Too bad you got suckered by that one!

I myself heard the interview: the name of the terrorist was Abou Nidal, not Osama ben Ladin.

Osama was not in the US spotlight yet at that time.

The story about Oliver North is partially true:

snopes.com

He claimed that threats against his life had been made by terrorist Abu Nidal, telling a congressional committee:

"I want you to know that I'd be more than willing ... to meet
Abu Nidal on equal terms anywhere in the world. There's an even deal for him. OK? But I am not willing to have my wife and my four children meet Abu Nidal or his organization on his terms. "
