Two major Al Queda leaders gave their story on 9/11 on Al Jazeera. Cairo, Egypt (AP) - The Arab satellite station Al-Jazeera broadcast more excerpts of a videotape on Tuesday in which a male voice attributed to Osama bin Laden can be heard naming all 19 Sept. 11 hijackers. On Monday, the station broadcast a portion of the tape in which the same voice, speaking in Arabic, named the four leaders of the Sept. 11 attacks - Mohamed Atta, Marwan Al-Shehhi, Ziad Jarrah and Hani Hanjour. In Tuesday's broadcast, the voice named all 19 of the hijackers and their places of birth were cited. The men were lavishly praised for their piety. "Those men (the hijackers) have realized that the only course to achieve justice and defeat injustice is through jihad (Muslim holy struggle) for the cause of God," the voice on the tape said in Tuesday's clip. There was no way to verify whether the person speaking on the tape was bin Laden, or when the recording was made. Abdel-Bari Atwan, editor of the London-based daily Al-Quds Al-Arabi who has interviewed bin Laden in the past, said on Al-Jazeera that the voice sounded like bin Laden's. A different man speaking on Tuesday's excerpt said of the hijackers: "They provided the greatest lessons and expertise to all young people to give up fun and play to stand up and destroy the remnants of pagan America." Tuesday's clips were longer than those shown Monday and included old footage of bin Laden and his top lieutenants squatting silently on the floor. Bin Laden has not been heard from since shortly after the U.S.-led bombing campaign began in Afghanistan last October. The latest tape also included old footage from Afghanistan of several young men identified as being among the hijackers. They appeared to be looking at maps, including one of the Washington D.C. area, and manuals of cockpit gadgetry. At least one computer and several books in English could be seen sitting on desks and a hand was shown pointing at the site of the Pentagon on one map. Another excerpt showed a man identified as hijacker Abdulaziz Alomari leaving what appeared to be a farewell message. "God may reward all those who trained me on this path and who were behind this noble act and a special mention should be made of ... Sheik Osama bin Laden, may God protect him." Alomari and Atta were aboard American Airlines Flight 11, which crashed into the World Trade Center. Al-Jazeera said over the weekend that one of its correspondents had interviewed two top al-Qaida fugitives wanted in the terrorist attack. According to the interview, reportedly conducted in June with Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and Ramzi Binalshibh, the U.S. Congress was the fourth American landmark on al-Qaida's Sept. 11 hit list and the terror group also considered striking U.S. nuclear facilities.

Thanks for all your posts. We spent the day glued to the telly. The California contingent of the family stayed home as did the Louisville contingent. I was happy to arrive intact at my destination a few days later. The security was VERY tight and I was examined by hand on my body to see if I had anything hidden on me. This is not comforting. I will not fly again if I can help it! Thanks, George, for the Unicef ad. You're right!
