Al Qaeda plotted fifth 9/11 attack: Wikileaks
London, Feb. 2: A group of Qatari men, suspected of supporting the plotters of the serial attacks of 9/11, may have been preparing for a fifth suicide strike in Washington, according to the secret US diplomatic cables leaked by WikiLeaks.
The disclosure, in US diplomatic cables obtained by WikiLeaks, has raised suspicions that the three men aborted their plan at the last minute, the Telegraph reported here.
The US intelligence has been hunting for the Qatari men — named as Meshal Alhajri, Fahad Abdulla and Ali Alfehaid — who have been accused of conducting surveillance on the targets of 9/11 terror attacks, and providing support to the plotters. Nearly 3,000 people were killed in the series of airplane attacks by terrorist Sep 11, 2001. Two of the planes hijacked by attackers crashed into the twin tower of the World Trade Centre in New York. A third plane hit Pentagon and the fourth crashed in Pennsylvania.
Meanwhile, Al-Qaeda is attempting to procure nuclear material and recruit rogue scientists in order to build a radioactive “dirty bomb,” details published in Wednesday’s Telegraph revealed. The cables, released by the Wikileaks website, showed that security chiefs told in a Nato meeting that Al-Qaeda was planning “dirty radioactive improvised explosive devices.” Sources expressed fear that terrorists could use “children’s articles to introduce bombs”.
