Another clip broadcast by the Arab TV station Al-Jazeera shows Osama bin Laden kneeling side by side with a top deputy who pro claimed the terror attacks a “great victory.” It was not clear when the tape shown Monday was made, but the appearance of an apparent hijacker in one segment indicated at least some parts were filmed before the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Al-Jazeera’s editor in chief, Ibrahim Hilal, said the hourlong video, complete with narration and graphics, was delivered by hand to the station's Qatar offices a week ago. “I can't tell you about when the material was made exactly, but it seems very recent." Hilal said, noting the narrator at one point refers to the March 27-28 Arab League summit as coming up shortly. Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said the bin Laden material appeared to be outdated in the videotape he watched. Rumsfeld was not certain that the tape shown was the same taped aired on Al-Jazeera on Monday. “I was advised that what I was watching very likely was using a patchwork of clips from previous periods along with some dia logue of more recent periods ” Rumsfeld told a Pentagon briefing, qualifying his remarks as “very preliminary.” Al-Jazeera, which has aired previous bin Laden statements, said it would broadcast the entire tape — which apparently includes old comments from bin Laden — on Thursday. The London-based Arab newspaper Al Hayat published excerpts Monday from what it said was a statement from Mullah Mohammed Omar, the fugitive leader of the Taliban militia that provided safe haven to al-Qaida in Afghanistan. According to Al Hayat. Omar expressed solidarity with the Palestinians in their confrontation with Israel and linked their plight toj^^l^Gled war on terror, which some militant Muslims Islam. jf Omar, bin Laden, his deputy Ayman al l-Qaida officials are unknown.
