| Al-Jazeera admits Bin Laden error

The video did not feature Bin Laden himself
A videotape claiming Osama Bin Laden is still "alive and fighting" dates back to September, Arab television channel al-Jazeera has admitted.
Al-Jazeera's editor-in-chief, Ahmed Sheikh, said his channel had broadcast the footage by mistake.
Mr Sheikh said it had received the video in September and aired "the important parts" at the time.
In the video, Bin Laden's deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, also claimed al-Qaeda was behind the London bombings on 7 July.
"We got the videotape in September, and back then we aired what we thought were the important parts," Mr Sheikh told the AFP news agency.
| I then went to the Al-Jazeera site to once again look at their credo about honest and fair journalism and found this... Do you think that they are resetting their date and time settings?  Quote:
