Shaykh: May Allah be blessed.
Unidentified Man Off Camera: Abd Al Rahman Al-(Ghamri) said he saw a vision, before the operation, a plane crashed into a tall building. He knew nothing about it.
Shaykh: May Allah be blessed!
Sulayman ((Abu Guaith)): I was sitting with the Shaykh in a room, then I left to go to another room where there was a TV set. The TV broadcasted the big event. The scene was showing an Egyptian family sitting in their living room, they exploded with joy. Do you know when there is a soccer game and your team wins? It was the same expression of joy. There was a subtitle that read: “In revenge for the children of Al Aqsa?, Osama Bin Ladin executes an operation against America.?? So I went back to the Shaykh (meaning OBL) who was sitting in a room with 50 to 60 people. I tried to tell him about what I saw, but he made gesture with his hands, meaning: “I know, I know.??

OBL: He did not know about the operation. Not everybody knew (…inaudible…). Muhammad ((Atta)) from the Egyptian family (meaning the al Qaida Egyptian group), was in charge of the group.
Shaykh: A plane crashing into a tall building was out of anyone?s imagination. This was a great job. He was one of the pious men in the organization. He became a martyr. Allah bless his soul.
Shaykh (Referring to dreams and visions): The plane that he saw crashing into the building was seen before by more than one person. One of the good religious people has left everything and come here. He told me, “I saw a vision, I was in a huge plane, long and wide. I was carrying it on my shoulders and I walked from the road to the desert for half a kilometer. I was dragging the plane.?? I listened to him and I prayed to Allah to help him. Another person told me that last year he saw, but I didn?t understand and I told him, ?I don?t understand.? He said, “I saw people who left for jihad … and they found themselves in New York … in Washington and New York.?? I said, “What is this??? He told me the plane hit the building. That was last year. We haven?t thought much about it. But, when the incidents happened he came to me and said, “Did you see … this is strange.?? I have another man … my god … he said and swore by Allah that his wife had seen the incident a week earlier. She saw the plane crashing into a building … that was unbelievable, my god.
OBL: The brothers, who conducted the operation, all they knew was that they have a martyrdom operation and we asked each of them to go to America but they didn?t know anything about the operation, not even one letter. But they were trained and we did not reveal the operation to them until they are there and just before they boarded the planes.
OBL: (…inaudible…) Then he said: Those who were trained to fly didn?t know the others. One group of people did not know the other group. (…inaudible…) (Someone in the crowd asks OBL to tell the Shaykh about the dream of ((Abu-Da?ud)).
OBL: We were at a camp of one of the brother?s guards in Kandahar. This brother belonged to the majority of the group. He came close and told me that he saw, in a dream, a tall building in America, and in the same dream he saw Mukhtar teaching them how to play karate. At that point, I was worried that maybe the secret would be revealed if everyone starts seeing it in their dream. So I closed the subject. I told him if he sees another dream, not to tell anybody, because people will be upset with him.
(Another person?s voice can be heard recounting his dream about two planes hitting a big building).

OBL: They were overjoyed when the first plane hit the building, so I said to them: be patient.
OBL: The difference between the first and the second plane hitting the towers was twenty minutes. And the difference between the first plane and the plane that hit the Pentagon was one hour.
Shaykh: They (the Americans) were terrified thinking there was a coup.
Note: Ayman Al-Zawahri says first he commended OBL?s awareness of what the media is saying. Then he says it was the first time for them (Americans) to feel danger coming at them.
OBL (reciting a poem):
I witness that against the sharp blade
They always faced difficulties and stood together…
When the darkness comes upon us and we are bit by a
Sharp tooth, I say…
“Our homes are flooded with blood and the tyrant
Is freely wandering in our homes??…
And from the battlefield vanished
The brightness of swords and the horses…
And over weeping sounds now
We hear the beats of drums and rhythm
They are storming his forts
And shouting: “We will not stop our raids
Until you free our lands??…
Bin Laden visit footage complete. Footage of the visit to the helicopter site follows the poem.
