The CNN footage of the Palestinians dancing in the street was
shot in 1991. CNN says that footage was forwarded to it by the
Associated Press and Reuters, and it was dated Sept. 11, 2001.
The network assumes that's correct. Palestinian leader Yasser
Arafat, who condemned the terrorist attack, reportedly attributed
any celebrations to a small band of children.

The International Herald Tribune says that they happened:

So do NY Times, AP and other sites.
I've seen interviews with journalists who said they were threatened for taking photos, and the Palestinian Authority publically announced that they "couldn't guarantee the safety" of anyone who reported on the celebrations.
