Video of last will of September 11 hijacker to be aired

THE media arm of al-Qaida said yesterday, on the eve of the sixth anniversary of the September 11 attacks, it will soon release a new video of Osama bin Laden giving the last testament of one of the hijackers.

As-Sahab made the announcement on a website used by Islamist militants, just days after it released the first video in nearly three years of the world’s most wanted man.

It did not say whether the release would be a video or audiotape, but showed images of bin Laden and hijacker Walid al-Shehri, suggesting it would be a video.
