In part, yes, but none of the September 11th terrorists was a
Palestinian, whereas the "Holy Jihad Brigades" are said to be a
Palestinian group, though that has yet to be confirmed.

This is the first time I hear of the "Holy Jihad Brigades," so, of
course, I don't know, but last year, I heard of the formation of the
"Al-Qaida-Palestine Frontier Jihad Brigades," whose communique and
oath are available online:
<http://www.globalterroralert.com/pdf/0805/qaidapalestine0805-2.pdf> and
<http://www.globalterroralert.com/pdf/0805/qaidapalestine0805-3.pdf>.
I can't say anything about the authenticity of the documents or
accuracy of translation, but they sound similar in tone and rhetoric
to the "Holy Jihad Brigades'" statement:
"Kidnappers' Statement,"
