DUBAI, Sept 7: The Arab television channel Al Jazeera broadcast on Thursday a video which it said showed Osama bin Laden and suicide candidates of Al Qaeda preparing the Sept 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 Sept 11 attacks and practising for their execution’.

The video showed Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and two of the 19 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.

The footage also showed hand-to-hand combat practice between people who wore masks over their heads.—AFP
