the way I read that, all it means is that they had a mix up with the identification. I don't find that very suspicious considering that any international terrorist worth his salt knows he needs fraudulent but believable identification. You don't have much proof there. Furthermore, you have no idea how the FBI identified the attackers and neither do I. Until then, I'll take the word of the UN, the world community at large and the United States Government. There is undeniable proof that Al Qaida in fact had massive infrastructure in Taliban controlled Iraq.

Al Qaeda claims responsibility for September 11
April 15, 2002 Posted: 9:02 PM EDT (0102 GMT)
(CNN) -- The Arab-language television aired a previously unseen videotape showing al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and his chief deputy Ayman Al-Zawahiri.
Bin Laden did not speak in the tape, but Al-Zawahiri said al Qaeda was responsible for the September 11 attacks.
The following is a translation of Al-Zawahiri's statement:
"This great victory that has been accomplished can only be attributed to God alone. It is not because of our skill or success but thanks to God it was possible. Allah almighty chooses those who are blessed by his mercy. Allah looks in the heart of his worshipers and chooses those who are qualified for his mercy, grace and blessing. Those 19 brothers who went out and gave their souls to Allah almighty, God almighty has granted them this victory we are enjoying now."

Shit man, I don't know what to say. That seems to be Osama bin Laden's Number 2 taking claim for the 9/11 attacks.

EDIT:
Here's the BBC for ya:
Al-Qaeda man claims 11 September
The tape showed what appeared to be dead fighters
A recognised spokesman for Osama Bin Laden's militant al-Qaeda network has made the clearest indication yet that it was responsible for the 11 September attacks on America.
God ordered us to terrorize the infidels, and we terrorized the infidels
Sulaiman bu Ghaith
Sulaiman bu Ghaith said that al-Qaeda had managed to hit the United States "right on its doorstep".
He was speaking in an undated recording aired on Wednesday by a Saudi-owned TV network.
The tape also showed what appeared to be al-Qaeda fighters killed in Afghanistan.
The spokesman, who is among Washington's most wanted men, accused the US of "publicly fighting Islam".
Bu Ghaith said the US was "publicly fighting Islam"
"We have managed to attack the head of infidelity, who deliberately and openly declares his hostility to Islam day and night, in his own country," he said.
"God ordered us to terrorise the infidels, and we terrorised the infidels," he added.
The same broadcast - by the Middle East Broadcasting Corporation - showed old statements made by Bin Laden himself welcoming the suicide attacks, which killed about 3,000 people.
Two of Bin Laden's aides, Ayman al-Zawahiri and Mohammed Atef, also appeared in the video.
Atef, who was believed to have been killed in a US air strike on Kabul in November, is seen to say: "Liberating Palestine starts here."
Another tape was broadcast by the Qatari satellite channel al-Jazeera on Monday, in which al-Zawahiri described the attacks as a "great victory".
Al-Jazeera has promised to air the tape in full on Thursday.
