As-Sahab, Al-Qaeda’s “media wing”, has released a new video few minutes ago on Al-Jazeera, that includes scenes broadcasted for the first time, showing Sheikh Osama bin Laden, and Abu Hafs el-Masri, Ramzi Binalshibah and at least two of the 9/11 hijackers prior to the operation. I still haven’t seen the whole video yet, but from what I understand it’s an hour and half long, with English subtitles. The video also features Azzam al-Amreeki (Azzam the American), who introduced himself as a US citizen and a member of Al-Qaeda.

The clips I saw also included someone named Abu Torab al-Ordoni (Abu Torab the Jordanian), who was introduced as the hijackers’ “trainer” in the preparations stage. There were scenes showing Abu Torab training masked militants on martial arts and physical fitness.

On another front, Zarqawi’s successor, Abdallah al-Mohajer, made his first public media stunt today, in a seperate audio statement broadcasted also by Al-Jazeera. Al-Mohajer criticized Iraqi Sunnis who are willing to take part in the Iraqi government, and called on his “Jihad brothers” to continue attacks agains the US forces.

I’ll update the posting, when I get more info, or get to see the whole film.

UPDATE: Here’s an Arabic report by Al-Jazeera on Abdallah al-Mohajer’s statement.
UPDATE: Here are reports in English by Al-Jazeera on Al-Qaeda’s new video and Mohajer’s audio tape.
