Washington, September 12: “The CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency knew about 9/11 from about April and May of 2001. I discovered [it] when my CIA handler instructed me to threaten my contacts at the Iraqi embassy with war in the event that 9/11 happened and the Iraqi failed to provide actionable intelligence to us that would help us thwart it,” said Susan Lindauer, a former intelligence analyst and a 9/11 whistleblower.
Lindauer noted on Sunday that Baghdad insisted it had nothing to offer to the US government, adding, “Iraq was looking for peace and if they had had any intelligence on the 9/11 conspiracy they were fully aware that they needed to hand it over and they would have wanted to do that.”
The author of Extreme Prejudice: The Terrifying Story of the Patriot Act and the Cover Ups of 9/11 and Iraq went on to reveal that she was warned in August 2001 to stay away from New York because the “attacks were considered imminent.”
According to the US official accounts of the incident, 19 alleged al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners and crashed two of them into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, killing everyone on board and many others working in the buildings.
The hijackers, the story reads on, crashed a third airliner into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, just outside Washington D.C.
