The Associated Press is reporting a senior intelligence official has come forward to reveal that the CIA warned as early as 1995 that Islamic fundamentalists were likely to use planes to carry out attacks against American landmarks in Washington and New York. And by 1997 the CIA had identified Osama Bin Laden’s intent to attack the US. The official disclosed information contained in the classified National Intelligence Estimate of 1995 and 1997. The release of information came less than a day after the 9/11 Commission criticized the CIA for failing to recognize al-Qaida as a formal terrorist organization until 1999.
