Guardian:U.K. Paper Says Has Unseen 9/11 Video

[cal04]

A previously unseen video made by Mohammed Atta, ringleader of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, has been obtained by a Britain's The Sunday Times, the newspaper reported Saturday.

In editions available late Saturday, the paper said it had been handed the so-called martyrdom video, but did not reveal the source of the tape.

It reported that Atta was filmed reading a document marked in Arabic as a will as he sat beside fellow hijacker Zaid Jarrah - who seized control of United Airlines flight 93, which crashed into a field in Shanksville, Pa.

The newspaper said that a timecode stamp on the videotape indicated it had been recorded on January 18, 2000 and the recording was made at an al-Qaida training camp in Afghanistan.

1. Gee, for this election, we get the rare ATTA video! Wow!

The "timestamp" on my VCR says it's midnight on 1/1/2000. So I guess Clinton is still president.

[EstoniaKat]

9. Yep, you are funny stuff ...

These guys are laughing at your joke.

[blm]

2. Sounds like BushInc released it to point blame back at Clinton.

Damn - - this stuff needed airing 4 or 5 YEARS AGO. Now, BushInc is taking focus OFF Iraq and their lies by pushing the 9-11 is Clinton's fault again meme.

Sheesh

[merwin]

3. How nice of them to timestamp their video.

[ShortnFiery]

7. Between that and keeping their buddy lists updated on their cell phones

well ----> those Terrorists are just way too considerate!

BTW Did you know that most of those names on "Terrorist" cell phone registries are that of Democratic Strategists and Political Representatives in the USA?

Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!

[daleo]

4. No soundtrack? How's that work?

"There was no soundtrack, the newspaper said. It quoted an unnamed U.S. source as saying that attempts to lip read the tape to transcribe the content had been unsuccessful."

On edit - Maybe it was from the silent era.

[habitual]

5. I'm sure they meant a training camp in IRAQ

not Afghanistan... must be a typo!

[oblivious]

6. Atta was in Germany at that time, being trailed by the CIA.

January-May 2000: CIA Has Atta Under Surveillance

Hijacker Mohamed Atta is put under surveillance by the CIA while living in Germany. He is “reportedly observed buying large quantities of chemicals in Frankfurt, apparently for the production of explosives for biological warfare.” “The US agents reported to have trailed Atta are said to have failed to inform the German authorities about their investigation,” even as the Germans are investigating many of his associates.

8. the video was found in the rubble of the wtc...

someone who found it, an ex fbi agent who was walking his dog, knew the bushevikies would toss it down the 'memory hole' and outta frustration he sent it to the brits guardian newspaper, a leftist rag which would surely bring it to public attention....the bottle he put the video in took years to get to england, due to contrary tidal currents and the gulf stream acting up due to global warming....but fortunately someone found the bottle on the shore, read the message and delivered the tape to the guardian newsroom in time for the midterm congressionals!
god (allah) works in mysterious ways, that's for sure....
still, imagine sending the one/only copy of a miraclulous 911 pertinent video to a foreign newspaper in a bottle!
keeerist!
now we've seen everything....

[reprobate]

21. "god (allah) works in mysterious ways"? That phrase is outmode now

Under the Rove/Bush regime. It's now translated as "KKKarl works in mysterious ways".

[pretzel4gore]

22. 'there is no god but turdblossom!'....

sorta rings out with spiritual flatulence, don't it?

[Miss Chybil]

10. He recorded his will almost two years in advance and people think

we haven't been attacked in five years because Bush is doing such a heckofa job. God, I wish somebody with a brain was in charge of this country.

11. The laughing 9/11 bombers (new pre-9/11 film has emerged)

Exclusive film of suicide pilots at Bin Laden’s HQ

FILM of the ringleader of the September 11 hijackers reading his “martyrdom” will inside Afghanistan at Osama Bin Laden’s headquarters has emerged five years after the Al-Qaeda outrage.

It is the first time that a videotape has appeared of Mohammed Atta — who flew an American Airlines plane into the north tower of the World Trade Center — at a training camp in Afghanistan. It fills in a significant gap in the timing of the build-up to the attacks on the United States.

Dates on the tape show Atta was filmed on January 18, 2000, together with Ziad Jarrah, the pilot of United Airlines flight 93, which crashed in Pennsylvania after the passengers apparently stormed the flight deck.

The Sunday Times has obtained a copy of the video through a previously tested channel. The tape has no soundtrack and a US source said lip readers had tried without success to decipher what was being said.

(snip)

The high quality, unedited film shows Bin Laden addressing his followers at the mud-walled complex near Kandahar. One of the main figures in the September 11 plot, Ramzi Binalshibh, is identifiable in the crowd, as is a bodyguard whose task was to kill Bin Laden with two bullets to the head if he faced capture.

Dating on the tape indicates that the Al-Qaeda leader was filmed on January 8, 2000, 10 days before Atta and Jarrah recorded their wills.

15. Here's what Tenet told Congress in 02:

Unclassified Version of
Director of Central Intelligence George J. Tenet's Testimony before the
Joint Inquiry into Terrorist Attacks Against the United States

18 June 2002

.. The Hamburg pilots traveled to Afghanistan in late 1999 ..

Atta (#1) flew from Hamburg to Istanbul in late 1999, then on to Karachi, Pakistan. After that, he evidently traveled into Afghanistan.

According to information acquired after the 11 September attacks, Atta (#1) and al-Shehhi (#6) were both present at Bin Ladin facilities in Afghanistan in late 1999; Atta's presence has been corroborated by a separate source ..

Jarrah's (#16) travel at this time mirrored Atta's, flying from Hamburg to Istanbul and then on to Karachi in late 1999 ..

Jarrah (#16) returned to Hamburg in January and on 9 February 2000, reported that his passport had been lost. He received a visa from the US Embassy in Berlin in May 2000.

Atta (#1) returned to Hamburg in February 2000. In March, he sent e-mails to flight schools in Florida and Oklahoma asking about pilot training. Atta received a new Egyptian passport from the Egyptian consulate in Hamburg on 8 May 2000. On the 18th, he was issued a visa by the US Embassy in Berlin ..

17. Um ... am I missing something?

If there's no soundtrack and the attempts to lip read the tape to transcribe the content were unsuccessful, how do they know it's a martyrdom video?

[agincourt]

18. Next up boys and girls,

The Atta/Jarrah jackass movie. Maybe they'll do the wedgie thing.
