I can see, rereading my post, that I didn't really explain why I made that statement!

bin Laden may be a terrorist, but he's not dumb. The Internet (and email) is not secure. If I were him, and I'm glad I'm not, I wouldn't use any form of communication which I couldn't ultimately control.

Assuming bin Laden is behind the attacks, I would suggest that the immediate leader of the group who carried them out, he who had the go/no go say-so and day-to-day control, was resident in the US at the time. And may, for all I know, still be! The phone is more likely to have been the main means of communication between the various groups.
