Andreas: This was a purely internal act of terror (i.e.,
carried out by US citizens, not foreigners.)
Back to this old topic. There is NO evidence that it was an
internal act of terror. There is MUCH MORE (circumstantial
versus none) evidence that it was al Qaeda. See below.
*Why did al Qaeda express an interest in cropdusters?
*The wife of the publisher of the Florida-based newspaper
that was attacked first was the real estate agent who rented
the apartment to the hijackers. Remember that news item?
*A doctor who had examined one of the hijackers the summer
before the attack observed what he thought were cutaneous
anthrax lesions on the al Qaeda guy's leg. Remember that
news item?
*Bin Laden purchased anthrax a few years ago.
It was purchased from a company in North Korea. See Yousef
Boudansky,_Bin Laden: The Man Who Declared War On America_,
at p. 326. It was purchased through the Moro Front, an
Indonesian radical group associated with Bin Laden. The
Mirror; Egyptian Testimony. Bin Laden's own name was on
the purchase order.
AND
*Al-Qaeda: Anthrax Found in Al-Qaeda Home
Samples of substances found in the Kabul home of al-Qaeda
leader Ayman al-Zawahiri tested positive for anthrax spores,
according to U.S. intelligence officials, Newsweek reported
yesterday...Full story at:

*The Al Qaeda operations manual, the most recent version on
CD-ROM, had a chapter on "Poisonous Letter." As with the
insertion of biologicals into food, the key was mass panic,
not mass casualty.
