Hello on this Tuesday, the 11
day of September 2007. I'm
Kristin Volk with a UPI
Headline Update.

A new bin Laden video may have
been released today on the
sixth anniversary of the 9-11
attacks. But the authenticity
of the video cannot be
confirmed yet. A voice
speaking in Arabic is heard
over a still picture of the
terror mastermind. In the
47-minute tape, Bin Laden
reportedly does the
introduction, praising 9-11
hijacker Waleed al-Shehri from
Saudi Arabia. He sat on
American Airlines flight 11,
which crashed into the North
Tower of the World Trade
Center.

The additional 30 thousand
troops sent to Iraq in January
could come home by next July.
That's according to the top
U.S. military commander there,
Gen. David Petraeus. But he
added in yesterday's testimony
to Congress that further
American withdrawals would be
premature, saying their
experience in Iraq has shown
that projecting too far into
the future can be misleading
and hazardous. House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi called this
strategy unacceptable.

Senator Larry Craig reportedly
believes he has a good enough
case to reverse his guilty
plea. Craig's attorney filed a
motion yesterday to change the
plea that stems from charges
involving a Minnesota sex
sting. The attorney is
claiming that the arresting
police officer bullied the
Idaho Senator into admitting
guilt. But analysts say
Craig's chances of remaining
in office past the end of the
month remains small.

Senator Hillary Clinton is
returning more than 800
thousand dollars in
contributions tied to
disgraced fundraiser Norman
Hsu. The Democratic
Presidential Candidate will
reportedly send the money back
to about 260 donors. Hsu has
been one of the Democratic
Party's leading fundraisers,
but it was revealed last month
that he was allegedly a
fugitive in an investment
fraud case in the 1990s. He
was arrested last week in
Colorado. A Clinton official
said in a statement that the
campaign was unaware of his
alleged illegal activities and
have put in more rigorous
background checks for future
donors.
