FBI & 9/11
Editorial/Op-Ed

by Sibel Edmonds

ALEXANDRIA, VA -- (OfficialWire) -- 06/20/05 -- Over four years ago, more than four months prior to the September 11 terrorist attacks, during April 2001, a long-term FBI informant/asset who had been providing the bureau with information since 1990, provided two FBI agents and a translator with specific information regarding a terrorist attack being planned by Osama Bin Laden.

This asset/informant was previously a high-level intelligence officer in Iran in charge of intelligence from Afghanistan. Through his contacts in Afghanistan he received information that:

1. Osama Bin Laden was planning a major terrorist attack in the United States targeting 4-5 major cities;

2. The attack was going to involve airplanes;

3. Some of the individuals in charge of carrying out this attack were already in place in the United States;

4. The attack was going to be carried out soon, in a few months.


The agents who received this information reported it to their superior, Special Agent in Charge of Counterterrorism, Thomas Frields, at the FBI Washington Field Office, by filing “302” forms, and the translator, Mr. Behrooz Sarshar, translated and documented this information. No action was taken by the Special Agent in Charge, Thomas Frields, and after 9/11 the agents and the translators were told to ‘keep quiet’ regarding this issue. The translator who was present during the session with the FBI informant, Mr. Behrooz Sarshar, reported this incident to Director Mueller in writing, and later to the Department of Justice Inspector General.

The press reported this incident, and in fact the report in the Chicago Tribune on July 21, 2004 stated that FBI officials had confirmed that this information was received in April 2001, and further, the Chicago Tribune quoted an aide to Director Mueller that he (Mueller) was surprised that the Commission never raised this particular issue with him during the hearing (Refer to Chicago Tribune article, dated July 21, 2004).

8. Divide and conquer
Postulation: if you could get the people who would be doing the investigations diverging in different directions by planting a few pieces of cherry-plum evidence it would much easy to carry out the nefarious operations. There seems to be a history of this type of work going on trough much of the covert operations carried out through the years in other countries.

With what happened on 9/11 it seems it would only take a few to get that part of the operation going. There is ample evidence to show that the buildings were imploded AFTER "the planes" hit the towers. Thus the need for a few extra twists in the operation to blow people off course in the investigation. Coupled with a complicit corporate media being hand fed by the feds making the facade of an attack and the real culprits off the hook Scot free.

Who was going to investigate anyway, a Senate chamber that was frightened to death because they were being threatened with Anthrax. The object of the position is that it would only take a few in the total in the know and the rest was compartmentalized so no buddy else had the full picture

Questions the Media Won't Address

It is entirely possible the conspiracy was set up to make the smoke screen. Either group that knew anything would be scared of each other and anybody in general that was looking for evidence, after all only a few that were needed to be in the know and one of the biggest crimes of all time, who is going to cop to that?

9. Why did our Government stop investigating the Anthrax Attack,
In which the Anthrax used came from our own Government?

Also, why did our Government not investigate who impersonated a Federal Officer in Ohio during the 2004 Presidential Election, which locked out and prevented any oversight for a transparent election?

Why doesn't our Government care about this felonious activity?

The FBI Cover-up of the Anthrax Investigation

Jeremy R. Hammond

June 4, 2003



In the weeks following the September 11, 2001 attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Center, a series of letters containing a powder form of the anthrax virus were mailed to various individuals. One such letter, postmarked on the 18th, was mailed to Tom Brokaw at NBC. Another was addressed to the editor of the New York Post. On October 9, similar letters were mailed to Senators Tom Daschle and Patrick Leahy.



The anthrax in the letters was identified as being of the "Ames" strain. At least five labs were reported to have the Ames strain, all of which received their samples from the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Disease (USAMRIID) at Fort Detrick, Maryland. <1> The Washington Post reported that

The particles in those letters were extremely small and the formulation very pure, with far more spores per gram than the U.S. offensive bioweapons program had achieved at its pinnacle in the late 1960s. Small size and high purity are crucial if infectious quantities are to become airborne and inhaled to cause the most deadly form of anthrax.

According to The Washington Post, scientists and biological warfare experts were "surprised by the revelation" that Dugway Proving Ground, a U.S. Army installation in Utah, had been working on a powdered form of the Ames strain since 1992. <2>



On September 21, a letter was mailed to Quantico Marine Base accusing Egyptian-born Dr. Ayaad Assaad, <3> a former USAMRIID scientist, of being "a potential biological terrorist". On October 2, Assaad was called into the FBI field office in Washington, D.C. for questioning. The author of the letter had written, "I have worked with Dr. Assaad, and I heard him say that he has a vendetta against the U.S. government and that if anything happens to him, he told his sons to carry on." Assaad explained afterward that "The letter-writer clearly knew my entire background, my training in both chemical and biological agents, my security clearance, what floor where I work now, that I have two sons, what train I take to work, and where I live." <4>

15. More importantly, who are we going to elect to put things back in order.
Someone needs to go back and hold those accountable who withheld information from Americans and allowed this damaging period of our history to linger far longer than it had to.

16. I thought it dead ended on
Their scapegoat, er, Person of Interest that worked in Ft. Detrick, about which they seem to be having trouble finding evidence. I apologize for having forgotten his name. They dragged his face across all the media for about a year around here on and off. There were evidentiary fishing expeditions in the local reservoirs looking for a scary-quoted-something in the last public effort.

I believe he has a suit to be heard or recently heard regarding harassment.
