Unsealed Briefs Trace Years of Warnings on Bin Laden Before 9/11
TL;DR Summary
The CIA released 71 presidential daily briefs from 1998 to Sept. 12, 2001, showing U.S. intelligence tracked Osama bin Laden, his network and financing, with warnings of possible attacks on the U.S.—including hijackings and attempts to obtain weapons—yet they do not reveal a specific plot time or evidence of foreknowledge or conspiracy; some briefs had been public before, but this release presents the briefs in full words from the briefer's notes.
