Officials said they found the videotape in a private residence in Jalalabad. During the 40-minute recording, bin Laden indicates he knew for several days that September 11 would be the date of the attacks. He also said that he had turned on his radio in advance to listen to coverage of the attacks and that he had underestimated the damage that would be inflicted on the World Trade Center.

Release of the tape, dated November 9 and made in Kandahar, Afghanistan, was hotly debated within the White House as officials weighed concerns about protecting U.S. intelligence sources with building the public case against bin Laden.
