FBI & 9/11
Editorial/Op-Ed

by Sibel Edmonds

ALEXANDRIA, VA -- (OfficialWire) -- 06/20/05 -- Over four years ago, more than four months prior to the September 11 terrorist attacks, during April 2001, a long-term FBI informant/asset who had been providing the bureau with information since 1990, provided two FBI agents and a translator with specific information regarding a terrorist attack being planned by Osama Bin Laden.

This asset/informant was previously a high-level intelligence officer in Iran in charge of intelligence from Afghanistan. Through his contacts in Afghanistan he received information that:

1. Osama Bin Laden was planning a major terrorist attack in the United States targeting 4-5 major cities;

2. The attack was going to involve airplanes;

3. Some of the individuals in charge of carrying out this attack were already in place in the United States;

4. The attack was going to be carried out soon, in a few months.


The agents who received this information reported it to their superior, Special Agent in Charge of Counterterrorism, Thomas Frields, at the FBI Washington Field Office, by filing “302” forms, and the translator, Mr. Behrooz Sarshar, translated and documented this information. No action was taken by the Special Agent in Charge, Thomas Frields, and after 9/11 the agents and the translators were told to ‘keep quiet’ regarding this issue. The translator who was present during the session with the FBI informant, Mr. Behrooz Sarshar, reported this incident to Director Mueller in writing, and later to the Department of Justice Inspector General.

The press reported this incident, and in fact the report in the Chicago Tribune on July 21, 2004 stated that FBI officials had confirmed that this information was received in April 2001, and further, the Chicago Tribune quoted an aide to Director Mueller that he (Mueller) was surprised that the Commission never raised this particular issue with him during the hearing (Refer to Chicago Tribune article, dated July 21, 2004).

3. she asks - Why the 9/11 Commission intentionally omitted this info;???

.....Today, after nearly four years since 9/11, the American people still do not know that thousands of lives can be jeopardized under the unspoken policy of ‘protecting certain foreign business relations.’ The victims family members still do not realize that information and answers they have sought relentlessly for almost 4 years has been blocked due to the unspoken decisions made and disguised under ‘safeguarding certain diplomatic relations.’

Where is the so-called congressional oversight? Why the 9/11 Commission intentionally omitted this info; although they’ve had it all along? Where is accountability?

5. Is this protection of diplomatic relations the reason we haven't caught

Osama? It sounds like what Goss is saying in the article below.

Goss responded: "I have an excellent idea where he is." Referring to Bin Laden

I noticed the article shown on Yahoo used to have the title Goss Claims He Has Excellent Idea where Bin Laden is" (Reuters)

Now it's changed to "Goss Claims He Has Idea Where Bin Laden Is" (AP)

Important difference, yes?
