Good Afternoon, I'm Kimberly McBroom.
The Bush administration says the videotape is the smoking gun that proves beyond doubt that Osama bin Laden was behind the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
The just- released tape is believed to have been recorded at a dinner meeting early last month in Jalalabad.
According to the U-S translation, bin Laden says ``the brothers
who conducted the operation, all they knew was that they have a
martyrdom operation.''
Aleen Sirgany joins us now with excerpts from that tape, and the latest on the war in Afghanistan.

After more bloodshed in Israel--which led to airstrikes against the

Arafat.
Israel holds the Palestinian leader directly responsible for yesterday's
bus attack that killed 10 Israelis as well as two other suicide
bombings. A government spokesman called Arafat irrelevant.

"WHAT IT MEANS IS THAT FROM NOW ON WE WILL DO WHAT IT TAKES TO FIGHT

Israel claims Arafat has not met their demands and HIS pledge to
crackdown on the terrorists.
The U.S. says it continues to recognize Arafat as head of the
Palestinian people.
Israeli fighter jets and helicopter gunships struck targets around Gaza
and the West Bank. Though Israel says it has no intention of harming
Arafat, its tanks have moved within a 100 yards of his Ramallah
headquarters.
He's been holed up there since his helicopters were destroyed last week.
Palestinian leaders says Israel has declared war.
Also Thursday Israeli troops destroyed the main transmitter and antenna
of the Palestinian Authority's radio station in the West Bank, knocking
it off the air.
