CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - Al-Jazeera broadcast Thursday a previously unshown video of the preparations for the Sept. 11 attacks in which al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden is seen meeting with some of the planners and hijackers in a mountain camp in Afghanistan.


The video also included the last wills and testaments of two of the hijackers, Wail al-Shehri and Hamza al-Ghamdi. The station did not say how it obtained the video, which was produced by As-Sahab, al-Qaida's media branch.

Al-Jazeera said that among those he greets in the video are several of the 9-11 hijackers, but their faces were not clear and it was not immediately known which ones are shown.
