Top Secret CIA Documents on Osama bin Laden Declassified

Barbara Elias-Sanborn, National Security Archive June 19, 2012

Washington, D.C., June 19, 2012 -- The National Security Archive today
is posting over 100 recently released CIA documents relating to
September 11, Osama bin Laden, and U.S. counterterrorism operations.
The newly-declassified records, which the Archive obtained under the
Freedom of Information Act, are referred to in footnotes to the 9/11
Commission Report and present an unprecedented public resource for
information about September 11.

The collection includes rarely released CIA emails, raw intelligence
cables, analytical summaries, high-level briefing materials, and
comprehensive counterterrorism reports that are usually withheld from
the public because of their sensitivity. Today's posting covers a
variety of topics of major public interest, including background to
al-Qaeda's planning for the attacks; the origins of the Predator program
now in heavy use over Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran; al-Qaeda's
relationship with Pakistan; CIA attempts to warn about the impending
threat; and the impact of budget constraints on the U.S. government's
hunt for bin Laden.

Today's posting is the result of a series of FOIA requests by National
Security Archive staff based on a painstaking review of references in
the 9/11 Commission Report.
*
DOCUMENT HIGHLIGHTS*

The documents released by CIA detail the meticulousness of al-Qaeda's
plot against the United States and CIA attempts to counter the rising
terrorist threat. A previously undisclosed raw intelligence report that
became the basis for the December 4, 1998, President's Daily Brief notes
that five years before the actual attack, al-Qaeda operatives had
successfully evaded security at a New York airport in a test-run for bin
Laden's plan to hijack a U.S. airplane. [1998-12-03]. CIA analytical
reports also provide interesting insights into al-Qaeda's evolving
political strategies. "In our view, the hijackers were carefully
selected with an eye to their operational and political value. For
instance, the large number of Saudi nationals was most likely chosen not
only because of the ease with which Saudi nationals could get US visas
but also because Bin Ladin could send a message to the Saudi Royal
family." [2003-06-01]

Reports on early attempts to apprehend bin Laden detail the beginning of
the U.S. Predator drone program in Afghanistan and Pakistan. "First
Predator mission over Afghanistan [excised] September 7, 2000." [1]
"Twice in the fall of 2000, the Predator observed an individual most
likely to be Bin Ladin; however we had no way at the time to react to
this information." [2004-03-19] American UAVs did not have sufficient
weapons capabilities at the time the CIA likely spotted bin Laden in
2000 to fire on the suspect using the UAV.

Al-Qaeda's ties to Pakistan before September 11 are also noted in
several documents. "Usama ((Bin Ladin))'s Islamic Army considered the
Pakistan/Afghanistan area one region. Both Pakistan and Afghanistan
serve as a regional base and training center for Islamic Army activities
supporting Islamic insurgencies in Tajikistan, the Kashmir region and
Chechnya. [Excised] The Islamic Army had a camp in Pakistan [Excised]
purpose of the camp was to train and recruit new members, mostly from
Pakistan." [1997-07-14] While, "UBL elements in Pakistan reportedly plan
to attack POTUS [U.S. President Clinton's] plane with [excised] missiles
if he visits Pakistan." [2000-02-18]

Similar to the 9/11 Commission Report, the document collection details
repeated CIA warnings of the bin Laden terrorist threat prior to
September 11. According to a January 2000 Top Secret briefing to the
Director of Central Intelligence, disruption operations against the
Millennium plot "bought time... weeks... months... but no more than one
year" before al-Qaeda would strike. [2000-01-07] "A UBL attack against
U.S. interests could occur at any time or any place. It is unlikely that
the CIA will have prior warning about the time or place." [1999-08-03]
By September 2001, CIA counterterrorism officials knew a plot was
developing but couldn't provide policymakers with details. "As of Late
August 2001, there were indications that an individual associated with
al-Qa'ida was considering mounting terrorist operations in the United
States, [Excised]. No further information is currently available in the
timing of possible attacks or on the alleged targets in the United
States." [2001-08-24]

Despite mounting warnings about al-Qaeda, the documents released today
illustrate how prior to September 11, CIA counterterrorism units were
lacking the funds to aggressively pursue bin Laden. "Budget concerns...
CT [counterterrorism] supplemental still at NSC-OMB [National Security
Council -- Office of Management and Budget] level. Need forward movement
on supplemental soonest due to expected early recess due to conventions,
campaigning and elections. Due to budgetary constraints... CTC/UBL
[Counterterrorism Center/Osama bin Laden Unit] will move from offensive
to defensive posture." [2000-04-05]

Although the collection is part of a laudable effort by the CIA to
provide documents on events related to September 11, many of these
materials are heavily redacted, and still only represent one-quarter of
the CIA materials cited in the 9/11 Commission Report. Hundreds of cited
reports and cables remain classified, including all interrogation
materials such as the 47 reports from CIA interrogations of Khalid
Sheikh Mohammed from March 24, 2003 -- June 15, 2004, which are
referenced in detail in the 9/11 Report.

Highlights of the CIA September 11 Document Collection Include:

o The report details how bin Laden was planning "new operations
against the United States (U.S.) targets in the near future.
Plans to hijack a U.S. aircraft were proceeding well. Two
individuals from the relevant operational team in the U.S. had
successfully evaded security checks during a trial run at "New

This document is a detailed summary of CIA efforts to
apprehend Osama bin Laden from 1989-2004. Highlights include:

# Agency notes on bin Laden's evolution from "terrorist
financier" in the early 1990s to a significant threat to
U.S. interests by mid-1990.
# Discussions and debates regarding the use of Predator
drones as early as 2000. [2]

# Critiques of FBI information systems as impediments to
counterterrorism efforts - "A major, ongoing concern is
FBI's own internal dissemination system. CIA officers
still often find it necessary to hand-deliver messages
to the intended recipient within the FBI. In additional
FBI has not perfected its FI reporting system and
headquarters-field communications so dissemination of
intelligence outside of FBI is still spotty." And the
report confirms suggestions by the 9/11 Commission
Report that "the different organizational culture and
goals of the FBI and CIA sometimes get in the way of
desired results." (p. 22)
# A group of Afghan trial leaders worked with the CIA on
the UBL issue, but "[Excised] judged to be unlikely to
successfully attack a heavily guarded Bin Ladin."
"Masood has to be engaged to help in the attempt to
capture Bin Ladin, but with the understanding that he
would be his own man, never an agent of surrogate of the
US government... Even if he agreed to do so, his chances
of success against the Taliban were judged to be less
than five percent." (p. 58)

* Detailed Reports on Al-Qaeda Organization
o "The spike in the network's activity stems in part from changes
in Bin Ladin's practices. To avoid implicating himself and his
Taliban hosts, Bin Ladin over the past two years has allowed
cells in his network, al-Qa'ida, to plan attacks more
independently of the central leadership and has tried to gain
support for his agenda outside the group. -- The network also
has benefited from a sharp increase in mujahidin recruitment
since the resumption of the conflict in Chechnya in 1999, which
exposed a new generation of militants to terrorist techniques
and extremist ideology through training at al-Qai'da-run camps
in Afghanistan. -- Violence between Israelis and the
Palestinians, moreover is making Sunni extremists more willing
to participate in attacks against US or Israeli interests."

of Intelligence Community resources on terrorism issues. The
Center has made progress on problems identified at the time of
