administration a couple of months prior to the attack that terrorists were planning on
using planes to attack significant national institutions.
"Israeli intelligence officials say that they warned their counterparts in the United States last month
that large-scale terrorist attacks on highly visible targets on the American mainland were imminent.
The Telegraph has learnt that two senior experts with Mossad, the Israeli military intelligence service,
were sent to Washington in August to alert the CIA and FBI to the existence of a cell of as many of
200 terrorists said to be preparing a big operation...."[Israeli security issued urgent warning to CIA of
large-scale terror attacks, Daily Telegraph, 11/19/2001]
"…The Mossad, Israel's feared secret service, gave the US an urgent warning, according to recent
reports from Germany. These reports say that on August 23, 2001, the Mossad gave the CIA a list of
terrorists living in the US and said that they appeared to be planning to carry out an attack in the near
future. Apparently this warning and list were not treated as particularly urgent by the CIA and also not
passed on to the FBI." [Deer Spiegel, 10/1/02]
"August 23, 2001: According to German newspapers, the Mossad gave the CIA a list of 19 terrorists
living in the US and said that it appeared that they were planning to carry out an attack in the near
future. It is unknown if these are the same exact 19 names as the actual hijackers or if the number is a
coincidence. However, at least four names did refer to actual 9/11 hijackers: Napa Alhazmi, Khalid
Almihdhar, Marwan Alshehhi, and Mohamed Atta." [Die Zeit, 10/1/02, Der Spiegel, 10/1/02, BBC,

"As late as August 24, less than two weeks before the attacks, a Mossad warning, confirmed by
German intelligence, BND, said that 'terrorists plan to hijack commercial aircraft to use as weapons to
attack important symbols of American and Israeli culture." [Globe-Intel. Number 104, 21/05/02]
"On Monday 6, August, 2001, at 17:50, Ambassador Ischinger personally notified the President of the
United States that information developed by the Bundesamt fur Verfassungsschutz as well as the
BND indicated that an attack by a radical Arab group partially based in Germany was to occur on 10-
11 September, 2001." The information was "gratefully received" by the US President who stated at the
time that he was also aware of the same pending assaults. Subsequent to these attacks, the office of the
US President, through the US Department of State, made an urgent request to the government of the
Federal Republic of Germany that no reference whatsoever should be made to the official warnings
given by Ambassador Ischinger." [Translation of BND Report on September 11, 2001]
"... According to our intelligence agents among terrorists there were at least two Uzbeks, natives of
Fergana who arrived in the USA on forged documents about ten months ago.... The organization of the
International Terrorist, according to Russian Intelligence Service agents had been planning an
operation against the USA more than a year and a half." [Russia Warned US of Impending 9-11
Attacks, Izvestia (Russian Newspaper), 11/12/2001]

“There was a story that ran on the front page of The London Telegraph, The Jerusalem Post, BBC.com
and several other news websites on the morning of Sept 12, 2001 that said George Tenet had received
a detailed warning of the attack 12 days before from the head of MI-6 on a special line that was only
used for fully vetted, verified info that was urgent and impending, requiring immediate action.”
If there is any thought that the official explanation for 9/11 makes this type of
information moot, that thought should be reconsidered. The 9/11 Commission Report
attempts to gloss over reports from other intelligence agencies, and contends that there
