CBS Reports on Possible Georgian Trace in 9/11 Attacks

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”.
