"I can't tell you about when the material was made exactly, but it seems very recent," Hilal said, noting the narrator at one point refers to the March 27-28 Arab League summit as coming up shortly. Al-Jazeera, which has aired previous bin Laden statements, said it would broadcast the entire tape Thursday during a monthly documentary program.
On Monday, the station previewed several segments including one in which bin Laden and his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri, kneel side-by-side. Only al-Zawahri is shown speaking; he calls the terrorist attacks on America a "great victory."
It's an hour long tape, and we've only seen a few minutes.
