Al-Jazeera plays footage of 9/11 bombers meeting bin Laden
An Arab television station has broadcast previously unseen footage of a smiling Osama bin Laden meeting the top planners of the September 11 attacks in an Afghan mountain camp and calling on followers to pray for the hijackers as they carried out the suicide mission.
The sections shown on Al-Jazeera TV yesterday were part of a video that al-Qaida announced it would release later on the internet to mark the fifth anniversary of the airborne attacks on the US.
