Al Qaida has allegedly released a new video to mark the September 11th attacks.

The 90-minute video, titled "The Results of Seven Years of Crusades" also threatened major new attacks in Afghanistan.

The first man seen in the video is thought to be Mustafa Abu al-Yazeed, al-Qaida's top commander in Afghanistan.

He said: "We inform the forces of the cross and their apostate agents that the Mujahadeen's policy in the coming stage, Allah permitting, is going to be more major large scale attacks."

The next man to speak is purportedly a leading al-Qaida cleric called Sheik Attiyatullah. He said: "The Americans are without a doubt going to pull out of Iraq dragging their tails in defeat. The Jihad and Mujahedeen are here to stay and will keep going."

The late timing of the video has caused much discussion among experts. Evan Kohlmann, a director of a private terrorism research group said: "The late timing is certainly curious. They could have been having problems in the production line."
