On the contrary, the reason the Taliban were reported as giving for refusing to hand him over was that they'd been presented with no proof.

:I can't give you references immediately, although check the [[al-Qaeda]] article. To some extent, the Taliban argument was based on [[pashtunwali]]. Alternatively, the Taliban did not effectively participate in diplomatic processes, were recognized by only three nations (one revoked after 9/11). There was much more evidence than videos, and, to start with, the 1998 declaration of war by A-Q.

Thoughts on structure
