Interesting conversation with a reliable if insomniac friend at weekend. I paraphrase her recollection:
The night after 9/11, at about 3am, I heard an interview on the BBC WS with bin Laden. It had obviously been arranged way ahead of time, to talk about other matters, but the journalist had decided to go ahead with it.
“Were you behind the attack?”, he asked. Bin Laden laughed and replied “No, but I wish I had thought of it.”
Has anyone heard the story before? It seems incredible that no recording of it has surfaced but, as I say, she is generally pretty reliable and not tin-foil-hatted.
