Arab station airs more of videotape of bin Laden

CAIRO, Egypt -- The Arab station Al-Jazeera broadcast more excerpts of a videotape on Tuesday in which a male voice attributed to Osama bin Laden can be heard naming all 19 Sept. 11 hijackers.

On Monday, the station broadcast a portion of the tape in which the same voice, speaking in Arabic, named the four leaders of the Sept. 11 attacks -- Mohamed Atta, Marwan Al-Shehhi, Ziad Jarrah and Hani Hanjour.

In Tuesday's broadcast, the voice named all 19 of the hijackers and gave the places of birth of most of them. The men, of whom 15 came from Saudi Arabia, were lavishly praised for their piety.

The voice on the tape said the hijackers realized "the only course to achieve justice and defeat injustice" was through "jihad" -- Muslim holy struggle.

There was no way to verify whether the person speaking on the tape was bin Laden, or when the recording was made. Abdel-Bari Atwan, editor of the London-based daily Al-Quds Al-Arabi who has interviewed bin Laden in the past, said on Al-Jazeera the voice sounded like bin Laden's.

The full tape will air Thursday.
