From 911Encyclopedia:

On July 14, 2000, french daily newspaper Le Figaro reported, that Osama bin Laden had met with "a high level CIA official (Larry Mitchell) in a Dubai hospital (->American Hospital) . The newspaper stated: "the meeting was held in bin Laden's private suite in the hospital." The report was originally based on a radio report by France International 1 and later picked up by http://frenchintelligence.com. In the same month, when it was claimed that the CIA met Bin Laden, another terrorist was arrested in the same town. This was Djamel Beghal, just returned from Paris, he was heading for London, where he was to emerge as a key figure in recruiting young Muslims for the so called Jihad. Bin Laden was very often in Dubai between 1996-1998. He had not only a bank account there, but drove his own Mercedes.
