TV channel airs new bin Laden video
Al-Jazeera satellite TV channel has aired a new videotape showing Osama bin Laden.
Osama bin Laden's top deputy is shown claiming the September 11 attacks as a "great victory".
Al-Jazeera has shown a series of clips from what appears to be new videotapes from the al-Qaida network. In one, bin Laden and his top deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri, kneel side-by-side.
Only al-Zawahri is shown speaking.
Al-Jazeera says it will air the complete tapes on Thursday.
An Al-Jazeera official says the tape was received a few days ago at its headquarters in Doha, Qatar. It is not clear when the tapes were made or how the station, known for airing bin Laden statements, received it.
Al-Jazeera also show a man identified as one of the September 11 hijackers speaking to the camera in a style similar to the video-tapes in which Palestinian suicide bombers deliver last testaments.
An Al-Jazeera subtitle identified the man only as Alghamdi. The FBI has said both a Hamza Alghamdi and a Ahmed Alghamdi were among the 19 hijackers.
"Those 19 brothers who went out and worked and sacrificed their lives for God, God granted this victory that we enjoy today," Zawahri said in the other tape.
"The great victory that was achieved was because of God's help and not because of our efficiency or cunning," Zawahri said.
