Bin Laden planned and supervised the attack that killed 23 people outside the base during Cheney's visit, said Mullah Dadullah, the Taliban's main military commander in southern Afghanistan who has had close associations with al-Qaida.
"You may remember the martyr operation inside the Bagram base, which targeted a senior U.S. official. ... That operation was the result of his wise planning. He (bin Laden) planned that operation and guided us through it. The operation was a success," Dadullah told Al-Jazeera.
He did not say how he knew that bin Laden planned the attack, and it was not immediately clear when the interview took place.

He didn't say how he planned the attack... I'd be curious how he knew Cheney was there, since it wasn't announced--I mean, unless bin Laden was in a car out front, this is ridiculous. I thought his trip was kind of a spur of the moment thing, and it was pretty much accepted that it was coincidence that he happened to be there at the time... I guess my point is, I think that Mullah Dadullah (couldn't make that name up) is full of crap.
Of course, these guys would never lie, right?
