5 mysteries about 9/11 terror

14 years after the US witnessed the terrorist incident that killed more than 3,000 people, public opinion is still questioned on many issues that do not have a proper answer.

Unanswered mysteries about 9/11 terrorism

1. Why did Washington allow many Saudi Arabia citizens, including many of Osama bin Laden's family, to leave the United States a few days after 9/11?

The 9/11 Commission report said that after the New York airspace reopened, six flights carrying most of Saudi Arabia's citizens had left the United States from September 14-24, 2001. A flight taking off on September 20 carries only 26 passengers, mostly Osama bin Laden's relatives.

The incident surprised many experts because those who could provide the most information to investigators were allowed to leave the United States. Jack Cloonan, a former al-Qaeda investigative expert of the FBI and CIA, said the terrorist was most likely contacting one of these.

1. The horrifying truths about the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the United States

However, Richard Clarke, who was in charge of the White House crisis team right after the terrorist attack, said Washington's actions were reasonable. According to Clarke, it was to allow the Saudis to return to their homeland to help them avoid the wave of revenge by domestic extremists.

2. Those who have a duty to protect the security of the United States are not punished but are promoted

Weeks, or months after 9/11, the United States did not discipline any officials responsible for forecasting or defending the United States against attacks. In fact, most of them are promoted.

One of the most prominent characters is Air Force General Richard Myers. At the time of the terrorist attacks, the Joint Chiefs of Staff Hugh Shelton was on a plane to attend a NATO meeting. Thus, Mr. Shelton's deputy Richard Myers became the Ministry of Defense's manager in a crisis situation, presiding over the prevention of four commercial aircraft hijacked by the hijackers.

Prior to the attack, the North American Air Defense Command (NORAD) carried out numerous air strikes. However, on September 11, 2001, no fight came out to protect the two most important cities of the United States, New York and Washington.

In early October 2001, Mr. Myers was formally promoted to become the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

3. Why does the Bush administration want to avoid a thorough investigation of 9/11?

In the beginning, the White House did not set up an investigation committee to study the consequences and factors, the vulnerability of security forces and American intelligence led to the terrorist incident. Having spent a long time facing a fierce protest from the families of thousands of victims, President George W. Bush approved the establishment of an investigative committee, who was in charge of Mr. Henry Kissinger.

4. Why does the US Air Force act?

Before the time of the terrorism, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) maintained cooperation with NORAD to deploy combat if an aircraft deviated from the route and disconnected the signal with air traffic control. NORAD mobilized fighter jets 67 times from September 2000 to June 2001.

However, no fighter started within 90 minutes before the aircraft crashed into the tower or fell to the headquarters of the Ministry of Defense. Security observers also argue that it is surprising that the Pentagon, based on the head of the world's largest military, has taken no precautionary measures for more than an hour. Best.

5. The hijackers are still alive?

One of the biggest mysteries of 9/11 is about the fate of terrorists. These 19 names are believed to be members of al-Qaeda, mainly Saudi Arabia citizens. A few days after the attack, the BBC reported that some terrorists were safe.

'Waleed al-Shehri is one of five FBI accused of deliberately manipulating American Airlines aircraft into the WTC tower. However, he is now asserting innocence in Casablanca, Morocco, 'the BBC reported on September 23, 2001.

The BBC's newsletter also continues to mention Abdulaziz Al Omari, one of the other attackers on Amerrican Airlines flight. Accordingly, Omari claimed to be an engineer in Saudi Arabia and lost his passport when studying in Denver, Colorado.

London-based Asharq Al Awsat newspaper also published an interview with Saeed Alghamdi in late September 2001. Alghamdi is one of the terrorists on the list published by US investigators.

To date, 7 of the 19 objects that the US accuses of hijacking still survive the horrific attacks that have killed at least 3,000 people.
