Exclusive documents obtained by INTELWIRE from courts, sources and Freedom of Information requestsFriday, February 8, 2008
1999-07-08: FBI, summary of information, Khalid Shaikh MohammedThere are two versions of this document, which contain different information. The summary is a rare document indicating the FBI's interest in Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, prior to the September 11 attacks. KSM is considered the primary mastermind of the attacks. He was secretly indicted for his role in Ramzi Yousef's Bojinka plot in January 1996, but the FBI did not publicly acknowledge his existence until 1998.It's interesting to note the pointless redactions made to these documents prior to their release by the FBI. For instance, the names of the other Bojinka plotters (Ramzi Yousef, Abdul Hakim Murad and Wali Khan Amin Shah) have been redacted even though they are well in the public domain after a highly visible trial. The redactions are a typical example of the FBI's reluctance to release information, even when there is no legal or common-sense reason to withhold. 1999-07-08: FBI, summary of information, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed 1999-07-08: FBI, summary of information, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed Labels: 9-11, Bojinka, INTELFILES, Khalid-Shaikh-Mohammed, KSM, Ramzi-Yousef Views expressed on INTELWIRE are those of the author alone.
