CBS Reports on Possible Georgian Trace in 9/11 Attacks
(Tbilisi, September 5, 2002, Civil Georgia) – CBS News reported on September 4 that “at 9:53 a.m., just 15 minutes after the hijacked plane had hit the Pentagon, the National Security Agency, which monitors communications worldwide, intercepted a phone call from one of Osama bin Laden’s operatives in Afghanistan to a phone number in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia”.
According to the CBS News the caller said he had “heard good news” and that another target was still to come; “an indication he knew another airliner, the one that eventually crashed in Pennsylvania, was at that very moment zeroing in on Washington”.
In February Charge d’Affairs of the United States in Georgia Philip Remler did not rule out that the terrorists from Afghanistan linked to Al Qaida hide in Georgia’s Pankisi gorge.
