Is it live, or is it Memorex? A new bin Laden tape is out, but we can't tell when it was made.
In an excerpt of the tape, bin Laden appears with his top deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri, who claims the Sept. 11 attacks as a "great victory.""Those 19 brothers who went out and worked and sacrificed their lives for God, God granted this victory that we enjoy today," al-Zawahri said.
"The great victory that was achieved was because of God's help and not because of our efficiency or cunning," he said.
An Al-Jazeera official said the tape was received a few days ago at its headquarters in Doha, Qatar. Al-Jazeera broadcast only an excerpt of the tape, and said it would air the complete tapes on Thursday.
bin Laden does not speak on the tape.
