    Bin Laden to Release Special 9/11 Tape

    Bin Laden to release video by 9/11
    Al-Qaida leader to address U.S. for first time since October 2004, group says

    BREAKING NEWS

    The Associated Press
    Updated: 5:31 p.m. ET Sept 6, 2007

    CAIRO, Egypt - Terror mastermind Osama bin Laden plans a new video addressing the American people regarding the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, terror monitoring groups said Thursday.

    SITE Intelligence Group said an Internet announcement of the plan included a photo of the al-Qaida leader from the upcoming video — his beard, which in previous messages had been streaked with gray, was entirely dark.

    Intelcenter, which is based in Alexandria, Va., and also monitors Islamic Web sites, said the video was expected within the next 72 hours, or by Sunday. That would come before the sixth anniversary next Tuesday of the World Trade Center attack.

    The last bin Laden video was in October 2004, shortly before the U.S. presidential elections.

    Rita Katz, director of the Washington-based SITE Institute, said bin Laden's beard appeared to have been dyed, which she said is a popular practice in the Middle East.

    "I think it works for their benefit that he looks young, he looks healthy," Katz said of the new image.

    No Overt Threats Made in Bin Laden Video

    By LARA JAKES JORDAN – 1 hour ago

    WASHINGTON (AP) — A new video of Osama bin Laden makes no overt threats against the United States and appears to have been made as recently as this summer, a government official said Friday.

    The video includes references to current events in the war in Iraq, the official said. That would bolster the video's authenticity, which intelligence officials still are trying to confirm.

    The new video of al-Qaida leader bin Laden — his first in three years — runs nearly 30 minutes long, said the government official who has seen a transcript of its contents and spoke on condition of anonymity because it has not been made public.

    Bin Laden makes "no overt threat" in the video, the official said.

    But he mentions Sept. 11 several times and says that while the United States is the greatest economic and military power in the world, the nation is unjust, the official said.

    The video, which the U.S. government obtained only very recently, surfaced the week before the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Several intelligence agencies were analyzing the video Friday.

    The Homeland Security Department said Friday it had no credible information warning of an imminent threat to the United States, and analysts noted that al-Qaida tends to mark the Sept. 11 anniversary with a slew of messages.

    White House deputy press secretary Tony Fratto declined to comment on the video until it has been fully analyzed, except to say it was a reminder of the continuing terrorist threat.

    "This is why we need to be more vigilant and more persistent in our pursuit of terrorists," Fratto said. "We will continue to pursue them. And it reminds us that we need to be certain that our intelligence professionals have all the tools they need to continue to disrupt their activities."

    According to the transcript, a copy of which was obtained by ABC News, bin Laden says there are two ways to end the war.

    "The first is from our side, and it is to continue to escalate the killing and fighting against you," bin Laden says. The second is to eliminate the American democratic system of government.

    "It has now become clear to you and the entire world the impotence of the democratic system and how it plays with the interests of the peoples and their blood by sacrificing soldiers and populations to achieve the interests of the major corporations," he says.

    The transcript also mentions French President Nicolas Sarkozy, political activist and author Noam Chomsky, global warming, and refers to the Aug. 6 anniversary of the World War 2 bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

    Several intelligence and counterterror officials said there was still a question about whether the video was authentic — whether it is, in fact, Osama bin Laden on the tape. But one intelligence official said there has never been one of these tapes that has proven not to be authentic.

    The government also is looking at bin Laden's physical characteristics — in part, for clues about his health after unconfirmed rumors earlier this year that he had died of kidney disease.

    Soon after word emerged that the United States had the video, Islamic militant Web sites that usually carry statements from al-Qaida went down and were inaccessible. The reason for the shutdown was not immediately known.

    Evan H. Kohlmann, a terrorism expert at globalterroralert.com, said he suspected it was the work of al-Qaida itself, trying to find how the video leaked to U.S. officials.

    "For them this is totally disruptive that the U.S. government could have a copy before their targeted audience does," he said. "They could be concerned and trying to plug the leak quickly."

    The video ends bin Laden's longest period without a message. The al-Qaida leader has not appeared in new video footage since October 2004, and he has not put out a new audiotape in more than a year.

    Al-Qaida's media arm, Al-Sahab, announced bin Laden's new message Thursday in a banner advertisement on an Islamic militant Web site that included a photo of him.

    "Soon, God willing, a videotape from the lion sheik Osama bin Laden, God preserve him," the advertisement read, signed by Al-Sahab. Such announcements are usually put out one to three days before the video is posted on the Web.

    One difference in bin Laden's appearance was immediately obvious. The announcement had a still photo from the coming video, showing bin Laden addressing the camera, his beard fully black. In his past videos, bin Laden's beard was almost entirely gray with dark streaks.

    Bin Laden's beard appears to have been dyed, a popular practice among Arab leaders, said Rita Katz, director of the SITE Institute, a Washington-based group that monitors terror messages.

    Katz said al-Qaida has consistently marked the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks as one of its biggest successes. In 2003, a videotape of bin Laden was released the day before the anniversary and last year al-Qaida released a documentary describing the planning of the attacks.

    Videotapes of bin Laden are the group's most powerful propaganda tools, and they use them sparingly, Katz said, primarily because security concerns make access to the leader difficult. But also, she added, because al-Sahab wants to ensure that a new tape gets maximum play in the media.

    Over the last few years, al-Qaida leaders appear to have gotten better at distributing their missives, one intelligence official said. They are using subtitles and different languages and using the Internet to distribute them, rather than depending on a particular television station or network.

    Associated Press writers Pamela Hess and Matthew Lee in Washington and Lee Keath in Cairo contributed to this report.

    You're both forgetting we will be at War with Iran and Syria in November of 2008.

    Bin Whatshisname will be a footnote by then.....



    Someone refresh my memory, don't Russia and Iraq have mutual-defense agreements with Iran?

    Doh.

    Now that I've seen bits and pieces of the new Osama hit single, it looks like they took the animatronic Osamabot from the 2004 video and gave it a new beard, and this time they only showed "him" from the chest up, so you couldn't tell that Osamabot is nowhere near as tall as the real Bin Laden (as was obvious in the 2004 tape)

    Here's a couple of painfully obvious questions though.....

    1) Since when is this "the first video since 2004"?? Wasn't there a big hype about a video about 3 months ago?

    2) Does anybody believe that you can buy "Just For Men" off the shelves of a 7-11 in the rural mountains of Pakistan? If shaving your beard is prohibited in the Islamic faith, one would also assume that coloring it would also be.

    Maybe the beard is fake (and as well it's been said that most Arab leaders dye their beards to look vigorous). And he's hiding in an urban area amongst a sympathetic population with assistance of factions of the ISI (Paki intell)?
