Bin Laden alive claim is from old video (al-Jazeera: broadcast by mistake)

Bin Laden alive claim is from old video

A claim in an al-Qaida video that is at least two months old saying Osama bin Laden was alive and fighting was today broadcast as new by al-Jazeera.

The statement from Ayman al-Zawahiri, the second-in-command in the Bin Laden circle, that the al-Qaida leader was alive was the first such claim from the group for more than a year.

It had appeared to refute the rumours that the exiled Saudi was one of the 79,000 people who died in the October earthquake centred on Pakistan.

The station - whose news anchor trailed the footage as the "latest al-Zawahri video" - told the AFP news agency that the footage had been broadcast by mistake.
