9/11 hijacker video released
Updated on 11 September 2007
The latest al-Qaida video shows the last will and testament of one of the 9/11 hijackers on the sixth anniversary of the attacks.
Nothing for more than a year then two messages in five days - the latest one timed to influence coverage of the sixth anniversary of the attacks of 11 September.
And it's worked - no video of the al-Qaida leader this time but billed as his voice - Osama Bin Laden praising the 9/11 hijackers and one in particular. In an introduction to what Bin Laden calls the "will of the martyr" - others term the suicide video of the 9/11 hijacker Waleed al-Shehri.
Only released by al-Qaida now - with English translation provided six years after al-Shehri and his fellow hijackers killed thousands of people at the World Trade Centre, it is a sign of al-Qaida's determination to set the agenda on the 9/11 anniversary - perhaps also a useful recruiting tool.
Waleed al-Shehri - helped Mohammed Atta fly American Airlines Flight 11 from Boston to Los Angeles into the World Trade Centre.
Born in Saudi, he studied to become a teacher before training in Afghanistan for Jihad. His brother Wail also a suspected 9/11 hijacker.
This as memorial services already begin for those who died. In Kabul, Afghanistan, American soldiers lowering the US and Afghan flags to half mast - yesterday on Washington's Capital Hill members of the House of Representatives held a candlelit ceremony
Later today there'll be a service at Ground Zero and a concert in London for the 67 British people who died in the terrorist attacks - the worst in British history.
