Bin Laden 'to appear in new 9/11 video'

Al-Qaida's media operation today announced that it will release a new video of Osama bin Laden presenting the last testament of one of the September 11 suicide hijackers, marking the sixth anniversary of the attacks.

The announcement, revealed in Egypt, came only days after bin Laden appeared in his first video in three years, giving an address to the American people, lecturing them to abandon capitalism and democracy and convert to Islam.

The announcement came in a banner advertisement posted on an Islamic militant website where al-Qaida often releases messages and was signed by Al-Sahab, the media arm of bin Laden's al-Qaida terror network.

"Coming soon, God willing, the testament of the attacks on New York and Washington, Abu Musab Waleed al-Shehri, presented by Sheikh Osama bin Laden, God preserve him," the banner read.

It showed an image of bin Laden wearing the same black beard and clothes as in the most recent video.
