Presidents Knew Bin Laden Planned Hijackings | Wilmington News

Newly released documents reveal that U.S. intelligence had multiple warnings about al-Qaeda’s plans to hijack commercial jets — including a practice run at a New York airport — years before 9/11. Briefings from 1998 showed bin Laden was actively considering attacks on U.S. soil, targeting imprisoned extremists and building a domestic support network across states like New York, California, and Texas. Intelligence continued into 2001, with August briefings noting FBI findings of surveillance and U.S. citizens linked to al-Qaeda. These revelations aim to honor victims and those who sacrificed in the war on terror, shedding light on what was known — and not acted upon — before the deadliest day in American history.
