I was at a friend’s house the morning of September 11, 2001, the day terrorists flew commercial airplanes into the Twin Towers in New York. As all Americans, I was taken aback as these monumental Towers crumbled before my eyes. My first thoughts were, ‘How were terrorists able to adeptly accomplish a horrendous surprise attack of this nature on American soil, murdering 3,000 innocent lives? America’s counterterrorism intelligence agencies are the best in the world. How is it possible that they were blindsided and not able to prevent nineteen foreigners on a terrorists watch list from commandeering commercial airplanes?’
For the last seven years, the Bush Administration has said that neither the FBI nor the CIA knew before hand that such an attack was imminent. As far as the FBI Counterterrorism was concerned, the attack on the Twin Towers was a complete surprise. There was no evidence before 9-11 that Osama Bin Laden supporters were coordinating an attack on this level. However, as this report will reveal, the FBI was well aware in advance of 9-11 that terrorists attending civil aviation training were preparing to commandeer commercial airliners.
On 04/17/2000, the FBI Phoenix office conducted a “Full Field Investigation”. The purpose of the investigation was the possibility of a coordinated effort by Osama Bin Laden to send students to the United States to attend civil aviation universities and colleges.
The report says, “Phoenix has observed an inordinate number of individuals of investigative interest: who are attending or who have attended civil aviation universities and colleges in the State of Arizona. The inordinate number of these individuals attending these types of schools gives reason to believe that a coordinated effort is underway to establish a cadre of individuals who will one day be working in the civil aviation community around the world. These individuals will be in a position in the future to conduct terror activity against civil aviation targets.”
The report goes on to name a Saudi Arabian National and two Algerian Islamic extremists on a terrorists watch list attending civil aviation schools in Arizona. A reliable confidential informant (RCI) provided information that Zakaria Mustapha Soubra was a supporter of Osama Bin Laden, and that he arrived in Arizona from London on August of 1999 on an F-1 student visa to attend Emery Riddle University in Prescott. Emery only teaches courses related to the field of aviation.
The report continues to say, that within weeks of his arrival to Arizona, Soubra organized anti United States and Israel demonstrations on and around the campus of Arizona State University. He also established and organized an Islamic student association on Emery campus. Further the university provided the FBI information on several Sunni Muslim associates of Soubra who arrived at the university around the same time of Soubra, with the same radical fundamentalist’s views. According to the FBI they came from Kenya, Pakistan, United Arab Emirates, India, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan.
Soubra and his associates are members of Fatwa which has proclaimed jihad against the U.S. and British government. Soubra was interviewed by the FBI at his residence on 04/07/200 and 05/11/2000. Soubra stated that he considers the US government and US military forces in the Gulf as illegitimate military targets of Islam. He also stated the targeting of the US Embassies in Africa was legitimate.
The FBI report says that Soubra was defiant and a hardcore Islamic extremists with ties to Osama Bin Laden who views the US as an enemy of Islam. The FBI reported that it is more than a coincidence that Soubra and his associates who are supporters of Osama Bin Laden are attending flight school.
Two months before 9-11, the FBI Phoenix office provided the above information to its New York Bureau, and advised them of a potential terrorist attack using commercial airliners. What did the FBI do with this information? Not a damn thing. They took no action at all. They went about their merry way as if to say, terrorists training to fly commercial airliners are no big deal. Here we have Osama Bin Laden supporters on a terrorists watch list threatening jihad on US soil, and the FBI does nothing in the way of preventing a foreseeable attack.
Through complete ignorance and stupidity, the FBI failed to arrest these terrorists, or even deport them. Talk about the ‘Spirit of Dumb’, the FBI’s plan of action was to continue a future investigation. While these Fumbling, Bumbling, Idiots (FBI) sat on their laurels twiddling their thumbs, Osama Bin Laden orchestrated the largest domestic attack on American soil, it is equally true the FBI is guilty of willfully allowing the mass murder of 3,000 innocent men, women and children by its do nothing policy. Surely the FBI moniker is Fumbling, Bumbling, and Idiots.
