Bin Laden Warned of 'Unprecedented Attack'

LONDON, Sept 11—Saudi dissident Osama bin Laden warned three weeks ago that he and his followers would carry out an unprecedented attack on U.S. interests for its support of Israel, an Arab journalist with access to him said on Tuesday.

Abdel-Bari Atwan, editor of the London-based al-Quds al-Arabi, an Arabic-language weekly news magazine, said Islamic fundamentalists led by bin Laden were "almost certainly" behind the attack of the World Trade Center in New York.

"It is most likely the work of Islamic fundamentalists. Osama bin Laden warned three weeks ago that he would attack American interests in an unprecedented attack, a very big one," Atwan told Reuters.

"Personally we received information that he planned very, very big attacks against American interests. We received several warnings like this. We did not take it so seriously, preferring to see what would happen before reporting it."

Atwan has interviewed bin Laden and maintains close contacts with his followers.

Bin Laden is wanted in the United States for the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania which killed 224 people and injured more than 4,000.

Two planes crashed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center on Tuesday morning as office workers began work, setting them on fire and causing both to collapse, live television coverage showed.

Another plane crashed next to the Pentagon in Washington, a U.S. official said. Eyewitnesses said the building was being evacuated. The White House and State Department were also evacuated.

An anonymous caller told Abu Dhabi television in the Gulf that the radical Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine was responsible for the two New York crashes, but a senior DFLP official in the Palestinian territories denied any involvement.

"I emphasise that the story released on Abu Dhabi TV by an anonymous person is totally incorrect," Tayseer Khaled, a senior official of the DFLP politburo in the Palestinian territories, told Reuters.

"The DFLP is against hijacking planes and against endangering the lives of civilians who are not connected with the struggle of this region," he said.

President George W. Bush called the crashes an "apparent terrorist attack," and pledged the U.S. government would "hunt down" those responsible.

Atwan said anti-American sentiment in the Middle East was at its peak and moderate Arab governments had been "embarrassed" by what they saw as Bush's reluctance to lead peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians.

"The more moderate Arab governments were pleading with the American administration to intervene and to resume its sponsorship to the peace talks and put an end to the Israeli agression. The Bush administration let them down," Atwan said.

He said the United States, if convinced that bin Laden was behind the attacks, would probably retaliate in Afghanistan where bin Laden is thought to be in hiding.

"I will not surprised that the Americans will send their cruise missiles to Afghanistan. There is no other country because bin Laden is in Afghanistan."

Oh sh**. I have an old friend who works at one of those.

Far too many companies/business contacts I deal with on a daily basis (finance). Today was surreal in the office. no phones ringing.

was supposed to meet w/Sandler O'Neill on the 20th. They occupied the 104th floor of #2. It's gone.

I understand everyone working for Sun Microsystems, South Tower, 25th and 26th floors, got out safely. There were over 200 employees known to be in the office. Apparently they started evacuating after the North Tower was hit.

I am told that Scient, an internet professional services consulting firm had offices in the towers, but I don't know what floor(s).

This information came from a co-worker...

Maybe they donated to Cliton and he warned them?

A lot of Chinese and Japanese companies, not to mention banks and TV stations. It was mentioned today that anyone over the 30th Floor is probably dead.

My daughter was on the 38th floor of the first building that was hit. She escaped by the stairs and said that there were people with burns running down the stairs. All in her group escaped. They were in the mall when the second plane hit and down the street when the first tower came down. I also heard someone interviewed on TV that ran down from the at least the 70th floor.

A lot of Chinese and Japanese companies, not to mention banks and TV stations. It was mentioned today that anyone over the 30th Floor is probably dead.

This is NOT the case. The evacuation of 1WTC (the north tower) began soon after the first strike. Folks from upper floors did get out. It is a long walk down. Many are not yet accounted for.

Again, who stands to gain, who stands to lose?

Keep hoping. A very good friend I've known since grammar school was on the 105th floor and has not been heard from. A two year-old daughter and another child on the way. I can't even describe how I feel.

Thanks, _Jim, I've been wondering about this; the only one I've heard about is Morgan, Stanley, Dean.......

Looks like the Asians were hit pretty hard.

And these were just the businesses/companies/operations in the *two* tall buildings - there ~~are~~ *were* several buildings involved owing to damage from the collapse of the two tall buildings including buildings *not* part of the "World Trade Center Plaza".
In fact, I think it's safe to say that all the buildings on this map below are now history:
