Report: Bin Laden Warned CIA About Attacks

WASHINGTON (DPI) - The controversy surrounding the U.S. intelligence community flared up again today, as sources revealed that Osama bin Laden, working as a CIA spy, forewarned the CIA about Sept. 11.

CIA Director George Tenet said, "In February of 1999, bin Laden, working as a CIA informant inside of al-Qaeda, informed the Agency of al-Qaeda's plans to hijack passenger planes in Boston and New York on September 11, 2001, and to crash them into the World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon, and The White House. Sometime between 8:30 - 9:00 am, EST."

When asked why the CIA failed to take appropriate action with the information in order to prevent the tragedy, Tenet replied that the information was "too vague to be useful. For example, we weren't sure if 'New York' meant 'New York City' or 'New York State.' If he meant 'New York State,' the attack could have been launched from thousands of places, like Oswego, Peekskill, or Salamanca. There was simply no way we could have secured the entire state."
