WASHINGTON: Osama Bin Laden plans to issue a video message addressing the American people on the sixth anniversary of the attacks on September 11, the US-based monitoring service SITE said on Thursday.
"The SITE Intelligence Group has learned that a new video message is forthcoming from the head of Al-Qaeda" on the 9/11 anniversary, said the group, which monitors extremist websites and publications.
The Al-Qaeda network's media arm announced the video in a notice posted on some alleged forums at about 5:15 pm (2115 GMT), according to SITE.
It would be the first video message from Bin Laden since 2004, it said.
The online notice included a photo of Bin Laden in which his black beard did not have the usual streaks of gray. He was also not wearing a camouflage jacket as in previous appearances.
Another US-based monitor of extremist websites, IntelCenter, confirmed the notice from Al-Qaeda's media production group, as-Sahab.
"We expect the release to occur within the next 72 hours," IntelCenter said in a statement.
