It is later reported that on this day, bin Laden calls his stepmother and says, “In two days, you're going to hear big news and you're not going to hear from me for a while.” US officials later tell CNN that “in recent years they've been able to monitor some of bin Laden's telephone communications with his [step]mother. Bin Laden at the time was using a satellite telephone, and the signals were intercepted and sometimes recorded.” [New York Times, 10/2/01 (http://cooperativeresearch.org/timeline/2001/nyt100201.html)] Stepmother Al-Khalifa bin Laden, who raised Osama bin Laden after his natural mother died, is apparently waiting in Damascus, Syria, to meet Osama there, so he calls to cancel the meeting. [Sunday Herald, 10/7/01 (http://www.sundayherald.com/19047)] They had met periodically in recent years. Before 9/11, to impress important visitors, NSA analysts would occasionally play audio tapes of bin Laden talking to his stepmother. The next day government officials say about the call, “I would view those reports with skepticism.” [CNN, 10/2/01 (http://cooperativeresearch.org/timeline/2001/cnn100201.html)]

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Knowledgeable U.S officials believe there is no truth to reports that Osama bin Laden called his mother shortly before the September 11 attacks and hinted at upcoming terrorist attacks against the United States.

"We doubt it. We do not think it happened," one of the sources said.

When pressed about the reports, the source said flatly: "We think it's wrong."

Another official said while he could not "one hundred percent eliminate the possibility, I would view those reports with skepticism if I were you."

The New York Times reported Tuesday that bin Laden called his mother September 10 and told her "something big" was about to happen and that she would not hear from him for a long time.

The Times attributed the information to a senior foreign official. NBC, which first reported the phone call Monday, said the call came two days before the terrorist hijackings and said bin Laden told his mother: "In two days, you're going to hear big news and you're not going to hear from me for a while."

U.S. officials told CNN that in recent years they've been able to monitor some of bin Laden's telephone communications with his mother. Bin Laden at the time was using a satellite telephone, and the signals were intercepted and sometimes recorded.

More recently, U.S. officials believe bin Laden has used other means of communicating, and intelligence experts told CNN they could not confirm that they have been able to continue overhearing his calls.

Bin Laden, a Saudi native, lives in Afghanistan and has been labeled by President Bush as the "prime suspect" in the attacks against the United States.

Currently, I don't believe Osama had anything to do with 911. I think this conversation is out to make their story credible. If you watch the German TV show (it was linked here) that openly discussed some of the scapegoats that backed out of whatever the original plan was. If Hijackers were on those planes like the Govt. says the videos would have been plastered all over the news media. I think this is similar to the 7/7 bombings, there was a plan (IMHO) to get muslim looking men on the planes but they were getting on for reasons other then to take it over. The 7/7 bombers were part of some type of drill and I believe they thought they were carrying something other then a bomb.

The Government committed 9/11. We're still trying to put the pieces together, and this happens to be one of them... Osama may have supplied the necessary "patsies" to carry out the attack, but the attack itself was by the Government.
