"9/11 report documents credible clues

Hill panel to release findings Wednesday

By Dana Priest
THE WASHINGTON POST

Sept. 18 — The U.S. intelligence community received a surprising number of credible reports of a likely terrorist attack prior to Sept. 11, including some threats to domestic targets, according to a congressional report to be unveiled today.
























THE PRELIMINARY findings of the staff of the Senate-House intelligence panel investigating the Sept. 11 strikes also show that some intelligence analysts had focused on the possibility that terrorists might use “airplanes as weapons” in the attacks, a congressional official said yesterday.

‘SERIOUS QUESTIONS’
National security adviser Condoleezza Rice said in mid-May that prior to the attacks, analysts did not seriously consider the use of planes as bombs and therefore were surprised by the method of attack on Sept. 11. “All this reporting about hijacking was about traditional hijacking, ” Rice said at a May briefing on what President Bush knew before the attacks.











The 30-page unclassified report also will “raise serious questions” about whether the U.S. government shared enough information with the public about what it knew to be a grave threat from Osama bin Laden and his al Qaeda terrorist network, the official said.
After reading and analyzing hundreds of thousands of pages of documents from the CIA, the National Security Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency and other government agencies, “you start thinking: Did anyone really explain to the public how serious this stuff was? . . . Did the American people really realize the strength of the threat out there?”
