The Information Which Could Have Prevented 9/11: How The CIA Blocked The FBI From Knowing It

After learning about an Al Qaeda communications hub operating in Sana'a Yemen, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) began to open it's most important operation todate by planting a listening device inside the home which was owned by Ahmed al-Hada an associate of Osama Bin Laden. During the years of conducting signals and human surveillance, the CIA would learn about a high level Al qaeda summit meeting in Malaysia. Two men who were known to the NSA and CIA, Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi would both end up attending the meeting which was closely video recorded and many photographs were taken. None of this information was ever passed on to the FBI.

The Bin Laden Issue Station, a CIA virtual station, which monitors and collects data about Al Qaeda worldwide would be the main recipient of al data regarding the Yemen Hub. Two FBI agents tasked by John O'Neill in the FBI's New York City office, Mark Rossini and Doug Miller would be on loan to work here. On January 5th 2000, Doug Miller would read a cable which had a photograph of Khalid al-Mihdhar's passport, which had a dual entry visa into the United States. Miller immediately drafts a cable to warn FBI headquarters but his cable his stopped from being sent by Tomi Wilshire, the Deputy Chief of Alec Station at the time. Rossini would complain to the Yemen Hub head officer, Michael Anne Casey, whom replied that it's not an FBI matter. The CIA up until after the terrorist attacks of September 11th 2001 never shared information with the FBI about two Al Qaeda suspects coming and living inside the United States. The question is, why?
