Library of Congress warned in 1999 of 9/11 like attacks

Looks like even the Lirbray of Congress had the warnings:

Al-Qaida’s expected retaliation for the U.S. cruise missile attack against al-
Qaida’s training facilities in Afghanistan on August 20, 1998, could take several forms of terrorist attack in the nation’s capital. Al-Qaida could detonate a Chechen-type building-buster bomb at a federal building. Suicide bomber(s) belonging to al-Qaida’s Martyrdom Battalion could crash-land an aircraft packed with high explosives (C-4 and semtex) into the Pentagon, the headquarters of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), or the White House. Ramzi Yousef had planned to do this against the CIA headquarters. In addition, both al-Qaida and Yousef were linked to a plot to assassinate President Clinton during his visit to the Philippines in early 1995. Following the August 1998 cruise missile attack, at least one Islamic religious leader called for Clinton’s assassination, and another stated that “the time is not far off” for when the White House will be destroyed
by a nuclear bomb. A horrendous scenario consonant with al-Qaida’s mindset would be its use of a nuclear suitcase bomb against any number of targets in the nation’s capital. Bin Laden allegedly has already purchased a number of nuclear suitcase bombs from the Chechen Mafia. Al-Qaida’s retaliation, however, is more likely to take the lower-risk form of bombing one or more U.S. airliners with timebombs. Yousef was planning simultaneous bombings of 11 U.S. airliners prior to his capture. Whatever form an attack may take, bin Laden will most likely retaliate
in a spectacular way for the cruise missile attack against his Afghan camp in August 1998.

I just found this in:
"Sociology and Psychology of Terrorism"
www.loc.gov...

It was published in September 1999.

It also appears to be a great read for any would-be terrorism expert or person interested in a greater understanding of the way things are...

Figures:

A fifth typology, for right-wing terrorists, is not listed because right-wing terrorists were not specifically designated as being a subject of this study. In any case, there does not appear to be any significant right-wing group on the U.S. Department of State’s list of foreign terrorist organizations.

James wood was on a plane with the terrorists (they were casing out the plane) and he told the FBI prior to 9-11 and nothing happened. The actual terrorists, not just a general "al qaeda" operative, the actual terrorists!


I just hope when we get pre-warnings we actually do something about it this time.


actually he told the pilots, which i believe they told the faa, just as good as the fbi. sorry for the mistake.
