Friday, December 07, 2001 Kislev 22, 5762 Israel Time: 16:51 (GMT+2) Last update - 15:31 07/12/2001 Mubarak says he warned U.S. of an attack before Sept. 11 By The Associated Press BEIRUT - In an interview published Friday by the left-wing Lebanese newspaper As-Safir, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak says he warned the United States that something would happen 12 days before the September 11 terror attacks on New York and Washington. Mubarak did not reveal how he learned in late August of a possible terrorist attack against the United States. He said he was taken aback by the scale of the Sept. 11 attacks. "We expected that something was going to happen and informed the Americans. We told them," Mubarak said. He did not mention a U.S. response. "But nobody expected the event would be of such enormity. We did not know that they would hit this target or that, and we were all surprised when planes with passengers on board hit the (World Trade Center's) twin towers," Mubarak said. "The result was that the world economy was disrupted. Tourism and civil aviation were severely affected in Egypt, Europe and throughout the world," he added. Mubarak said there was no comparison between the U.S.-led coalition against Iraq in the Gulf War of 1991 and the current U.S.-led campaign to destroy Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida group and their Taliban allies in Afghanistan. "In the Gulf War there was a person (Iraqi President Saddam Hussein) who occupied a country (Kuwait), and the war was launched to put an end to the aggression and send him back behind his borders. The war in Afghanistan is against terrorism in a land that listens to nobody, that contains people of all kinds and races, and is uncontrollable," he said.
