Jazeera Airs Tape Said to Be of Sept 11 Hijacker
Fri September 12, 2003 02:12 PM ET

DUBAI (Reuters) - Arab television channel Al Jazeera on Friday aired a new videotape of a man it said was one of the September 11 hijackers, reading his will and saying it was a Muslim duty to fight the "American enemy."
"America is the enemy that every Muslim should fight. There is no way the Arab nation can be saved except through jihad (holy war)," said the speaker, identified as Saeed Alghamdi, wearing military fatigues and an Arab headscarf.

The tape also showed Alghamdi during military exercises in a remote area which Al Jazeera said was in Afghanistan.

He was shown jumping out of a truck and opening fire with an automatic rifle.

Alghamdi was among those who seized control of United Airlines flight 93, which crashed in a field in Pennsylvania after an apparent struggle on board. He had several aliases and may have been Saudi Arabian, but his exact background remains unclear.

1. What, is Jazeera having an f'in 9/11 ratings sweep this week

or what?

2. Them 'Qaeda boys just want to keep reminding us...

of what a good wartime pResident we have.... Lest we 'Muricans forget we are actually at war and start thinking about stuff like jobs (or lack thereof) and education and health care (or a lack thereof).

Funny how Al Qaeda pops up just when Bush & Cos. ratings dip

3. I think Arab TV is mocking the US military

Regardless of whether or not Bush's military is taking as active a role as they say they are in finding bin Laden, I suppose it's a barrel of laughs to al Jazerah that they can't find bin Laden after 2 years, and he appears to be safe enough to wander around the mountains....

Not that I necisarily believe that the new tape is or is not bin Laden...
