British Prime Minister Tony Blair has claimed that he has evidence that the majority of the 19 hijackers who launched the attacks on the US in September "had links" to the al-Qaida network.

Mr Blair said new information links the majority of the hijackers to Osama bin Laden’s network, but he failed to say what that information was.

He also admitted that Britain does not have enough evidence against bin Laden to secure a conviction in court.
