CAIRO, Egypt (AP) -- Al Qaeda said Monday that it will release a new video of Osama bin Laden presenting the last testament of one of the September 11 suicide hijackers, marking the sixth anniversary of the attacks.

The announcement from the terror group's media arm came only days after bin Laden appeared in his first video in three years, giving an address to the American people, lecturing them to abandon capitalism and democracy and convert to Islam.

The announcement came in a banner advertisement posted on an Islamic militant Web site where al Qaeda often releases messages and was signed by al-Sahab, the media arm of bin Laden's al Qaeda terror network.

"Coming soon, God willing, the testament of the attacks on New York and Washington, Abu Musab Waleed al Shehri, presented by Sheik Osama bin Laden, God preserve him," the banner read. It showed an image of bin Laden wearing the same black beard and clothes as in the most recent video.

Al Qaeda has marked past anniversaries of the September 11, 2001, attacks by putting out videos of the last will and testaments of some of the hijackers, usually accompanied by comments by top leaders and documentary-style footage.

Last year, for example, al-Sahab released a 55-minute video with the last testimonies of hijackers Wail al-Shehri and Hamza al-Ghamdi.

The video included old but previously unreleased footage showing bin Laden strolling through an Afghan training camp where the attacks were apparently planned and chatting with top al Qaeda lieutenants. The tape was accompanied by another with an address by bin Laden's deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri.

Waleed al-Shehri was one of the hijackers on American Airlines flight 11 that hit the World Trade Center.

Wenn ich nach Schweden ausgewandert wäre, würde mir auch Alles am Arsch vorbeigehen außer vielleicht ein Atomkrieg.

Nee, aber irgendwann geht's hier auch mal rund, jedoch bestimmt in einer markanten Großstadt, das ist absehbar.

SPANGDAHLEM, Germany (CNN) -- A U.S. Air Force base in Germany received a bomb threat hours before the sixth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, military officials said.

Military police have stepped up security and are taking a closer look at cars and trucks entering the Spangdahlem Air Base following a telephone call threatening to blow the facility up.

Someone speaking German -- with a non-German accent -- called the base Monday evening and issued the bomb warning, according to Iris Reiff, a spokeswoman with the public affairs office at the base.

As well as coming a day before the 9/11 anniversary the incident also occurred a week after the unraveling of a terror plot aimed at U.S. military installations in Germany.

"We've sort of diverted traffic around the main gate area so each of the security forces can get a complete look at the vehicles from the front and side," said Capt. Kevin Koffman, a base spokesman.

Otherwise, he said, it's "business as usual" on the base, which is in western Germany. German police were working to trace the phone call, but so far no arrests have been made.

Three men, two Germans and a Turk, were arrested last week by German police for allegedly being part of a Islamic Jihad cell that targeted American military installations and other Western targets in Germany.

Investigators said they had begun mixing a massive amount of explosive materials that could have resulted in a strong blast -- stronger than those seen in terror attacks in Madrid in 2004 and London in 2005.
