Arab satellite news network Al Jazeera and an Islamist Web site aired previously unseen footage Sept. 7 of Osama bin Laden and other high-ranking al Qaeda leaders apparently planning the 9/11 attacks. The video, like most other recent ones of al Qaeda leaders, was produced by the jihadist network's As-Sahab media branch, the fairly new organization behind the network's latest media blitz. In fact, banner ads appearing on extremist Web sites claim the video is a trailer for an upcoming As-Sahab documentary on the 9/11 attacks.

In the absence of major attacks, As-Sahab has become al Qaeda prime's only means of making a strategic impact on the world outside of the Afghan-Pakistani border region.
