Osama Bin Laden is said to release a new video message to the American people. He plans to release it on the date of 9/11 attacks. This announcement was made on an Islamist website, where al-Qaeda's messages are frequently posted.

US homeland security officials say they don't have any information concerning the tape. Bin Laden has not been seen in a video since October 2004, when he threatened new attacks against the US on the eve of the presidential election. An audio tape released of Bin Laden was released in January 2006
