Qatar: New film apparently showing Osama bin Laden and another al-Qaeda leader, Ayman al-Zawahri, was broadcast yesterday by al-Jazeera, the Doha-based Arab satellite television station.

Al-Jazeera also said it had separate audio tapes in which Zawahri vowed more attacks on the United States.

A voice said to be bin Laden's was also aired by the network, praising the suicide hijackers behind the September 11th, 2001, attacks. "Whoever wants to be taught about loyalty and honesty should have known them [the attackers\] ... They were the most honest and the bravest." The CIA and analysts around the world immediately began poring over the tapes to gauge their authenticity and scour them for clues of when and where they might have been made.

Al-Jazeera said the video was probably filmed in April or May. - (Reuters)
