    This story turns out to be untrue.

     From http://www.snopes2.com/inboxer/outrage/cnn.htm :

             Eason Jordan, CNN's Chief News Executive, confirmed
             that the video footage used on CNN was in fact shot Tuesday in
    East Jerusalem by a Reuters TV crew,
             not during the Persian Gulf conflict of 1990-91 -- a fact proved
    by its inclusion of comments from a
             Palestinian praising Osama Bin Laden, whose name was unlikely to
    have come up ten years earlier in
             connection with the invasion and liberation of Kuwait. As well,
    the person who made the claim quoted
             above has since recanted.
