Al-Jazeera TV aired on Thursday night unshown images in which al-Qaeda leader, Osama bin Laden is seen meeting with some of the Sept. 11 hijackers. The video was produced by As-Sahab, al-Qaeda's media branch.

 

The video showed bin Laden sitting with his former lieutenant Mohammed Atef and Ramzi Binalshibh, another suspected planner of the Sept. 11, 2001, suicide hijackings. Atef, also known as Abu Hafs al-Masri, was killed by a U.S. airstrike in Afghanistan in 2001. Binalshibh was captured four years ago in Pakistan and is currently in U.S. custody.

 

In the video, Bin Laden was walking outdoors in a mountainous area. He smiled as he received several of what the tape said was several of the Sept. 11 hijackers.
