'US had 10 missed chances to prevent 9/11'

IOL | July 21 2004

Washington - The final report to be issued on Thursday by a special commission probing the September 11, 2001 attacks will detail 10 missed chances to stop the terrorist attacks that killed 3 000 people, the Washington Post reported.

In its Wednesday edition, the paper cited sources with knowledge of the report written by the so-called 9/11 commission that "operational opportunities" would be listed in which the American government under both President George Bush and his predecessor, Bill Clinton, failed to disrupt the September 11 plot or al-Qaeda, the terrorist network behind it.

At almost 600 pages, the document notes that many of the opportunities to stop the attacks were slim and apparent only with hindsight, the Post said. It also recommends broad reforms including a member of the presidential cabinet to oversee agencies with intelligence roles including the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

The report's findings could be an important factor in the ongoing United States presidential campaign in advance of the November 2 elections.
