AP: FBI Illegally Seized Ramzi Yousef Documents From OKC Reporter's Mail

The FBI illegally seized a package sent between two Associated Press reporters working on an investigative series about the Oklahoma City bombing. The package contained documents related to Ramzi Yousef's al Qaeda cell in Manila, according to the Associated Press.

The package contained a laboratory report on items seized from a Manila apartment where Yousef and his conspirators, including Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, plotted a September 11-style attack on America. The package was part of reporter John Solomon's investigative series on possible warnings given to the U.S. about a terrorist attack sponsored by Islamic militants just prior to the Oklahoma City bombing. The FBI told AP the package "contained sensitive information that should not be made public."

According to research published on this site and elsewhere, and extensive courtroom documentation, Terry Nichols traveled to the Cebu, the Philippines, in November 1994, on a 60-day visa that expired on Jan. 21, 1995, the exact date Yousef was planning to launch Project Bojinka, a series of attacks on U.S. bound aircraft. According to "The New Jackals" by Simon Reeve and other verified information revealed during various criminal trials, Ramzi Yousef made at least one and possibly several trips to Cebu during Nichols' visit.

One phase of Bojinka involved the simultaneous detonation of a series of bombs over the Pacific, while a second phase would have had suicide pilot(s) crash commercial aircraft into U.S. landmark(s) such as the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and CIA headquarters. The plot was foiled after an accidental fire exposed the conspiracy.

I'm very surprised AP did not scream bloody murder in the press over this.

However, since x42 was in office - I guess that explains it.

The reporter who knows more than anyone else is Jayna Davis. She was a guest a few months ago on the DFU Radio Hour --- CLICK.

Erin go bragh! see above.

Remember Ruby Ridge? The FBI got away with murder.

McVeigh shows a deeply damaged mind. The problem is that he is repeating the the message comming from public schools and media. His lack of understanding combined with hatefull radicalism is based on moral relativism. We have our morals being subverted. The perpetrators are the media and eduaction system. The trouble is that many churches have also reneged on the Christian spirit. Only God and Gospel can help us.

DITTO!

Quite right. I always enjoy how he starts with proven cases and then jumps off a cliff.

Like; "You probably believe there were coverups in Waco, Ruby Ridge, TWA 800 and that Hillary is human and dogs secretly speak Spanish!"

See my kooky #78

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

Still the same FBI.

This is unfortunate new information.

Congress might have to start up another review. Last time some months ago they called as a first witness someone who is a minor figure and apparent fantasist who was conveniently disproved, everyone else smeared by assumed association, and the committee investigation conveniently halted. Maybe Congress will do this again.

"Maybe Congress will do this again."

By whom? The "Scotish Law" jerk? The retired joke from Missouri that rationalized Waco?

There's a really big iceberg here that everybody's afraid of!!!

The stench keeps leaking out from under the Clinton, Clinton, Gore & Reno, Inc. rug!!!

Somebody really needs to pull this rug out from under the bureaucratic establishment that's still sweeping stuff under it!!!

I'd also throw in the Atlanta Olympic Bombing in there as well, despite the government trying to pin it on Eric Rudolph (even though they have absolutely no clue whatsoever who really planted the bomb).

The FBI told AP the package "contained sensitive information that should not be made public... because it would, like, make us look bad, and stuff."

You won't see this on the evening news!

What do Timothy McVeigh and John (Sniper) Mohammad have in commen?

Both served in the first Gulf War and were Islamic sympathizers.

[mabelkitty]

The answer is very obvious.

We have been infiltrated by the enemy within. They are operating in our government.

So obvious, yet so bitterly denied.
