The video of Ayman al-Zawahri was one of three al-Qaeda released for the anniversary, showing increasingly sophisticated techniques as the group tried to demonstrate that it remains a powerful, confident force five years into the U.S. war on terror.
One video showed images of the planes striking the World Trade Center, lionizing the 19 suicide hijackers as men "who changed history." Another was a 91-minute documentary-style video in which Osama bin Laden is seen smiling and chatting with the planners of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in an Afghan mountain camp.
