September 11 Commission Report - Gnostic Liberation Front

The information that identifies CIA/FBI involvement with the actual World Trade Center
terrorists in the months prior to 9/11 is far too compelling to ignore.
• Government officials from Russia, Israel and Germany have publicly stated they
shared specific information and warnings with the CIA. (The CIA has denied this.)
• The CIA/FBI has had known operatives working in Norman, Oklahoma.
"As early as 1996 the FBI began investigating the activities of Arab students at US flight schools.
Government officials admitted that “law enforcement officials were aware that fewer than a dozen
people with links to bin Laden had attended US flight schools.” FBI agents visited two flight
schools in 1996 to get information about several Arab pilots who received training there. The two
schools were among those attended by Abdul Hakim Murad, who had told Philippine and US
police about plans to fly a hijacked plane into CIA headquarters. In 1998 FBI agents questioned
officials from Airman Flight School in Norman, Oklahoma about a graduate identified in court
testimony as a pilot for Osamabin Laden. This was the school later attended by Zacarias
Moussaoui. A Washington Post article concludes: “Since 1996, the FBI had been developing
evidence that international terrorists were using US flight schools to learn to fly jumbo jets. A
foiled plot in Manila to blow up U.S. airliners and later court testimony by an associate of bin
Laden had touched off FBI inquiries at several schools, officials say.” [Washington Post,

"Beginning in early 2001 a trial was held in New York City of four defendants charged with
involvement in the 1998 bombings of US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. The trial revealed
that two bin Laden operatives had received pilot training in Texas and Oklahoma and another had
been asked to take lessons. L’Houssaine Kherchtou, a bin Laden associate turned government
witness, told the court how he was asked to take flying lessons in 1993. Another bin Laden aide,
Essam al-Ridi, testified that he had bought a military aircraft for bin Laden and flown it to Sudan.
Al-Ridi became a government witness in 1998, giving the FBI inside information about a pilottraining
scheme three years before the September 11 attack. While the proceedings of the trial
extended from February to July 2001, they did not produce any heightened alert in relation to US
commercial aviation." [Court transcript available at www.cryptome.org[
"(David) Edger "arrived on the OU (Oklahoma University) campus in August 2001 to begin his
duties as a visiting professor in the political science department. Up until that month he had
responsibility for surveillance of the Al Qaeda cell in Germany, whose membership included
Ramzi bin Al-Shibh, paymaster for the Al Qaeda organization, and Mohammed Atta, a hijacker on
one of the airliners which crashed into the World Trade Center (WTC). Edger was described by
The Norman Transcript as an "expert in intelligence collection, counterintelligence investigations,
and political action”. The newspaper also reports that he has directed espionage and counterespionage
activities. Edger was in Chile in 1973 when the CIA was overthrowing the Allende
government." [Current Results about possible connections between Thomas Volz (CIA) and David

• There are FBI agents that have been trying to expose as false the US government
claims that it was not aware of the details of the terrorist threat.
"David Schippers, the well-respected veteran D. C. lawyer (he served as lead prosecutor for the
Clinton impeachment and is admired for his decades of effort fighting organized crime), has gone
public with an announcement that he is representing three FBI agents who had evidence of the
9/11 attacks months beforehand and were ready to arrest the suspects, but were blocked by their
superiors and taken off the case. Schippers had been in contact with these FBI agents since before
the attacks (owing to ongoing investigations he had been making into the 1995 Oklahoma City
bombing) and for several months before 9/11 attempted personally to present information about
