CIA declassifies intel warnings to White House prior to 9/11 attack

  • On Friday, the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the CIA released 71 declassified documents detailing intelligence gathered on Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida leading up to the hijackings that killed nearly 3,000 people.
  • Spanning from 1998 to 2001, the documents include a file regarding 'Terrorists seeking WMD capability' and reports illustrating how al-Qaida's 'flexible operational decision making' enabled the group to adjust plans to changing conditions.
  • Proclaiming 'an act of exceptional transparency,' CIA Director John Ratcliffe described the files as the agency's single largest release of declassified presidential daily briefs provided to the nation's most senior leaders.
  • Breaking with tradition during the commemorations, 9/11 widow Terry Strada urged President Donald Trump to hold Saudi Arabia accountable, stating 'Tell the Saudis to stop lying' about their alleged involvement.
  • Strada argues the 'Operation Encore' lawsuit reveals critical evidence the FBI held within days of the attacks was never properly shared with the 9/11 Commission, though the Saudis deny complicity and are fighting the lawsuit in court.
