The full story:
A video of a man claiming to be one of the four bombers behind the 7 July Tube attacks which killed 52 people has been shown on Arab TV.
The man, who said he was Mohammad Sidique Khan, 30, talked about his motives on a tape on al-Jazeera.
Khan said the UK government had committed atrocities against Muslims and he hailed Osama Bin Laden.
In a second video, al-Qaeda's Ayman al-Zawahiri claimed responsibility for the blasts and threatened new attacks.

Wow. Okay, since little seems to be known now about this I'm holding out for it having been filmed before the attacks.

It's got some shite in it which was not technologically possible at the time of its writing but which Michael Crichton, in his usual way, claimed was all totally realistic, about a CCTV video being faked by "reskinning" one of the people in it. He's implying, therefore, that this video is of someone else, and Al-Qaeda have put a CGI skin of Mohammed Khan over the top of it.
