they probably whent to jail.
Rosengurgs were executed. Maybe we can live to see a clinton holdover go to jail for espionage?
I think we did get OBL within the past week or so. Too many
shoes have dropped recently. Lots of announcements, policy
shifts, wheeling and dealing. Now this historical tape gets
released.
Wouldn't it be something if Binladen appeared next to Mohammed Nutjob. I know they are both crazy enough to do it.
Since we have stomped their guts out, all they can do on the anniversary of 9-11 is release five-year-old video tapes. Screw with the USA and this is what you get.
