Hawk of Pandora

December 30, 2000, a fax of 15 pages was sent to the FBI's Counter Terrorism Special Agent in Charge, Atlanta field office. It was a detailed report about a Chechen terrorist cell in Atlanta, Georgia between October to December 2000. April 19, 2001 (former) FBI Assistant Director for the Counterterrorism Division, Dale L. Watson sent a memo to FBI Director Louis Freeh that "the government received information that operational planning has been underway since late 2000, with an intended culmination in late spring 2001. These plans are being undertaken by Sunni extremists with links to Ibn al Khattab, an extremist leader in Chechnya, and to Osama bin Laden." (U.S v Moussaoui) Two 911 hijackers, Atta and Alshehhi, took flight lessons in Atlanta a month after the Chechens were exposed. The years following 911, the Bush administration made sure to hush most Chechen connections to Zacarias Moussaoui and 911 and America's support to Chechen separatists before 911. This is an untold missing link of 911.
