U.S. Intelligence Had Clues About Attack by al-Qaeda

Melanie Hunter, CNSNews.com
Wednesday, June 5, 2002

U.S. intelligence-gatherers knew that al-Qaeda was planning a major attack before Sept. 11, according to documents turned over to Congress by the CIA.

USA Today reported Tuesday that those 350,000 pages of documents show U.S. intelligence intercepted al-Qaeda communications and even had agents infiltrate the group. Even so, they did not find out when and where the strike might happen.

According to USA Today, U.S. intelligence officials analyzed electronic intercepts, paraphrasing the messages with remarks such as, "Watch the news," "Something big is happening" and "Tomorrow will be a great day for us."

The newspaper, citing unnamed U.S. officials, said some of those "clues" were translated before Sept. 11, and others weren't analyzed until after Sept. 11 because of a shortage of translators.

The intelligence documents are a key element of the joint congressional hearing that gets under way today.
