'New' al Qaeda tape may contain old clip of bin Laden - CNN.com

I know that the Islamists feel this way, but the Leftists will refuse to believe it. After all, martyrdom needs to blamed on Bush to be understood by the Left. How did Osama forget this important part of his speech?

'New' al Qaeda tape may contain old clip of bin Laden - CNN.com: "Osama bin Laden stresses the importance of martyrdom for Muslim causes in a videotape that purportedly contains a 50-second message from the al Qaeda leader.

The 40-minute videotape, whose audio was being translated from Arabic by CNN, was intercepted before it was to appear on several Islamist Web sites known for carrying statements from al Qaeda and other radical groups.

The videotape, titled 'A Special Surprise from As-Sahab. Heaven's Breeze Part I,' was made in the last four weeks, but the clips appear to be old, said Octavia Nasr, CNN's senior editor for Arab affairs. There is no indication of where it was shot, and CNN cannot verify its authenticity.

'We're aware of the tape,' a government official, who didn't want to be identified, told CNN. The official agreed that the tape's content is not necessarily new."
