The al-Qaeda leader is to deliver a hate-filled video on July 4, American Independence Day. The announcement was made on the Arabic Sahab website which issues daily information on the war in Afghanistan. Bin Laden was pictured on the site, kneeling between two al-Qaeda officials. His spokesman Sulaiman Abu Ghaith says: "America should get ready and fasten its safety belt. "We will come to them from where they don't expect. Yes, we will wage attacks but at the right time, at the place we want, in the way we please." On Friday the FBI were taking seriously a Lebanese-born man's claims to have overheard a mobile phone conversation in Arabic about an attack on Las Vegas. But yesterday they said they had no evidence of any threat on July 4. According to Michael Hamdan, the speakers said: ``"We are here in the city of corruption...the city of gambling and prostitution, the city of the unbelievers. The warlord, who was behind the September 11 attacks on New York's World Trade Center and the Pentagon, has not been heard from since he was detected on December 11 at his eastern Afghan hideout in Tora Bora. American intelligence sources believe he is surrounded by al-Qaeda's high command either in Afghanistan or Pakistan. The FBI has also been tracing another website, alneda. com, the mouthpiece for al-Qaeda. The site has audio and video clips of bin Laden and photographs of al-Qaeda suspects in detention in Pakistan. There also appear to be coded messages for followers to transmit instructions for attacks. It has been closed down twice by US intelligence forces after appearing in Malaysia and Texas. Earlier this month the site posted a message of condolence from terrorist and Taliban chief Mullar Mohammed Omar after the death of a Pakistan scholar. It was revealed yesterday that the man believed to have recruited September 11 hijacker Mohammed Atta to al-Qaeda was investigated in 1999. Mohammed Haydar Zammar, 41, attracted the attention of German intelligence after making contact with bin Laden's suspected financial chief. Zammar was arrested in Morocco this week along with other suspected al- Qaeda members, including Abu Zubair al-Haili. Al-Haili is thought to have been pivotal in training hijackers for September 11. £600,000 TWIN TOWER PAYOUTS: Page 8
