Possible New Message From Osama Bin Laden

Rhonda Schwartz and Hoda Osman Report:
A brief clip of an older-looking Osama bin Laden is contained in a new al Qaeda videotape praising al Qaeda martyrs posted on jihadi Web sites early this morning.
Experts who study al Qaeda videos told ABC News they had not previously seen the clip of bin Laden, which was released with little fanfare and contains no date references, but say it is most likely an unreleased portion of an earlier message.
The al Qaeda leader speaks of martyrdom for roughly one minute as he addresses an unseen group in a mountainous location, wearing fatigues, a watch and ring, and with extensive gray in his beard.
The clip is part of a 40-minute film "Scent of Heaven" from al Qaeda's as Sahab video propaganda arm discovered on the Internet by Laura Mansfield of Strategic Translations.
The clip also contains several "martyrdom" videos from various al Qaeda followers from Pakistan, Morocco, Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Turkistan.
In the clip, bin Laden talks about martyrdom as he refers to the prophet Mohammad.
"He wished to become a martyr," bin Laden says of Mohammad, before quoting a hadith (prophet saying).
"By Him, in Whose hand Mohammad's soul is, I would've liked to raid and be killed, then raid and be killed, then raid and be killed," he says.
