WASHINGTON, Sept. 10 (UPI) -- Arabic language satellite network al-Jazeera broadcast what it said was new videotape of Osama bin Laden and his top deputy Wednesday.
CNN reports the new videotape, put out on the eve of the second anniversary of the attacks on New York and Washington, shows the man said to be bin Laden -- the leader of the al-Qaida terror network -- and his chief deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, walking down a hillside path with walking sticks in an undisclosed location.
In audiotape statements accompanying the video, a voice said to be that of bin Laden praises the hijackers who crashed jetliners into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. A fourth plane crashed into a Pennsylvania field.
The statement warns: "Those who don't agree with killing, then let them step out of the way. I would say to them, those who are afraid of climbing mountains will live in pits and holes."
The Zawahiri statement praises attacks on U.S. troops in Iraq, warning soldiers' mothers to "hasten to ask your government to return them to you, rather than they come back in coffins."
