The US defence department is to release a video of the plane crashing into the Pentagon on 11 September 2001, legal rights group Judicial Watch has said.
The US was to release the previously unseen footage at 1300 (1700 GMT).

American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the US military headquarters, killing 184 people, after it was hijacked as part of an al-Qaeda plot.

The release of the video, taken from a Pentagon security camera, comes after a Freedom of Information Act request.

Judicial Watch said it would release the footage as soon as it could, but it was not clear when that would be.

'Conspiracy theories'

Stills released in 2002 showed the moment the hijacked plane crashed into the Pentagon, killing 125 people in the building and 59 passengers and crew.


The crash came shortly after two other hijacked airlines were flown into the twin towers at the World Trade Center in New York.

Judicial Watch filed the freedom of information request in 2004, but the Pentagon refused to release the video because it was part of the investigation involving al-Qaeda plotter Zacarias Moussaoui, the group said.

Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit this February, arguing that there was "no legal basis" for the refusal.

Earlier this month Moussaoui was jailed for life for his role in the 2001 attacks.

Judicial Watch said it wanted to obtain the video because "it was very important to complete the public record" on the attacks.

"Finally, we hope that this video will put to rest the conspiracy theories involving American Airlines Flight 77," President Tom Fitton said.

Some theorists have questioned the official account of the Pentagon attack.

French author Thierry Meyssan alleged that Flight 77 did not crash into the Pentagon and suggested a truck bomb or missile caused the damage.

Such views are challenged by eye-witness testimony at the scene of an aircraft fitting the description of Flight 77 crashing into the site

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Video showing a plane crashing into the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, will be released publicly for the first time on Tuesday, a judicial watchdog said.

The Department of Defense will hand over tapes showing American Airlines Flight 77 striking its headquarters outside Washington to Judicial Watch, a public interest group that requested the video, the group said.

The video will be available on the group's Web site after it receives the tape at 1 p.m., according to a news release from Judicial Watch.

Still photographs of the aftermath of the attack showed the Pentagon on fire but no images of the Boeing 757 striking the building have ever been made public. (Watch fireballs engulf ruined parts of the Pentagon -- 0:55)

"We fought hard to obtain this video because we felt that it was very important to complete the public record with respect to the terrorist attacks of September 11," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

"Finally, we hope that this video will put to rest the conspiracy theories involving American Airlines Flight 77. As always, our prayers remain with all those who suffered as a result of those murderous attacks."

The Pentagon attack killed 184 people: Fifty-three passengers and six crew members on board American Airlines Flight 77, and 125 military and civilian personnel inside the building.

Some conspiracy theorists have maintained the aircraft was shot down in flight, and that the Pentagon was struck by a missile.

Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act request, but the government had refused to release the video until after the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui, the convicted al Qaeda conspirator who was sentenced earlier this month to life in prison.

Judicial Watch is "a conservative, non-partisan educational foundation, promotes transparency, accountability and integrity in government, politics and the law," according to its Web site.

The group filed a lawsuit this year, arguing that there was "no legal basis" for the Pentagon's refusal to release the tape.

The video requested by Judicial Watch was taken from security cameras at the Pentagon, the Sheraton National Hotel, the Nexcomm/Citgo gas station, and Virginia Department of Transportation traffic cameras.

Jill Farrell, Judicial Watch's director of media affairs, told CNN she would not know which video will be released "until we see it."

I don't think it's a big plane, since it only had 53 passengers.

Well you know, but just from judging from that vid it's not a plane. That's not saying anything though.

Wow. There are still people who question the fact that a plane hit the Pentagon. I guess the airplane that took off and never landed is being stored at Area 57 with all the passengers who got on the plane but never got off the plane that never landed. :rolleyes:

I have never seen any hard evidence that a plane ever took off, and crashed into the pentagon. I was not there, can't be 100% sure that happened. It is probable that it happened, but when conspiracy theories pressure the government to release tapes, and this is all they release, it makes me wonder...

The plane actually hit the Pentagon. What do you think happened? Do you honestly think America would shoot at its ownself? What about the family members on the plane. They had to die some how.

I have seen no hard evidence of the moon landing either. Can I be 100% sure that it happened?

um...YES!!!

I guess the manifests and air traffic control records were faked and all the passengers, including the wife of the former sollicitor general of the US are squirreled away somewhere.

Thousands of family members and friends are in on the deception, too!

Wow.

So we are going to throw eyewitness testimony out of the door. People who saw a plane fly into the Pentagon. One of the friend's of my friend's mother who had his truck mostly destroyed from the Pentagon attack. Yeah, it didn't happen.
Cole Hamels invented the Internet. When Al Gore tried to take credit, Hamels K'd him with a curve...but not before hitting a homerun with his daughter.
