Jazeera TV Says to Air Bin Laden Video Tape

2004-10-29

Oct 29, 3:09 PM (ET)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.

Maybe he's going to endorse Kerry?

#12 No . . . it shows that we know that when you shoot something living it goes 'splat', because it is all wet.

Bloody hell . . . there I go feeding the trolls . . .

#9 Mrs D .I fully concur. After Osama sending his little message we need to send ours to his proxies in Fallujah effective Sunday through Election Day so our counter attack defeating the enemy is the breaking news ...not the Osama's.

#5 By AlQ legend, and a point that many terrorism "experts" constantly make, the tape may be the wake-up call for "sleeper cells". They would say - am waiting to hear it from one of them on Fox - that this portends attacks.

I heard on Fox a little earlier that the masked ding-dong whose tape was the ABC scoop has been identified by someone who knows him as that SoCal twitter, Ghadan.

So maybe we will see something. Maybe it's only political poopery in an attempt to influence the elections. 96 hours to go.

#4 I wonder if this will be coupled with a Madrid style attack. Will that be the hook to get people to watch? Oh and bomb the ef out of al Jazeera. Let it be known that this is the fate of any who spread the AQ and other islamofascist propaganda.

#3 Maybe a power struggle within the bad guys camps? Z man claiming he is in charge, Egyptian Z man saying "oh no your not... Allah gave me that job"
Maybe yesterdays tape was not "approved by OBL" or at least his composting remains.

#2 More at Fox:

The Arab television station Al-Jazeera said it would broadcast a new tape from Al Qaeda leader Usama bin Laden on a Friday evening newscast. The tape is expected to be aired at 4 p.m. EDT.

Multiple sources told FOX News that the 18-minute videotape is authentic and said its release was timed to coincide with Tuesday's presidential elections. Bin Laden makes reference to recent conflicts in Iraq and addresses the American people directly, sources said.

U.S. officials said the tape appears to have been made recently. Bin Laden is speaking from a lectern and he talks about threats to the United States and he says that President Bush will not protect the American people. . . .

#1 Gee, a taped screed about 9/11? I'm convinced - that the schmuck is dead.
