Al-Jazeera admits Bin Laden video was a rerun
A videotape claiming Osama Bin Laden is still "alive and fighting" dates back to September, Arab television channel al-Jazeera has admitted. Al-Jazeera's editor-in-chief, Ahmed Sheikh, said his channel had broadcast the footage by mistake. Mr Sheikh said it had received the video in September and aired "the important parts" at the time.

In the video, Bin Laden's deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, also claimed al-Qaeda was behind the London bombings on 7 July. "We got the videotape in September, and back then we aired what we thought were the important parts," Mr Sheikh told the AFP news agency. "There was a misunderstanding today, and we aired these extracts today by mistake."
I hate it when I sit down to watch my favorite show and it turns out to be a old episode, don't you?
Zawahiri claimed in September that al-Qaeda's leader was still alive and leading a "holy war" against the West. He called for attacks on oil targets and said al-Qaeda was "spreading and expanding and strengthening".
So still no word from Zawahiri or Binny since the earthquake hit.
