Americans Tuesday are marking the sixth anniversary of the September
11, 2001 terrorist attacks, with ceremonies in New York and
Washington.

President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice will hold a moment of silence on the White House
lawn. In New York, rescue workers and families of victims will read
out the names of the 2,750 victims killed there.

The key planner of the attacks, al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, today
released a videotape eulogizing one of the suicide hijackers who
attacked the United States.

Bin Laden is shown in a still image on the new video urging
sympathizers to join the "caravan" of martyrs as he praises hijacker
Walid al-Shehri, who was killed in the first attack on the World Trade
Center. After bin Laden speaks, there is video of al-Shehri condemning
the United States.

The new message comes days after bin Laden appeared in his first video
in nearly three years. In that video, the terrorist leader urges
Americans to abandon their democratic system of government and embrace
Islam.

President Bush called the first video a reminder of the dangerous
world in which we live, and he said it showed the need for all nations
to work together against terrorism.

Bin Laden and his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, are believed to be hiding
in the border area between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
