Smiling 9/11 Hijackers Appear In Video

London Paper Obtains 2000 Tape Of Mohamed Atta And Ziad Jarrah In Afghanistan

(CBS/AP)  Mohamed Atta, the ringleader of the Sept. 11 terror attacks, smiles and jokes with another hijacker before the two turn serious and speak intently to a camera in a new video obtained by the British newspaper the Sunday Times.

For more than 30 minutes, the video shows Atta, who flew one of the planes that brought down New York's World Trade Center, and Ziad Jarrah, who piloted United Airlines flight 93, which crashed into a Pennsylvania field, sitting in front of a bare white wall, alternately alone and together.

The tape, according to the Sunday Times, is the only video that shows the two men together, reports CBS News foreign correspondent Richard Roth.

The British newspaper says the video was made on January 18, 2000, at an al Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan. A few days earlier, Osama Bin Laden had been addressing a group of his followers at the same training ground, reports Roth, including Ramzi Bin-Alshibh, the so-called coordinator of 9/11. Captured in 2002, Bin-Alshibh is now a prisoner a Guantanamo Bay.

The Sunday Times said it had obtained the video "through a previously tested channel" but gave no further details. It said sources from al-Qaeda and the United States had confirmed the video's authenticity on condition of anonymity.

It shows Atta and Jarrah sitting on the floor, and alternates between tight shots including only their faces and wider images which show what appears to be a gun propped up on the wall next to them. Both men have full, dark beards.

Atta wears a dark sweater or sweat shirt with a zipped-up collar and light-colored stripe pattern on the arms. He tries on a traditional Afghan cap at one point, then tosses it aside.

Jarrah is in a long white robe and wire-frame glasses, which he later removes.

"It just perhaps gives a slightly more human face to these individuals and shows how the threat is very much amongst us," Will Geddes, of the International Corporate Protection Group Ltd., told CBS's Roth.

Appearing on a number of Washington news shows Sunday, White House Counsellor Dan Bartlett reacted to a new Al Qaida video, saying it was "a chilling reminder of the type of brutal killers we are up against in this war."

From the comment made on 1/10/06 by patriotic9 at 7:33 PM. May I say that yes, biblically speaking Israel is in fact God's chosen people. However, this does not exclude everyone else from His love and grace. God is open to everyone and that's why he sent His son Jesus to take away all our troubles, if only we accept Him as our saviour. I'd just like to clarify that Muslims are separate to this. You have to realise that their bible is very much different to a Christian bible excluding some of the earlier chapters which involve similiar characters and stories. The part where they branch off occurs when Ishmael is born from Hagar after Abraham's wife Sarah could not wait for her child. This Ishmael and Hagar were then sent away which gave birth to the Muslim nation. Having said this God still loves everyone and is ready to accept anyone into His arms, Muslim or non-Muslim, Israeli or non-Israeli; it doesnt matter. =]

Nobody has come up with a single reason that why I am wrong if I am wrong.Which again is the very CLEAR EVIDENT PROOF that the mother of all the evils is the BACKWARD,NONSENSE,RADICAL,RACIST and UNJUST ideology according to which we Americans are GOD NEGLECTED and the NON-AMERICAN EUROPEAN INVADERS IN PALESTINE are GOD CHOSEN.The purpose of our lives is to be the slaves of those GOD CHOSEN people.We have to work day and night to pay tax to our govt and the EUROPEAN INVADERS IN PALESTINE who don't live in USA,don't pay tax to our govt,cause HATRED,TERRORISM and 9/11 against our nation have the right to snatch more then 3B$ a year from our tax payed money for the killing of those people who give us Oil in cheaper prices.This is the problem with the RADICAL RELIGIOUS EXTREMISM.The religious extremist won't ever use their brain and will keep on making the forieng and internal policies of our country on the thousands of years old bible which has so many versions and we dont even know which one is the correct one.As long as they impose Bible on themselves I don't have any problem,but denying our constitution is again the mother of all the EVILS.

[patriotic9]

I don't really care whether they got 6 virgins or not.The only thing I care is that 3 thousands of our people were killed.Our people were killed because of those enemies of United States who don't care about our lives and our money when it come to supporting European Invaders in Palestine.When the European Invaders in Palestine attacked Lebanon,almost all of our Congressmen and senator,irrespective of whether they were Republican Or democrats supported the actions of the European Invaders in Palestine.When those Congressmen and senators have been elected by our votes,how come we are not responsible for this RACISM and INJUSTICE which has snatch the peace of the whole world.It is the responsibilty of all of us being Americans to raise our voices against this INJUSTICE and RACISM according to which the entire humanity is GOD NEGLECTED and has not been promised a single penny from GOD,whereas EUROPEAN INVADERS IN PALESTINE are GOD CHOSEN because of being born in a race chosen by GOD.We can impose this NON-SENSE ,BACKWARD,RACIST and UNJUST ideology on ignorant people from our country but can't do that on the whole world.If anybody thinks that I said something wrong please give me the reason for that so that I correct myself and change my point of view.

Do you truly believe that each got 6 virgins when they died and met Allah / Mohamet or who ever? Nope, they're just dead. This will be an ugly battle to beat these zealots.

[patriotic9]

The enemies of USA who want to support the ILLEGITIMATE and UNJUSTIFIED existance of Israel on the world map on the cost of American money and American lives because Americans are GOD NEGLECTED and the EUROPEAN INVADERS IN PALESTINE are GOD CHOSEN,are responsible for 9/11 and the deaths and injuries of Americans in war since then.But the enemies of USA don't care.They gonna keep on protecting Israel on the cost of existance of USA because Israel is a HOLY LAND whereas America is not.The going to keep on supporting the European invaders in Palestine in killing of those Arabs who give us oil in cheaper prices on the cost of our money and our lives,again because the GOD NEGLECTED American money and GOD NEGLECTED American lives is not as valueable as GOD CHOSEN EUROPEAN INVADERS IN PALESTINE.They going to keep on denying our UNHOLY constitution which separates church from state because it's not that HOLY BIBLE which has racially discriminated Americans by not chosing them BECAUSE OF THE RACE THE ARE BORN IN.

Our ancestors were smart who wrote the constitution which forbids the involvement of religion into politics by separating church from state.Religion should be a personal,private matter even according to Pres Bush.Nothing has hurt USA more then the RADICAL,RACIST,UNJUST,BACKWARD and SENSELESS ideology according to which human beings have not been created equal.All the human beings living in this world are GOD NEGLECTED people because of not being born in a race chosen by GOD so they have not been promised a single penny from God.Whereas those Europeans brought into Palestine are GOD CHOSEN people because of being born in a race chosen by God so have been promised a land in the Middle East.Human beings shouldn't be treated on the basis of their actions but should be treated as GOD CHOSEN or GOD NEGLECTED on the basis of the race they are born in.This ideology is called RACISM and INJUSTICE.

God does bless those who bless the jews.On this day we have to ask ourself What has America been doing thinking they can give God a "Momement Of Silence" What happened on 9/11 was America getting a moment Of Silence from God. Wake up people!Open your eyes If no one tells muslims about the plan of salvation there eternal end is a lake of fire with the DEVIL for eternity.The towers were built on nothing but PRIDE and PRIDE COMETH BEFORE DESTRUCTIONS if we as Christians are not willing to lose the pride, share the word of God then what more are we going to have to witness? How many more 9/11's are we willing to go thru. Who are we to judge any of these muslims we are to LOVE OUR NEIGHBORS if only to share the plan of salvation with them.We must never forget the people who have lost there lives in those towers but they are in Eternity already. If we want to change the world first we must change our hearts and learn to SHARE Christianity and plant the seed that's not asking alot . This really has nothing to do with the jews this has everything to do with the way muslims have been lied to for many many years. I love you Israel .. shalom.

On 9/11 I lost 343 brothers and sisters as well as the world lost thousands of mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, family members and loved ones because we are FREE AMERICANS. I feel our administration FAILED to protect and serve US, the public. We relied on them to do their job and protect us. I believe this administration went into office with a private agenda. To avenge the contract that was put on his fathers head. BUSH had one of our GREAT GENERALS, Colon Powell go to the United Nations, were he was highly respected, and lie to them about WMD. Bush lied to us about WMD to get public support for his war with Iraq. We have not only lost thousands of lives to terrorists in AMERICA but we also have lost thousands more of our GREAT MILITARY and innocint civilians in Iraq. When will it stop?? It has been reported that over 60% of Iraq citizens want us out of there. At least that percentage of AMERICANS want our TROOPS BACK HOME and out of harms way. Bush started something we CAN'T WIN without the support of the people we are trying to free and protect in Iraq. Saddam should have never crawed out of his hole alive. His end should have been like his son's. I SUPPORT OUR TROOPS 100% but NOT THE BUSH ADMINSTRATION. NO Iam not a Democrat or Republican. I vote for the person not the party and all the special interest groups they represent. GOD BLESS AMERICA and KEEP US ALL SAFE.

ralphj53, you are right. Their destination was hell and I believe they are still burning in hell. No religion allows you to do they did. In fact such are the people resposible for hatred, violence and misunderstandings. They do this for thier political gains.

[tomflint69]

For how long Mr. Bush will remain our president and for how long he will control everything? the new administration may prove to be weaker as compared to Bush administration in handling terrorism. People will say they were put into this mess by an ex-US president 20 years ago!

[patriotic9]

If God says in Bible "GOD BLESS THOSE WHO BELSS ISRAELIS",what was God doing that day when thousands of Americans were dying in World Trade Center because of their tax money goin to bless those so called Israelis.Should we make our policies based on the intrest of American people or the RADICAL,RACIST and UNJUST JUDEO-CHRISTIAN IDEOLOGY which asks the GOD NEGLECTED Americans to pay the price for the GOD CHOSEN ISRAELIS.We have to ask ourselves,Are we really capable of fighting these Radical muslim terrorist who killed us in thousands on 9/11 and may kill us in hundreds of thousands in possible future attacks.We cannot make ourselves safe unless we become loyal to USA,its people and it's constitution which separates church from state.There is no use of giving our lives for pleasing a RACIST GOD who has not chosen us because of the RACE we are born in and also whose existance is not proven by any scientific evidence.

Hello;

Those two terrorists might be smiling in that photo, but you know what?

They're going straight to HELL, whereever they are now. If they DON'T go to HELL, then I'm safe from my womanizing ways, and I don't have to worry.

The devil has a way to convince us that it's all right to VIOLATE GOD'S laws. Nothing's going to happen to us.

But after death, there is no turning back to tell GOD that all of a sudden, we made a grievous mistake, and ask HIM to take us back to earth... so we can "do better next time."

The END is the end of all ends and nothing we can wish can make us "do it right... next time."

Don't EVEN think that we can be born again to another mother and live our lives ALL over again.

No way Jose... I personally guarantee you.

Take my word for it. It's true.

Ralphj53

[tiger_fairy9]

Whoa!! You'd think we'd have found this earlier, but everything comes later, if not sooner.

It's wierd, but seeing the faces of the attackers acutally makes one feel a little more pity for them: They acutally did something that they thought was right; when they could have been raising families, making themselves into something instead of causing homicide and suicide by crashing into bluildings...

It's just too bad...

[tomflint69]

media is altogether telling false news that the video tape was without any voice. I believe thy dont wana tell us what those smiling Hollywood stars said!

[alphaa10-2009]

White House Counsellor Dan Bartlett said the video was "a chilling reminder of the type of brutal killers we are up against in this war."

Even more chilling, however-- to those who want desperately to believe Bush can be trusted-- the video is yet another reminder 911 had nothing to do with Iraq.

And now that Bush admits there is no connection between the invasion of Iraq and 911, he is rapidly running out of plausible denials for the fact he broke his oath of office to the people of the United States.

Not only was pre-invasion intelligence "cooked" to seem to support Bush lies about Iraq, but most glaring of all, no persuasive evidence of any kind for WMDs was found by any Bush WMD inspector.

In this and a multitude of other respects, Bush has played fast and loose with the facts, and tried to keep the American people in the dark about his ambitions. How appropos this wannabe president rules instead over the one of the darkest chapters in American history-- fully equal to the Nixon years of deceit and dishonor.

Book recommendation-- Frank Rich, The Greatest Story Ever Sold. This latest investigation of Bush lies documents the full dimension of the Bush scam on Iraq.
