WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States will release segments of a new al Qaeda video found in Afghanistan, seeking information on five suspected members of the group believed to be at large, U.S. law enforcement sources said on Thursday.
The video will be released at a 2 p.m. EST news conference by U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft and FBI Director Robert Mueller. They also plan to release photographs of the five, the officials said.
``We hope someone will tell us where they are,'' one official said, adding that they discussed ``acts of terrorism.'' The official added that the five gave testimonials and said, ``They want to be martyrs.''
The videotape will be about 90 to 120 seconds, including excepts showing three of the five al Qaeda members.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Justice Department on Thursday planned to release photos and portions of a video of five suspected al-Qaida members in an effort to obtain the public's help in finding the fugitives.
The identities of at least three are known and their names will be released by Attorney General John Ashcroft, said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Ashcroft planned to show 30-second snippets of video depicting three of the five engaged in "al-Qaida activity," said the official. The snippets and photos will be made available to news media.
"We want to get these faces out there," said the official, who declined to say whether authorities believe the men are in the United States.
The al-Qaida video was found by U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan. The videos retrieved by U.S. special forces provide first-time images of a raft of suspected terrorists.
The video is among a mountain of items found in Afghanistan and elsewhere that U.S. investigators are combing through for clues about al-Qaida, Osama bin Laden and potential new terrorist attacks.
Documents and a videotape found in Afghanistan and passed to authorities in Singapore foiled a planned terrorist attack and resulted in the breakup of an al-Qaida cell there.
In Australia, a tape from Afghanistan showing al-Qaida militants practicing a mass assassination of world leaders at a golf tournament and plans for an attack on a motorcade in Washington was analyzed by U.S. defense officials.
Tape coming now.
