Al-Qaeda to release third 9/11 video

New video expected to present reasons, motives for attacks on New York, Washington.

Al-Qaeda will release a third video marking the sixth anniversary of the September 11 attacks, this time showing its top leader in Afghanistan, US monitoring groups said Wednesday.

After releasing two videos featuring Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden in recent days, the terror network will now show a video "presenting reasons and motives for the attacks on New York and Washington," the SITE Intelligence Group said in a press release.

The new video will show Al-Qaeda's chief in Afghanistan, Mustafa Abu Al-Yazid, also known as Sheikh Said, said SITE, which monitors extremist websites.

The tape also features a montage of images showing the burning World Trade Center towers in New York and individuals such as Saudi King Abdullah, SITE said.

Another US-based monitoring group, IntelCenter, said it expected the video to be released by Al-Qaeda within 72 hours.

IntelCenter said the new video's upcoming release was announced by Al-Qaeda's media arm, As-Sahab.

Al-Qaeda released videos featuring Bin Laden on Friday and Tuesday, on the sixth anniversary of the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people in the United States.
