US Heard 'Tomorrow Is Zero Day' on Eve of Attacks

Wed Jun 19, 5:49 PM ET

 

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. intelligence intercepted two messages the day before the Sept. 11 attacks that indicated an event was planned the following day, but the communications were not translated until Sept. 12, government sources said on Wednesday.

 

 

The sources said the National Security Agency, which eavesdrops on communications worldwide, intercepted the messages saying, "tomorrow is zero day" and "the match begins tomorrow."

 

The sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the agency did not translate the messages until Sept. 12 -- the day after hijacked airliners smashed into New York's World Trade Center and the Pentagon ( news - web sites) killing about 3,000 people in a plot believed hatched by Osama bin Laden ( news - web sites)'s al Qaeda network.

 

The intercepted messages gave no details of the time, location or nature of the event that was to take place and it was not clear what language the communications were in.

 

The NSA handles a huge volume of intercepted communications traffic from around the world in many different languages.

 

One U.S. intelligence source said no action could have been taken on the basis of such vague messages.

 

"Sometimes we get the ambient noise and background chatter. You don't know who is talking," the source said.

 

"Is there actionable intelligence in this? Absolutely not. This is not a smoking gun."

 

U.S. intelligence agencies, including the FBI ( news - web sites) and the CIA ( news - web sites), have been strongly criticized by Congress and the media for failing to pick up on a number of warning signs before the attacks.

 

The FBI is undergoing fundamental reforms and President Bush ( news - web sites) has proposed creating a new Homeland Security Department headed by a member of the Cabinet to better coordinate intelligence and formulate responses to any future terrorist attack.
