Bin Laden Surfaces
Reuters reports:DUBAI (Reuters) - Arab satellite television Al Jazeera said on Friday it would broadcast a video tape from al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden addressing the American people. It said the tape, to be aired at 4 p.m. EDT, would discuss the reasons behind the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States and their repercussions. It gave no further details. Fox News is reporting the CIA has verified that Bin Laden is on the tape, and that he refers to a recent event in Iraq. Comment: Until this tape surfaced, the evidence suggested that Bin Laden was dead. Unfortunately, that no longer appears to be the case. [Admin note: We'll update as soon as someone reports a translation of the video - so far Fox has only shown a still photo of Bin Laden. Al Jazeera only has a news flash up, no story yet] Posted by John Moore at October 29, 2004 03:43 PM | TrackBackComments
