A series of interviews, audio and videotapes were released in the years following the 9/11 attacks that were reported to be from Osama bin Laden. In the first of these the speaker denied responsibility for the attacks. On September 17, 2001, in a statement issued to [[Al Jazeera Media Network|Al Jazeera]], Bin Laden is quoted as saying: "The U.S. government has consistently blamed me for being behind every occasion its enemies attack it. I would like to assure the world that I did not plan the recent attacks, which seems to have been planned by people for personal reasons."<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://archives.cnn.com/2001/US/09/16/inv.binladen.denial/index.html |title=Bin Laden says he wasn't behind attacks CNN September 17, 2001 |publisher=CNN |date=September 17, 2001 |access-date=July 20, 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090707090738/http://archives.cnn.com/2001/US/09/16/inv.binladen.denial/index.html |archive-date=July 7, 2009 }}</ref>
 
In a tape released in December 2001 known as 'the [[Jalalabad]] tape', the speaker is alleged to have foreknowledge of the attacks. The [[Central Intelligence Agency]] claimed the tape was probably from [[Osama bin Laden]]. {{Citation needed|date=September 2011}} Some observers, especially people in the [[Muslim world]], doubted the authenticity of the tape.<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/september11/story/0,11209,619188,00.html U.S. urged to detail origin of tape] ''[[The Guardian|Guardian]]'' December 15, 2001.</ref> On December 20, 2001, German TV channel "[[Das Erste]]" broadcast an analysis of the White House's translation of the videotape. On the program ''Monitor'', two independent translators and an expert on [[Oriental Studies]] found the White House's translation to be both inaccurate and manipulative, stating, "At the most important places where it is held to prove the guilt of bin Laden, it is not identical with the Arabic", and that the words used that indicate foreknowledge can not be heard at all in the original. Prof. Gernot Rotter, professor of Islamic and Arabic Studies at the Asia-Africa Institute at the [[University of Hamburg]], said "The American translators who listened to the tapes and transcribed them apparently wrote a lot of things in that they wanted to hear but that cannot be heard on the tape no matter how many times you listen to it."<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20021218105636/http://www.wdr.de/tv/monitor/beitraege.phtml?id=379 "Bin-Laden-Video: Falschübersetzung als Beweismittel?] WDR, Das Erste, MONITOR Nr. 485 am December 20, 2001</ref>
