“In April [2001] the U.S. intelligence community learned from a source with terrorist connections that Osama bin Laden was interested in using commercial pilots in future attacks. The source said that law enforcement investigators should consider the possibility of ‘spectacular and traumatic’ attacks akin to the first WTC bombing. No time frame for an upcoming attack was mentioned, and because the source was determined to be speculating, the information was not disseminated to U.S. intelligence agencies.” [The 15th of the month used for date sorting purposes only.]
