The San Francisco Chronicle reported, that Mayor Brown (->) was called eight hours before the attack and warned that "Americans should be cautious in their travel." (I consider this a general warning only since none of the planes involved were on the West Coast).

Walid Arkehs warning: A Florida inmate claimed he warned the FBI last summer that al Qaeda was planning a terror attack on New York - but his words were ignored. "I told them something big was going to happen in New York City," Walid Arkeh, 35, said in an interview with the Orlando Sentinel. In August, he got word to the FBI that he had information on a planned terror attack. But when two FBI agents showed up at the to interview him Aug. 21, he said he would tell what he knew only if he was freed from prison, given asylum in the United States and offered the kind of security granted by the witness-protection program. Arkeh said one of the agents told him, "Is that all you have?" The FBI never returned until the afternoon of September 11, when agents showed up again to speak to him. www.nypost.com/seven/01072002/news/nationalnews/38382.htm 

Twin Towers on high alert: "Over the past few weeks we'd been evacuated a number of times, which is unusual..: ...Ben Fountain, 42, a financial analyst with Fireman's Fund, was coming out of the Chambers Street Station, headed for his office on the 47th floor of the south tower. How could they let this happen? They knew this building was a target. Over the past few weeks we'd been evacuated a number of times, which is unusual. I think they had an inkling something was going on." people.aol.com/people/special/0,11859,174592-5,00.html CounterPunch has learned from two sources that a) three weeks before the attack of September 11 security at the World Trade Center was abruptly heightened and that b) six weeks before the attack a US army base in New Jersey was placed on top security alert. http://www.counterpunch.org/bombsense.html 

John Ashcroft was warned: July 26th, 2001: "In response to inquiries from CBS News over why Ashcroft was traveling exclusively by leased jet aircraft instead of commercial airlines, the Justice Department cited what it called a "threat assessment" by the FBI, and said Ashcroft has been advised to travel only by private jet for the remainder of his term. "There was a threat assessment and there are guidelines. He is acting under the guidelines," an FBI spokesman said. Neither the FBI nor the Justice Department, however, would identify what the threat was, when it was detected or who made it. www.cbsnews.com/now/story/0,1597,303601-412,00.shtml (->Ashcroft, Flying High) 

US Congress Member Dana Rohrabacher (->) tried to warn the US Department and arranged an appointment a few days before September11

The Pentagon was warned on September 10th: On Sept. 10, NEWSWEEK has learned, a group of top Pentagon officials suddenly canceled travel plans for the next morning, apparently because of security concerns. www.msnbc.com/news/629606.asp?0sp=w13b2#BODY 

The idea that authorities had no idea the Pentagon could be a target is laughable, according to information in the Daily Telegraph. "For years, staff at the Pentagon joked that they worked at 'Ground Zero', the spot at which an incoming nuclear missile aimed at America's defenses would explode. There is even a snack bar of that name in the central courtyard of the five-sided building, America's most obvious military bullseye. In October 2000 the Pentagon built a miniature Pentagon and crashed some planes into it.

On September 7, 2001, the State Department issued a "worldwide caution" which said: "American citizens may be the target of a terrorist threat from extremist groups with links to Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda organization." http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2001/09/14/MN92245.DTL

Former US Secretary of State George Schultz said he was "startled" by the State Department's memo. "I have no idea what intelligence lies behind the warning, but they put this out because they had some sort of intelligence," he said. "They had some sort of rumbling of something, even if they didn't pinpoint it in the right direction.... Something was cooking." 

As learned from an interview between FEMA spokesman Tom Kennedy and CBS Dan Rather on Sep12th, 2001, one team from FEMA was apparently in New York on "monday evening", September 10th. whatreallyhappened.com/fematape.html FEMA was able to install in time one of their emergency softwares, a new trial upgrade of Fdonscene, which was installed on September 11th, confirmed by Skip Trudo of NJ Field Communications.

Without any further public notice, however FBIHQ-Officers Dale Watson and Robert J. Chiaradio quit their job in 2002, another CIA-officer Cofer Black quit his job without any further explanation. It has been standard FAA procedure for more than 25 years to scramble U.S. fighters to intercept -- not shoot down -- any errant or non-responsive aircraft under FAA control. At the end of 2002 the US Government still defined September 11th as the result of "incompetence" or "intelligence failure".
