Timeline In Terror's Wake A look at the major developments following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
The station did not say how it obtained the video, which was produced by As-Sahab, al Qaeda's media branch.
The video included the last will and testaments of two of the hijackers, Wail al-Shehri and Hamza al-Ghamdi.
CBS News correspondent Jim Stewart reports that the CIA is examining this tape frame by frame, and agency officials aren't certain as of yet if any of it is new.
The footage was the fourth in a series of long videos that al Qaeda has put out to memorialize the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks against the Pentagon and World Trade Center, said Ben Venzke, head of IntelCenter, a private U.S. company that monitors militant message traffic and provides counterterrorism intelligence services for the American government.
The previous ones were issued in April and September 2002 and September 2003, each showing footage from the planning of the suicide hijackings and testimonies from some of the hijackers, Venzke told The Associated Press.
In the latest video, bin Laden is shown sitting outside in what appears to be a mountain camp with his former lieutenant Mohammed Atef and Ramzi Binalshibh, another suspected planner of the Sept. 11 attacks.
Atef, also known as Abu Hafs al-Masri, was killed by a U.S. air strike in Afghanistan in 2001. Binalshibh was captured four years ago in Pakistan and is currently in U.S. custody, and this week President George W. Bush announced plans to put him on military trial.
The U.S. government said Binalshibh intended to be one of the 9/11 hijackers, but failed to gain entry into the United States, reports CBS News correspondent Dan Raviv.
In the tape, Bin Laden, wearing a dark robe and white head gear, strolls through the camp, greeting dozens of followers, some masked, some barefaced, many carrying automatic weapons.
Al-Jazeera said that among those he greets in the footage are several of the 9-11 hijackers in the scene, but their faces were not clear and it was not immediately known which ones are shown.

See all 21 CommentsSo, in short we are supposed to believe that this bunch of some animal handlers were behind 9/11 attacks?? Please do not make me Laugh!!
___________
This is the mistake we common people often make. The answers is a big YES. In fact these animal handlers often include qualified people who are formally educated and doctors/engineers in their countries; its another thing that they hide and live like people who lived 1000 years back from now. Yet another problem is the concern that they easily brain wash educated people in our countries, you can see in every street talking in their favour! ..... unfortunately these animal handlers are a real problem and yes they carried out bombings. Further if we strictly talk about it from point of view of terrorism, for some one to become a terrorist he/she need not get formal education or live like a well mannered person in a civilised society or place. You will find evil almost any where; in any circumstances.
Please do not make me Laugh!!
This is about Bin Laden and terrorism, not a war campaign poster for world war II. Who cares about Palastine, I may not be the smartest person , but I haven't heard of an American dying for that cause in quit awhile. If your trying to make a corrolation me thinks your lost. I liked your defenition of a patriot, beyond that, God chosen, God neglected, European invaders, you sound as if your regurgitating something you have read because all you have done is repeat the same chant, WOW!!
WWII to occupy their land by force but the most dangerous enemies of US who dont believe in the constitution which separates church from state wants to support the existance of Israel on the cost of American money and American lives because Americans are GOD NEGLECTED and European invaders in Palestine are GOD CHOOSEN.That's why its the responsibility of GOD NEGLECTED Americans to pay tax and the right of GOD NEGLECTED EUROPEANS to snatch more then 3B$ for the killing of those people who give us oil.All this on the name of GOD whose existance is not proven by scientific evidence.
