Terrorist Says 9/11 Plot Began in '96
 

Mastermind Reveals bin Laden Revised Several Plans
By JOHN SOLOMON, AP

WASHINGTON (Sept. 21) - Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, has told American interrogators that he first discussed the plot with Osama bin Laden in 1996 and that the original plan called for hijacking five commercial jets on each U.S. coast before it was modified several times, according to interrogation reports reviewed by The Associated Press.

Mohammed also divulged that, in its final stages, the hijacking plan called for as many as 22 terrorists and four planes in a first wave, followed by a second wave of suicide hijackings that were to be aided possibly by al-Qaida allies in southeast Asia, according to the reports.

Over time, bin Laden scrapped various parts of the Sept. 11 plan, including attacks on both coasts and hijacking or bombing some planes in East Asia, Mohammed is quoted as saying in reports that shed new light on the origins and evolution of the plot of Sept. 11, 2001.

Addressing one of the questions raised by congressional investigators in their Sept. 11 review, Mohammed said he never heard of a Saudi man named Omar al-Bayoumi who provided some rent money and assistance to two hijackers when they arrived in California.

Congressional investigators have suggested Bayoumi could have aided the hijackers or been a Saudi intelligence agent, charges the Saudi government vehemently deny. The FBI has also cast doubt on the congressional theory after extensive investigation and several interviews with al-Bayoumi.

In fact, Mohammed claims he did not arrange for anyone on U.S. soil to assist hijackers Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi when they arrived in California. Mohammed said there ''were no al-Qaida operatives or facilitators in the United States to help al-Mihdhar or al-Hazmi settle in the United States,'' one of the reports state.

Al-Mihdhar and al-Hazmi were on the plane that was flown into the Pentagon.

Mohammed portrays those two hijackers as central to the plot, and even more important than Mohammed Atta, initially identified by Americans as the likely hijacking ringleader. Mohammed said he communicated with al-Hazmi and al-Mihdhar while they were in the United States by using Internet chat software, the reports states.

Mohammed said al-Hazmi and al-Mihdhar were among the four original operatives bin Laden assigned to him for the plot, a significant revelation because those were the only two hijackers whom U.S. authorities were frantically seeking for terrorist ties in the final days before Sept. 11.

U.S. authorities continue to investigate the many statements that Mohammed has made in interrogations, seeking to eliminate deliberate misinformation. But they have been able to corroborate with other captives and evidence much of his account of the Sept. 11 planning.

Mohammed told his interrogators the hijacking teams were originally made up of members from different countries where al-Qaida had recruited, but that in the final stages bin Laden chose instead to use a large group of young Saudi men to populate the hijacking teams.

As the plot came closer to fruition, Mohammed learned ''there was a large group of Saudi operatives that would be available to participate as the muscle in the plot to hijack planes in the United States,'' one report says Mohammed told his captors.

Saudi Arabia was bin Laden's home, though it revoked his citizenship in the 1990s, and he reviled its alliance with the United States during the Gulf War and beyond. Saudis have suggested for months that bin Laden has been trying to drive a wedge between the United States and their kingdom, hoping to fracture the alliance.

U.S. intelligence has suggested that Saudis were chosen, instead, because there were large numbers willing to follow bin Laden and they could more easily get into the United States because of the countries' friendly relations.

So the bottom line is Republicans demanded millions of dollars and govt resources focus on a blowjob, meanwhile Bin Laden was making plans to attack the country....you must be very proud of yourself.

it's odd i was actually just thinking about this like 15 minutes ago. it took them a long time to plan that attack. how hard would it be to follow that up with another succesfull attack? i'm not sure it's likely....

Or you can blame Clinton who was our leader in 96 for not paying attention to what was going on, while he instead had affairs in the Oval office, had democratic party fund raisers paid for by tax payers and lied to us, while he lived the good life, at our expense.

Democrats view Republicans as party poopers. Sorry if we are actually concerned about serious issues and not just about causing trashy scandals.

With democrats in power we're not secure from terrorist attacks, with republicans in power our economy is doomed. It's a lose/lose situation. That's how the world works today.

I like blowjobs

:eek7

Or you can blame Bush for spending 43% of his time as president on vacation up until 9/11

*cough* REHAB *cough*

:1orglaugh

ROCK ON GIRLFRIEND!!!!!!:thumbsup

really everyone in politics shares the blame for this. if intelligence agencies had been networking properly and people were paying attention to the right things it could have been stopped. fuck blaming it all on a single man. there are many intelligence entities in this country that should have known something. so blame it on red tape and laziness.

So you now this for a fact?????? I think not. But whatever makes you feel better.:1orglaugh

Better than 43% of his time in the whitehouse doing who KNOWs what with women the same age as his daughter.

Vacations to a President are different than what others might define as a vacation. Presidents still work and network with others while they are on "vacation". While one would assume he's sunbathing by a pool, he probably spends the majority of that time meeting with people and entertaining much needed diplomats or other important figures, which is what Presidents do.

Yepo :1orglaugh

Jealous?

:thumbsup That is exactly what he does. I am behind George all the way.

his domestic policy frightens me. a little too much of a big brother aspect.

Will you and furiously stupid bitch still be behind him when he pinches Lensman and company in the coming round of obscenity busts?

Leave it to a couple ignorant bitches to support a man who wants to destroy their industry.

Less cock, more books.

here's a shot from guantamo bay

:winkwink:

Labret?

Actually, I am HAPPY with my GF - who will also be my WIFE - and who will never leave me wishing I could get something from younger women. I have better things to think about than sex and blowjobs. Like... working maybe?

Obviously Hilarry was too busy doing Clinton`s work and couldn`t give him what he needed.

WOW!!!! You have no clue who I am but yet you assume I fuck a lot and do not read books. :1orglaugh You're really fucking intelligent. :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh

Yeah, and he seems to be on the side of the feminazi`s that actually DO what he accused you of doing.

Sad.

You are someone that actually reads and comes up with fact backed opinions.

They act on emotion and rumours.

Answer the question you stupid bitch.

How deep does your dedication run genius?

Will you testify against Lensman if your government asks you to?

Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!! :1orglaugh

Since you appear to be a stupid bitch as well, I ask you the same question.

Since you love to suck the Bush cock, will you fly your flag during the obscenity persecutions?

Ann Coulter?http://www.cafeshops.com/thewhitehou...?zoom=yes#zoom

Why did Lensman do something wrong???? I think not. He runs his business well. I am for what is right not who I like or do not like. Your a little emotional guy aren't you........:1orglaugh

Furiously ignorant bitch is uncharacteristically quiet. I would love to hear her rationalize this.

I am reading her new book now. :thumbsup

You're fun.....

If Osama and his gang were unique in this world i would agree.

Make sure you point that out for Ashcr0ft during the trial.

I am glad the justice system functions off your opinion of what is legal and what is not. No wonder you make minimum wage flashing your stink hole on camera.

well he's an admitted/'reformed' coke head/Alcoholic,his pops is/'was' an Alcoholic...so i'm pretty close:winkwink: and you know this for a fact..oh yeah you have his itinerary so you know for sure where he was on vaca...my guess is good as yours..this is not a c(*a)nn forum so please don't get your panties in a bunch

I'll fly that flag right up your ass................:1orglaugh

Water seeks its own level.

To reiterate, they are going after extreme pornography, like beastiality etc. These obscenity laws are already in place, before Bush and could have already been used against us. If a district attorney in my area, wants to bring up charges against me for what they perceive as obscene, they will also need to get a jury that agrees that it is obscene. Some juries might think a woman in a bikini is obscene... there's nothing we can do about that now or 5 years ago. This is nothing new.

They are not targetting mainstream porn yet, they will have a hard enough time with what they already want to enforce. Mainstream pornography will always survive and if they crack down on some things, oh well... I think charges should be brought up on a lot of disgusting things. And by weeding out the crooks and criminals in this industry, it will benefit everyone.

Like I have said before, if you believe the internet will go on forever and ever without any type of policing, you are in denial. It's all about adapting to changes. The strong will survive.

Delusional.

republican pornographers.

Now I await the obligatory "you go girl" from the other idiot.

Says the Andy Coulter wannabe porn spammer.

some ppl are really clueless to what 'they' will try to do:(

look at poor Chong, different biz but damn is was just glass

Ann Coulter would spit in these idiots faces. These two idiots embody everything she hates.

I am not angry at all. This is fun. Everyone has his or her own beliefs. I do not look down on anyone because they have different beliefs.

And he is not a reformed cokehead. Please believe, you show me one FACT on that and I will believe you. (Not somebody saying it I mean proof) I do not care about what someone has done in their past. It's what they do now that I take into consideration.

As far as his vacations, I have seen and heard about the different leaders from all over the world coming to his ranch. He is the President of the United States he is well publicized.

I always feel like the president when i'm getting a blowjob

Oh so you have read an Ann Coulter book and you are still fucking clueless......:1orglaugh

You have no clue who I am or what I do. But I find enjoyment in listening to you act like you do.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I don't give a fuck what Ann Coulter or any one person thinks of me or anyone else. I'm sure there's many things about her that I would hate as well. I don't base my opinions on what the majority thinks or what one person would like me to believe, I take what I agree with and form my own opinions and beliefs. I don't take rumors and misinformation and twist them into paranoia induced rants.

You chose this thread to make your first post in. You don't even have the balls to post as your true identity. Typical flaming idiot, going along with what is trendy. You sound awfully worried, what are you guilty of? Afraid you are breaking the laws so badly, that you could be doing 25 to life being Bubba's new bitch?

Surely the woman who was fired from the National Review (a conservative publication) for being too right wing, is gonna sit around and embrace a washed up piece of content relegated to doing customer service for a porn company.

Its all the rage on the far far right.

God damn you are dumb as a stump arent you.
