MANILA, Philippines (CNN) -- The FBI was warned six years ago of a terrorist plot to hijack commercial planes and slam them into the Pentagon, the CIA headquarters and other buildings, Philippine investigators told CNN.

Philippine authorities learned of the plot after a small fire in a Manila apartment, which turned out to be the hideout of Ramzi Yousef, who was later convicted for his role in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. Yousef escaped at the time, but agents caught his right-hand man, Abdul Hakim Murad, who told them a chilling tale.

Great refresh/find.

Think the mainstream media will let this one out, this week?

After all, the government was warned, we are told, under Bush's watch.

And what was Klintoon up to in 1995? You don't want to know.

[Quilla]

But now the Clinton News Network and the rest of the liberal media are unconnecting and realigning them in an attempt to blame President Bush. I am disgusted by the number of posts I've read this morning on our conservative forum believing this bull.

So...President Clinton knew and did nothing!

Interesing contrast...

» President Bush is given a general warning of potential "hijackings" (which did not include the depiction of ramming planes into buildings) two months before 9/11

» Six years ago, President Clinton was advised, in detail, of hijacking THAT included ramming planes into buildings. Then, six years, an impeachment proceeding, who knows many "Monica-jobs", and a general failure in just about every area of policy, the plan materializes

Now, who had the opportunity to prevent planes ramming into buildings?

The entire world was more than warned in October 1999 when Osama's man took over the controls in the cockpit and deliberately crashed EgyptAir 990 into the Atlantic! Clinton and his state department spokesmen were on the air within minutes of the plane's disappearance to LIE to us and claim that whatever happened it was NOT terrorism. That was the big CLUE, people - Clinton the Liar said it wasn't a terrorist act bringing down a plane. He KNEW.

Hmmm...interesting. I hate to admit how ignorant I am about Flight 800. Of course, I know of the situation, but I didn't know that this was one of the theories (that bin Laden and his thugs were behind the tragedy). I had only heard the theory that a missile had shot it down...I think there was even the accusation that it was the Navy that shot the plane down.

Now, that I think about it, I wouldn't put it past the Klintoon's to have planted the theory about our Navy shooting the plane down in an effort to disgrace our military, which both Bill and Hitlery hate so much. Is there some legitimate source/data for the bin-Laden connected theory? If so, please provide the link. Looks like my eyes have opened even further this morning.

Thanks, ValerieUSA!

This will blow up in the RATS face just like Enron did, If they investigate this (which I'm sure they will) it will point at Clinton.

[TBall]

Thats 900 not 800.

[CaptRon]

Oops. Hoist by their own petard.

[TBall]

990 not 900

[Frapster]

If they investigate this they will do everything they can to smear Bush (the media and rats in Washington).

[mattdono]

See what I mean...Links to bin-Laden connection to Flight 990, anyone?

[Yardstick]

*Perspective Bump*

This terrorism thing didn't just spring into existence a year-and-a-half ago.

[Danette]

later reading....thanks

What was klintoon up to in 1995???

He was taking campain donations from ANYONE! I bet he got millions from a Bin Laden front company and Klintoon's payback was to leave him alone.

[martin_fierro]

What was klintoon up to in 1995???

Suffice to say, he was more focused on domestic "affairs."

[Yardstick]

Too bad this can't be posted under breaking news. This is good information for countering the it's-all-Bushes-fault propaganda.

[Yardstick]

Bushes = Bush's
