In a Washington Post article on January 2, 2002, Philippines police Captain Aida Fariscal discussed her reaction to 9/11, and the fact that evidence of the plot was passed on to the FBI. ” ‘It’s so chilling… Those kamikaze pilots trained in America just like [bomber Ramzi Yousef’s cohort Abdul Hakim] Murad. The FBI knew all about Yousef’s plans. They’d seen the files; been inside [Room] 603 [the apartment in the Philippines which Murad and Yousef used for building bombs]. This [9/11] should never have been allowed to happen.’ ”
