Found a couple of things, few interesting quotes as well. This link has a bit of a personal outline (notice the transition from what could be considered regular law duties to terrorism shortly after 9/11).

At a commencement speech at Seton Hall Law School, Assistant Attorney General Michael Chertoff--described by the Associated Press as "the Bush administration's top anti-terrorism prosecutor"--said: "As of Sept. 10th, each of us knew everything we needed to know to tell us there was a possibility of what happened on Sept. 11th."

“‘We knew the World Trade Center was a target,’ said [Assistant Attorney General Michael] Chertoff, who was the U.S. attorney for New Jersey when the trade center was attacked in 1993. ‘We knew an airplane could be used as a weapon.’”

There are several other sites with alleged links to the Mossad but nothing with any specific proof.
