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," <http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,209985,00.html>. -- Yoshie <http://montages.blogspot.com/> <http://mrzine.org> <http://monthlyreview.org/>
