Bin Laden, in video, praises ‘martyrdom’
From Times Wire Reports
A video posted today on a militant website, apparently by Al Qaeda, featured a clip of a weary-looking Osama bin Laden praising “martyrdom.”
In a report out of Cairo, the clip, lasting less than a minute, was part of a 40-minute video of purported Al Qaeda fighters in Afghanistan. It was not clear when Bin Laden was filmed. He was outside and wearing fatigues, and the environment was similar to that on releases made before the Sept. 11 attacks.
