It was late September or later when they determined it was al Qaeda. I recall getting woken up to a phone call to turn my tv on PST and seeing the planes hit "live." I believe some news outlets were speculating it on that day though. That I can't say for sure, but it wouldn't be declared officially for another few weeks, it wasn't until way later that groups started claiming responsibility, but there were several government intercepts suggesting it was bin laden. I do want to believe this though, but admit it smacks of "and then everybody clapped..."
It's not conclusive- the news could have reported it, they don't tend to wait on pesky things like "proof" or "facts" before they start going off. Since last night I did find a few mentions that some news networks were actually saying they believed bin Ladin to be at fault.
I was wondering the same thing. It looks like someone came in and got us both, but I can't figure out why? But yes. From what I could find it looks like there were news outlets that were already implicating bin laden in the attacks the day of. I haven't found any specific affiliates mentioned, and they re broadcast all day, so without knowing what time of day the OP watched and what network, this one could still be true or made up from all the evidence I've discovered this far.
I might not say unlikely. Possible but questionable. It's not so far to be doubtful but far enough in question that without more details I wouldn't rely on its credibility.
I remember the news that day. They most definetly seemed to know instantly. They talked immediately about who did it and why. This is why many people believe in a conspiracy.
