The FBI knew that the 911 attack was being planned

• Fitzgerald and McCarthy allowed Ali Mohamed to remain

an active al Qaeda agent despite the fact that the FBI knew he had sworn allegiance to bin Laden as early as 1993.

Mohamed moved the Saudi billionaire from Afghanistan to Sudan in 1991, trained his personal bodyguard in 1994, set up al Qaeda terror camps in Khartoum, and trained the terrorists responsible for the 1993 WTC bombing and Day of Terror plots;

• After meeting Mohamed face to face in '97, Fitzgerald called him "the most dangerous man I have ever met," and vowed,

"We cannot let this man out on the street."

Yet for another ten months he allowed Mohamed to remain free,

while the al Qaeda spy continued to support the African embassy bombing plot he had set in motion in 1993 -- after being freed from custody on the word of his FBI control agent.

•  Mohamed had told Fitzgerald that he had "hundreds" of al Qaeda sleepers ready to go "operational" at any time -- and yet to this day the FBI has failed to detect them;

• Mohamed, who wasn't even arrested until a month after the 1998 embassy bombings, remained in US custody for three years before 9/11.

But even after cutting a deal that allowed him to escape the death

penalty and enter witness protection, Fitzgerald failed to extract

the 9/11 planes-as-missiles plot from Mohamed.

• As early as 1991 the FBI was aware of Sphinx Trading,

a New Jersey mail box store directly linked to al Qaeda, but failed to monitor the location.

Fitzgerald and McCarthy had named the store's co-incorporator

(Waleed al-Noor) owner as an unindicted coconspirator in the 1995 Day of Terror case. Yet six years later, in July 2001, the FBI blew an extraordinary chance to interdict the 9/11 plot when two of the 9/11 hijackers got their fake IDs at the very same store.
