Terrorist Linked to 9/11 Before Dining at Pentagon
Bob Unruh * WND
New documents obtained through the federal Freedom of Information Act about Anwar al-Awlaki reveal that his banking activity and other links to several 9/11 hijackers were known to the FBI weeks before he was invited to lunch at the Pentagon during an “outreach” to Muslims.
The documentation was obtained by Judicial Watch, the government watchdog agency that investigates and reports on government corruption.
“The more we learn about Anwar al-Awlaki, the more questions arise not only about his activities before and after 9/11, but also about the al-Qaida operational and support network still active in the United States,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
“It is now even more concerning that al-Awlaki was invited to the Pentagon after 9/11 and then let go by the FBI despite warrants for his arrest.”
It was reported in 2010 that Al-Awlaki was a lunch guest of military brass at the Pentagon months after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks that killed nearly 3,000 Americans in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.
At that time, it was revealed that documents, including an FBI interview conducted after Nidal Hasan’s terror attack on members of the military at Fort Hood in 2009, show that al-Awlaki was taken to the Pentagon as part of the military’s outreach to the Muslim community after 9/11.
Just what is Islam? Find how in Robert Spencer’s “Did Muhammad Exist?”
The report said that at that time al-Awlaki “was considered to be an ‘up and coming’ member of the Islamic community,” and he “was invited to and attended a luncheon at the Pentagon in the secretary of the Army’s Office of Government Counsel.”
