Al Qaeda Releases Video of Preparation of 9/11

Posted on September 7, 2006

Hat tip: Right on the Right who informes us:

The United States Intelligence Services are now analyzing a newly surfaced tape, which purportedly shows Bin Laden meeting with 9/11 planners. FOX News is running this story, and I’m waiting for more information. Obviously, the timing of this is intended to coincide with Monday’s 5-year anniversary of 9/11.

And guess who is airing the video? If you guessed Al -Jazeera, you are right!

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.

I’m sure it is no coincidence in the timing of the release. I’m not the only one of course. I wonder how the conspiracy theory freaks will explain that this was an inside job? I’m sure they will figure out some way. It won’t take them long to point out how it just so happened to be released right before an election.

Hot Air has the video. and another one showing Bin Laden meeting the 9/11 hijackers.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiller:

The people in the video are all CIA and Mossad operatives cleverly disguised as terrorists and, if you look very closely, you can briefly see the shadow of Karl Rove high-fiving Dick Cheney.

When Al Qaeda does things like this I get the impression they favor the Republican party. It gives them attention and controversy which probably ups the recruitment numbers.

I am wondering what the conspiracy folks will say to explain the contradiction between their theory and Al Qaeda both confessing and presenting proof that they and not Bush were responsible for 9/11.
