***UPDATE - ALLAH HAS VIDEO***

***SCROLL FOR UPDATES***

This is big, if it is true. Prepare for "Truthers" to add a new twist to their fairytale. Bush/Rove Productions somehow had to stage this event, and make these "fake" suicide videos by the hijackers...

Arabic TV channel Al-Jazeera has broadcast what it says is unseen footage of Osama Bin Laden meeting some of the 9/11 hijackers.

The channel said it showed al-Qaeda leaders "preparing for the attacks and practising their execution".

The footage also shows the al-Qaeda leader meeting senior figures Ramzi Binalshibh and Mohammed Atef.

Binalshibh was captured in 2002 and Atef was killed by a US air strike in Afghanistan in 2001.

Al-Jazeera also showed "suicide" videos by two of the hijackers who crashed planes into the World Trade Center.

***UPDATE***
Michelle Malkin links to Allah's "mega-post".. I'm on my way to dig around...

*UPDATE*
Rusty notices a 9/11 ringleader missing from the video:

Dick Cheney does not appear on the video. No comment from Democratic nominee for Congress Bob Bowman.

Come on Rusty, that's him in the Bin Laden mask!

I'm actually on the edge of my seat here, waiting to see how the "truthers" will spin this. Will it be that this tape was just made recently, because there were no hijackers because we know Bush Co. was behind 9/11? Will it be that Bush/Rove "put them up to it", like they do for every UBL tape when Dubya's polls sink? I really can't wait to see what they say.

***UPDATE***
Check out this screen shot from the New York 9/11 Truth group page:

As you can see from this search, the conspiracy theorists have run wild with this one. First of all, we have to assume that the quote is real, but even if it is, it didn't mean much. It was supposedly in response to someone inquiring as to why 9/11 isn't mentioned on Bin Laden's FBI's Most Wanted page. It makes sense, because there wasn't evidence (to my knowledge) of his "direct" involvement. It was just that the 9/11 terrorists were followers of his. This new video seems to reveal his direct contact and training of them.

This WAPO piece clears up the omission of 9/11 from the FBI's Most Wanted Bin Laden page:

The curious omission underscores the Justice Department's decision, so far, to not seek formal criminal charges against bin Laden for approving al-Qaeda's most notorious and successful terrorist attack. The notice says bin Laden is "a suspect in other terrorist attacks throughout the world" but does not provide details.

The absence has also provided fodder for conspiracy theorists who think the U.S. government or another power was behind the Sept. 11 hijackings. From this point of view, the lack of a Sept. 11 reference suggests that the connection to al-Qaeda is uncertain.

Exhaustive government and independent investigations have concluded otherwise, of course, and bin Laden and other al-Qaeda leaders have proudly taken responsibility for the hijackings. FBI officials say the wanted poster merely reflects the government's long-standing practice of relying on actual criminal charges in the notices.

"There's no mystery here," said FBI spokesman Rex Tomb. "They could add 9/11 on there, but they have not because they don't need to at this point. . . . There is a logic to it."

David N. Kelley, the former U.S. attorney in New York who oversaw terrorism cases when bin Laden was indicted for the embassy bombings there in 1998, said he is not at all surprised by the lack of a reference to Sept. 11 on the official wanted poster. Kelley said the issue is a matter of legal restrictions and the need to be fair to any defendant.

"It might seem a little strange from the outside, but it makes sense from a legal point of view," said Kelley, now in private practice. "If I were in government, I'd be troubled if I were asked to put up a wanted picture where no formal charges had been filed, no matter who it was."

The VT Truther group latches on to the quote as well. It appears they are having some sort of gathering Saturday. If I find the time, I may drop by to snap a few photos of moonbattery in action.

***UPDATE***
Earlier I posted the reaction I predict we'll see from the Truthers at HotAir:

Damn you stupid non-Truthers! Don’t you know that sense it was Bush/Rove/Cheney/Rumsfeld and the rest of the illuminati skull and bones free mason gang who attacked us on 9/11, that this tape could have been made any time? The guys who are blamed for the attack in the official version are alive and well and this tape was probably made yesterday.

***UPDATE***
Video as it appeared on Al Jazeera at CBS, in right sidebar. (h/t Allah)

***UPDATE***
In the event that CBS removes the video, or there are any issues with that link in the future, Ian has posted the video at HotAir.
