al Qaeda's "9-11 Commemorative Tape" (UPDATED: Link to Full Video)

Excerpt posted at Laura Mansfield.com:

In addition to the scenes shown on Al Jazeera on Thursday, the video includes previously unseen footage of Azzam the American, describing the September 11 attacks and the hijackers.

In a particularly gruesome scene, the video shows the hijackers practicing with box cutters, and shows them rehearsing slitting the throats of passengers on the planes.

I just watched it and I'm speechless. It's too close to the anniversary of 9-11, and the scenes of them practicing cutting throats is absolutely sickening.

I can't imagine how I would feel if I were one of the people who lost a loved one in the attacks five years ago and I saw this disgusting video.

For some reason, the last few minutes are blacked out - at least, that's what happens when I try to view the video - trying to figure out if it's something on my end.

UPDATE: From the tape [emphasis mine]:

"And the brother pilots taught the youth of the Ummah a powerful lesson in sacrifice, courage, certainty in Allah's victory, and true reliance on Him.

And they reigned in the mouths of those who rant that those who undertake martyrdom operations are unemployed empty failures in life. These brothers abandoned a life of luxury and ease after the world had opened its doors to them..."

So much for winning the WOT by understanding the "root causes" of terrorism.

UPDATE II: Allah has the full video over at Hot Air.
