Video tape shows Laden meeting Sept 11 attackers
Dubai, Sept 8: Al Jazeera aired a video tape that showed al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden meeting what it said were perpetrators of the September 11 attacks on US cities, days ahead of the fifth anniversary of the strikes.
The television said yesterday the tape documented the ''daily life'' of al Qaeda operatives as they trained and prepared for the attacks in the mountains of Afghanistan.
The video, which shows Bin Laden in one scene greeting a fighter against the backdrop of a mountain, also contained parts of taped ''wills'' of two of the September 11 attackers, Wael al-Shihri and Hamza al-Ghamdi.
''If we accept our humiliation ... the footsteps of the enemy will stretch from Jerusalem to Mecca,'' a man identified as Hamza al-Ghamdi was shown as saying.
In one scene a man chops wood. Another scene shows a man preparing a meal.
