Troubling Insights into ISI Involvement in 9/11 Planning

Hi Scott,

Here's a very well researched and extensive article on the involvement of government secret services in the planning and execution of the 9/11 attacks. Chilling.

cooperativeresearch.org

Here's an important segment:

Yet this explosive story was not mentioned at all in the US, outside of one short piece in the Wall Street Journal, which said, "The US authorities ... confirm[ed] the fact that $100,000 were wired to WTC hijacker Mohammed Atta from Pakistan by Ahmad Umar Sheikh at the instance of General Mahmud." [Wall Street Journal, 10/10/01]

Why the silence on such an important story? No doubt the implications were too disturbing. If General Ahmad ordered Saeed to give money to Atta, then what other conclusion can be drawn than that the Pakistani ISI had helped plan and fund the September 11 attacks on the US? Pakistan is still one of the US's closest allies and in October 2001 their support was vitally needed to conduct the war against Afghanistan. Who knows what the political fallout would have been had the US blamed Pakistan for terrorism at that time. But the Saeed connection was hardly the only evidence that Pakistan was assisting bin Laden and knew about the attacks. What's even worse is that some of this evidence opened the possibility that people in the US government knew as well.
