There are over 100 pages of documents that were released and they are part of the presidential daily brief seen by Clinton and Bush from February 1998 through September 2001.
Though the documents are redacted, what they show is that US intelligence knew that the threat of turning American passenger planes into bombs was a possibility. In 1998, Osama bin Ladin, the mastermind of the attacks, had called for a terror strike on America, documents show.
“Reporting suggests Bin Ladin and his allies are preparing for attacks in the US, including an aircraft hijacking to obtain the release of Shaykh ‘Umar’ Abd al-Rahman, Ramzi Yousef, and Muhammad Sadiq Awda. One source quoted a senior member of the Gama’at al-Islamiyya (IG) saying that as of late October, the IG has completed planning for an operation in the US on behalf of Bin Ladin but that the operation was on hold. A senior Bin Ladin operative from Saudi Arabia was to visit IG counterparts in the US soon thereafter to discuss options—perhaps including an aircraft hijacking.”
Long suspected, and now we know. Still think Biden was the worst president of this country? Pretty damn close tie with George W. Bush, methinks.
