Cairo - Al-Jazeera aired on Thursday what it called previously unshown footage in which al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden is seen meeting with some of the September 11 hijackers.

The station did not say how it obtained the video, which was produced by As-Sahab, al-Qaeda's media branch.

The video showed bin Laden sitting with his former lieutenant Mohammed Atef and Ramzi Binalshibh, another suspected planner of the 9/11 suicide hijackings.

Atef, also known as Abu Hafs al-Masri, was killed by a US airstrike in Afghanistan in 2001.

Binalshibh was captured four years ago in Pakistan and is currently in US custody.

President George W Bush earlier this week announced plans to put him on military trial.

In the video, bin Laden was wearing a dark robe and white head gear walking outdoors in a mountainous area.

He smiled as he received several of what the tape said was the 9/11 hijackers.
