HELLO? How the hell do they know who it was? I was under the impression an investigation would have to be conducted to ascertain the responsible party in the absence of a group taking credit. I havn't heard any such thing.
The article brings up some good points to consider.
Who gained the most by what happened?
Monday, November 10, 2003 12:39:53 PM Who says it was Al Qaeda ?
Lets look at the facts. On 25th October 2003 the CIA released statements that warned of 'imminent Al Qaeda' attacks in Saudi Arabia. ( see BBC report ). A few weeks later, BOOM. Either the CIA has infiltrated Al Qaeda so well, that they are able to tell when they will attack, or there is something fishy about this whole incident.
If the CIA did know about it, then clearly the information was coming from a source who would be pretty senior in Al Qaeda's network. Anyone who knows how the organisation works, would know, only those people who are DIRECTLY involved, have any knowledge about whats going to happen. This minimises the possibility of outsiders finding out.
Therefore the CIA's mole, must have been directly involved in the planning or execution of this terrorist act. If so, why didn't the CIA stop it ?

The fact that Al Qaida had been shooting it out with Saudi forces in the weeks before the bombing doesn't get mentioned.
The fact that most of the 9/11 hijackers were Saudi doesn't get mentioned.
The fact that Osama Bin Laden is Saudi and hates the way the Saudi princes run the country doesn't get mentioned.
When you ignore enough facts, you can come up with any theory you like.

Dude. You're so full of # you must have skidmarks down the back of your shirt collar.
Yeah. I can just see the headline - "Suicide Bombers on 3rd Mission"
he is saying that the supposed hijakers names that were provided to us have been proven---that some of them are still alive and in saudi!
