00:07O que é o destrócione do mundo trade center e o ataque no pentagon,
00:10a CIA e FBI briefed os líderes de Washington
00:14que o seu search for os terroristas
00:16estava focando em um nome above todos os outros.
00:20E as a investigação rapidamente identificou a hijackers,
00:23federal officials now say que os bombings foram carregados
00:27por seguidores de aquele homem,
00:29o militante Osama Bin Laden.
00:32Em história de terroristas,
00:34ninguém come up with a vision
00:38of destruction
00:39and a willingness to carry it out
00:41like him.
00:42For years, this one man has taunted, threatened
00:44and frustrated the United States.
00:47But who is he?
00:48The U.S. government has tried to link him
00:50to nearly every act of Islamic terrorism
00:52against Americans in the 90s.
00:54From the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center
00:56to the bombings of U.S. military installations
00:59in Saudi Arabia
01:00to the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies
01:04in Africa.
01:05The United States launched an attack this morning
01:08on one of the most active terrorist bases in the world.
01:12He has survived retaliation
01:14and eluded the U.S. counterintelligence net.
01:17We have no idea where Bin Laden's whereabouts.
01:21To reemerge this week,
01:22his followers named as the chief suspects
01:25in the worst terrorist attack in history.
01:28I think the enormity of the strike
01:31designed to amaze the world,
01:34to astonish the world,
01:36that's always one of his goals.
01:39Tonight, America's long, frustrating hunt
01:43for Osama Bin Laden.
01:50This special edition of Frontline,
01:52a co-production with the New York Times,
01:54is anchored by Bill Moyers.
01:59Good evening.
02:01The search for the victims continues tonight.
02:03The grieving has hardly begun.
02:05It's not possible now even to imagine
02:07the consequences still to come
02:09from the vicious, cold-blooded,
02:11and devastatingly successful terrorism
02:13that virtually brought America
02:15to a standstill this week.
02:16Who did it?
02:18Who could inspire, direct, and link
02:20such a complex operation?
02:22Who had the resources, the network,
02:24the money, and the motive to pull it off?
02:27So far, the most conspicuous suspects
02:30are followers of Osama Bin Laden.
02:32This is a familiar name
02:33because Bin Laden had already become
02:35the symbol of hatred toward America.
02:38Two years ago, Frontline investigated
02:40the world of Osama Bin Laden.
02:42Two bombs had just struck
02:44another pair of American targets.
02:46We're updating that Frontline report tonight
02:48because, once again,
02:50Americans want to know
02:51who is this man, Bin Laden?
03:08The bombers set off in the morning
03:09for downtown Nairobi.
03:15Their target, the United States Embassy,
03:18was located at one of the busiest intersections
03:20in the city.
03:23Their truck was carrying
03:252,000 pounds of TNT.
03:35213 people died.
03:385,000 were wounded.
03:44Four minutes later,
03:45600 miles away,
03:47in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania,
03:49another bomb.
03:51Another 11 people died,
03:54another 85 wounded.
03:57The question was,
03:58why and to what end?
04:01U.S. Ambassador to Kenya,
04:03Prudence Bushnell.
04:05For two nights after the bombing,
04:07I was plagued with the question,
04:10what's the point?
04:11It really, what is the point?
04:14And since then,
04:15I have heard what the point is
04:18because Mr. Bin Laden
04:20explained the point.
04:22The point, he says, is,
04:23I hate Americans
04:24and I'm going to kill you.
04:27If that's the point,
04:28it certainly is the wrong point,
04:29but it's the point of one man,
04:31one renegade,
04:33somebody who certainly
04:35doesn't have his feet
04:36in the kind of reality
04:37I deal with every day.
04:40Osama Bin Laden,
04:42the man the U.S. government
04:43calls a renegade,
04:44is today the most wanted man
04:46on earth
04:46with a $5 million bounty
04:48on his head.
04:49But who is this man?
04:51Is he just one lone renegade?
04:53The American government
04:54don't get it.
04:56They don't get it?
04:56They don't get it.
04:57No.
04:59Ahmed Sattar
05:00is a close associate
05:01of Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman.
05:04Five years ago,
05:05the Sheikh was arrested,
05:06tried, and convicted
05:07for conspiring to blow up
05:08the Statue of Liberty,
05:10the United Nations headquarters,
05:11and the Holland Tunnel.
05:13You can kill Osama Bin Laden
05:16today or tomorrow.
05:17You can arrest him
05:20and put him on trial
05:21in New York
05:22or in Washington
05:23or whatever.
05:26This will end the problem?
05:29No.
05:30Tomorrow,
05:31you will get somebody else.
05:33It's not a secret
05:35that the American government,
05:36you know,
05:37has one enemy.
05:39is the Islamic movement
05:41all over the world.
05:44Whether it's armed struggle
05:45or by peaceful means.
05:48And you can see it.
05:49You can see it from Algeria.
05:50You can see it to Afghanistan.
05:54The United States
05:54is at war?
05:58Yes,
05:59to a certain extent, yes.
06:00With Islam?
06:07For the vast majority of Muslims,
06:09Islam is a religion of peace.
06:13But in mosques around the world,
06:15many clerics talk about Islam
06:17being under attack
06:18and about how they must unite
06:20and fight back.
06:23It is what Muslims call
06:25jihad,
06:26the obligation
06:27to defend Islam
06:29from any
06:29and all enemies.
06:41facing the house of Allah
06:42in Mecca.
06:43Devout Muslims around the world
06:45submit to God
06:46five times a day.
06:50Mecca is at the heart of Islam
06:52in Saudi Arabia,
06:55the land of the two holy mosques
06:57of Mecca and Medina.
07:00It is also the homeland
07:02of Osama bin Laden.
07:10The country is ruled
07:11by a monarchy
07:12that bin Laden says
07:13is a corrupt
07:14and repressive puppet
07:15of the United States.
07:19Frontline wanted to come here
07:21to inquire about bin Laden,
07:22but reporters with cameras
07:24are not welcome.
07:25And anyone who speaks out here
07:27risks their freedom.
07:33So we went to London
07:35to talk to exiled
07:37Saudi dissidents.
07:39London is home
07:40to half a million Muslims
07:41and sanctuary
07:42for Islamic dissidents
07:43from all over the world.
07:48A prominent Saudi physician,
07:51Saad al-Faghi,
07:52heads the movement
07:53for Islamic reform
07:54in Arabia.
07:55He says he opposes
07:57the use of violence,
07:58but he knows a lot
07:59about bin Laden
08:00and his views.
08:01He is a product
08:02for a new social structure
08:04and new social feelings
08:06in the Muslim world
08:07where you have
08:08strong hostility
08:10not only against America,
08:12but also against many
08:13Arab and Muslim regimes
08:15who are allied to America.
08:18Who are the bin Ladens?
08:20Bin Laden family
08:21is very interesting.
08:22His father came from
08:23a family from Hadramaut,
08:25South Yemen,
08:26who are famous
08:28to be successful merchants
08:29and businessmen.
08:31by talent,
08:33probably by their genes
08:34as successful businessmen.
08:36So successful
08:37were the bin Ladens
08:38that they amassed
08:39a multi-billion dollar fortune
08:40in the construction business.
08:42It helped that the father
08:43had close ties to the king,
08:45who, says al-Faghi,
08:47issued a decree
08:48that all government contracts
08:50had to go to
08:51the bin Laden construction company.
08:54Osama bin Laden
08:55is the 17th son
08:57of 52 children,
08:58presumed to be heir
08:59to a $300 million fortune.
09:02But Osama bin Laden
09:04wasn't all that interested
09:05in money
09:05or the family business.
09:07Some people have told us
09:08that in the 1970s
09:10he was lost.
09:11He didn't really have
09:12a career or a direction
09:13until he went to Afghanistan.
09:16Exactly.
09:17He was a student
09:18in the university
09:19and then he was taken
09:20by the news of Afghanistan
09:22and he moved there.
09:23Even in the first
09:24three or four years
09:25in Afghanistan,
09:26nobody noticed
09:28that he was there.
09:35For Muslims,
09:37the war in Afghanistan
09:38against godless,
09:39communist Soviet invaders
09:41was a religious duty,
09:43a holy war or jihad.
09:50Thousands of Muslims
09:51flocked to Afghanistan
09:52from all over the world.
09:54Sad al-Faghi came as a surgeon.
09:57What was the attraction
09:58to go to Afghanistan?
10:00Well, it was a golden opportunity
10:03to live the life of jihad
10:06because you cannot practice
10:07jihad in Saudi Arabia,
10:08you cannot practice jihad
10:09in the Gulf,
10:10you cannot practice jihad
10:12in any other country.
10:14So the only way
10:15to practice actual jihad
10:17in its full-scale sense
10:18is that you carry a weapon
10:20and fight the enemy,
10:21the enemy of Islam.
10:25For Americans,
10:26the Afghan war
10:27was a chance
10:28to weaken the Kremlin.
10:29The U.S.,
10:30along with its chief ally
10:31in the region,
10:32Saudi Arabia,
10:33pumped in $6 billion
10:35of not-so-covert guns
10:37and ammunition
10:38in order to defeat
10:39the Russians.
10:44Milt Bearden
10:45was the CIA field officer
10:47charged with overseeing
10:48the agency's operations.
10:50How important
10:51was the Afghan war
10:52as an event
10:53for the Arabs
10:55and for the United States?
10:56It's a very big deal.
10:58A small Islamic nation
11:00of 15 million people
11:01stood up
11:02to the Soviet Union
11:04with assistance from others
11:06and forced that entity
11:09called the Soviet Red Army
11:11to withdraw.
11:12The first of a great moment
11:14in a resurgent Islam.
11:19This is bin Laden
11:20in Afghanistan.
11:21At age 22,
11:23he came here
11:23and used his family name
11:25and influence
11:25to help raise money
11:26for the cause.
11:27Bin Laden actually did
11:29some very good things.
11:30He put a lot of money
11:31in a lot of right places
11:33in Afghanistan.
11:34He never came on the screen
11:36of any Americans
11:37as either a terrific asset
11:40or someone
11:41who is anti-American.
11:43Bearden was familiar
11:45with the Arabs
11:45that came to Afghanistan.
11:47He says the idea
11:49that Osama bin Laden
11:50led a force
11:50of freedom fighters
11:51through bloody
11:52and heroic battles
11:53with the Soviets
11:54is pure myth.
11:55As is the idea
11:57that bin Laden
11:57was a creation
11:58of the CIA.
12:00You knew of Osama bin Laden
12:02at the time
12:03as a fundraiser
12:04and not as a fighter?
12:05Oh, not as a fighter.
12:06There were no Arabs
12:08who had a,
12:10what I would call
12:11a major role
12:11in fighting the war.
12:13I think there was
12:14one battle.
12:15One battle
12:16in the spring of 87
12:18that bin Laden
12:19was engaged in.
12:20And that's it.
12:22That's not true.
12:23He was involved
12:23to the bone
12:24in fighting in Afghanistan.
12:27Al-Fagee
12:28and members
12:29of the Saudi opposition
12:30tell of a different bin Laden.
12:32They recount
12:33a leader among soldiers.
12:35And people
12:36who work with him
12:37or live with him
12:37like him a lot
12:39because he is,
12:40he's having the two
12:41characters
12:42for people to be liked.
12:44The charisma,
12:45the aura,
12:45in one side,
12:47and also the humbleness
12:48and being simple
12:50and being generous
12:51and soft
12:53on the other side.
12:54People who lived
12:55with him
12:55very closely,
12:56they told me that
12:57you are taken
12:58by his personality
12:59and you are forced
13:00to have strong affection
13:02towards him
13:03and respect.
13:05When the Soviets
13:06withdrew from Afghanistan
13:07in 1989,
13:09victory over the Red Army
13:10left bin Laden
13:11and his followers
13:12extremely confident.
13:15Well,
13:16we can do things.
13:18We can achieve things.
13:20Ahmed Sattar
13:21says the war
13:22was an inspiration
13:23to Muslims everywhere.
13:24You mean,
13:25if you can defeat
13:25what Ronald Reagan
13:27called the evil empire?
13:28Yes,
13:29if I can defeat
13:29the evil empire,
13:31I can defeat
13:31anybody else.
13:36Saeed Abourish
13:37is a Palestinian-born author
13:39living in London.
13:40He says
13:41the war in Afghanistan
13:42did much more
13:43than just boost confidence.
13:44What happened
13:46is the people
13:47who went to Afghanistan
13:48became radicalized.
13:51You know,
13:52they assumed
13:54a political role
13:58above and beyond
13:59the original purpose
14:00of facing the Russians.
14:03They wanted
14:04to go back home
14:05and have a say
14:06about how things
14:07were being done
14:08in their own countries.
14:10And that is really
14:11what happened
14:12to Osama bin Laden.
14:13Bin Laden returned
14:15to Saudi Arabia
14:16and the story goes
14:17he had a dream.
14:19When he came back
14:20to Saudi Arabia
14:20in 1989,
14:21he had a prophecy
14:22that Saddam
14:23is going to invade
14:24Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.
14:25And he made this public
14:26not only through
14:27secret confidential letters
14:29to the king,
14:30but he was talking
14:31about it in the mosques.
14:33And then his prophecy
14:33was correct.
14:36In 1990,
14:37after Iraq invaded Kuwait
14:39and threatened Saudi Arabia,
14:41the king turned
14:42to the United States
14:43for help.
14:44Bin Laden protested.
14:47He said,
14:49you don't need Americans,
14:50you don't need
14:50any other non-Muslim troops.
14:52We will be enough.
14:53And I can convince
14:55even Afghanis
14:55to come and join us
14:56instead of Americans.
14:58Well, you agree
14:59with that, right?
15:00Well, I mean,
15:01not only I,
15:03very broad spectrum
15:04in Arabia,
15:07agree with that,
15:08that we don't want
15:09American forces,
15:11we don't want
15:12a single American soldier
15:14to step foot
15:15in our country.
15:19The arrival
15:20of American troops
15:21was bad enough.
15:22But when the troops
15:23did not leave
15:24the holy lands of Islam
15:25after the Gulf War ended,
15:27Muslims all over the world
15:29took notice.
15:31Continued U.S. presence
15:32was a religious affront,
15:33not unlike the Soviet
15:35occupation of Afghanistan.
15:39The people,
15:40especially in the Arab
15:41and Islamic world,
15:42look at you same way.
15:44They looked at the British
15:46and the French
15:48occupation forces.
15:49How can you say that?
15:50We sent our troops
15:51to defend you.
15:52Well, you know,
15:53yes, we really
15:54appreciate it very much.
15:56You sent our,
15:57you sent your troops
15:58to defend us.
16:00Nobody asked
16:02for the American troops
16:04to go there.
16:05You went there
16:06to protect
16:07your own interests.
16:09You went there
16:11to protect
16:12some corrupted
16:14regimes
16:16that work
16:18against their own people.
16:19So do not give me
16:21that you were there
16:22to protect
16:23the people.
16:25You,
16:26your policy
16:26in this area
16:27has nothing,
16:28and I mean nothing,
16:30to do with the people.
16:32Muslim fundamentalists
16:33say that America's
16:34alliance with King Fahd
16:36is akin to America's
16:37disastrous alliance
16:38with the Shah of Iran.
16:40When King Fahd,
16:41like the Shah,
16:42is forced from power,
16:43they say,
16:44Americans will be
16:45on the wrong side
16:46of history.
16:50We are here
16:52to ensure
16:53that the decadent,
16:55corrupt,
16:57violent,
16:58violent,
16:59civil-litic
17:00family
17:01in the House of Saud
17:03be taken out.
17:05In London,
17:06we spoke to another
17:07prominent leader
17:07of the Saudi opposition,
17:09Mohammed Massari.
17:11Massari,
17:11who has had close ties
17:12to some of bin Laden's
17:13top people,
17:14agrees the Saudi leadership
17:16lacks credibility.
17:18There is no planning
17:18for the future
17:19which will guarantee
17:20a reasonable survival
17:21after the end
17:22of the oil age.
17:23The oil age is coming
17:24to an end sooner
17:24or later.
17:2540, 50 years,
17:26there will be enough
17:27other energy resources
17:28that oil will become
17:30less significant
17:30than it's today.
17:33Nothing is prepared
17:34probably because
17:34we have a ruling group
17:36or a losing class
17:37or clique,
17:38call it whatever you want,
17:39which does not have
17:40any vision
17:41of the reality
17:43or the future.
17:44It's absolutely
17:46incapable
17:47and inept leadership.
17:49Already,
17:50critics of the
17:51Saudi government
17:51point out
17:52the king has managed
17:53to turn the world's
17:54largest oil producer
17:56into a debtor nation.
17:57They have not
17:58used their income wisely
18:00and they have squandered
18:02all of their reserves
18:04and as a result
18:06at this moment in time
18:07the country
18:07is not only broke
18:09they are heavily in debt.
18:11There have been
18:12very many attempts
18:14to overthrow
18:15that government
18:15and to rebel.
18:32This tape
18:32of a Saudi opposition
18:34leader speaking
18:34to a crowd
18:35of supporters
18:36was smuggled out
18:37of Saudi Arabia
18:38by Saudi activists.
18:41In the early 90s
18:43bin Laden
18:44was known
18:44to have made
18:45similar protests.
18:49Osama bin Laden
18:51is the product
18:52of these movements
18:53and Osama bin Laden
18:55is much more interesting
18:56than most of them
18:57because Osama bin Laden
18:58belongs to a family
18:59which is part
19:00of the establishment,
19:02the ruling establishment
19:03of Saudi Arabia.
19:04And therefore it is
19:06an indication
19:08of how bad things
19:09have got
19:11when a member
19:12of the establishment
19:13becomes a radical
19:15Islamist
19:15against the regime.
19:18Osama bin Laden's
19:19first demand
19:21is that the American troops
19:23in Saudi Arabia
19:24should leave
19:24the holy soil of Islam.
19:27For his open opposition
19:28to the government,
19:29bin Laden had his passport
19:31taken away.
19:32But dissent inside
19:33the royal family
19:34over the direction
19:35of the kingdom
19:35was creating
19:36a base of influential
19:37support for Saudi dissidents.
19:40Bin Laden was able
19:41to arrange an escape.
19:46In Washington,
19:47practically no one
19:48had heard of
19:49Osama bin Laden.
19:51The CIA knew only
19:52that he was a vocal opponent
19:54of the Saudi regime
19:55and of U.S. troop presence.
19:57Troops U.S. officials
19:59felt were a necessary defense
20:01against possible
20:02future attacks
20:02from Iraq.
20:04American forces
20:05are in Saudi Arabia
20:07helping to protect
20:09Saudi interests
20:10as well as American...
20:11Frank Anderson
20:11was with the CIA
20:12from 1968 to 1995
20:15and was considered
20:16one of the agency's
20:17leading authorities
20:18on the Arab Middle East.
20:20What they're saying is
20:21it's the spoiling
20:23our holy land
20:24to have American troops,
20:27infidel troops,
20:29in a land of Muhammad.
20:31This becomes
20:32a religious violation.
20:36And as a Christian,
20:37it's difficult for me
20:38to get into a Muslim
20:39theological argument,
20:41but it's bad Islam.
20:42I reject bin Laden's criticism
20:45as do most Muslims
20:47I know reject his criticism.
20:49In 1991,
20:52Osama bin Laden
20:53took refuge here,
20:54where the White
20:55and Blue Niles meet,
20:57in the ancient city
20:58of Khartoum
20:59in the Sudan.
21:02Across the Red Sea
21:03from Saudi Arabia,
21:04the Sudan is one
21:05of the poorest countries
21:06in the world.
21:07But in 1989,
21:09radical Muslims
21:10backed by the Sudanese army
21:11formed a government
21:13dedicated to transforming
21:14the country
21:15into an Islamic utopia.
21:20in the early 90s,
21:22the Sudan was attracting
21:23Muslims from all
21:24over the world,
21:25including many of the
21:26newly radicalized veterans
21:27of the Afghan war.
21:30President Bashir
21:31remembers bin Laden.
21:35Yes, I met him in Khartoum
21:37after he came here.
21:38What kind of person is he?
21:43He's a very normal person
21:45who's very religious.
21:47He believes in Islam
21:49and, where possible,
21:50the establishment
21:51of an Islamic state.
21:54The time that he spent
21:55in Afghanistan
21:56led him to believe
21:57that this might be achieved
21:59through military means.
22:02In the Sudan,
22:03bin Laden set up
22:04a host of businesses,
22:06among them a tannery,
22:07two large farms
22:08and a major road
22:09construction company.
22:11And he reportedly paid
22:12for 480 Afghan vets
22:14to come work with him.
22:16The Sudan liked
22:17this wealthy Saudi
22:18who was enthusiastic
22:19about investing
22:20in their fledgling
22:21Islamic state.
22:23When bin Laden
22:24finished a major road
22:25construction project,
22:26President al-Bashir
22:27treated him
22:28like a national hero.
22:32But the FBI
22:33and the CIA
22:34were wary.
22:36They had pegged
22:37the Sudan as a haven
22:38for Islamic terrorists.
22:40And the CIA
22:41was picking up
22:42some evidence,
22:43although inconclusive,
22:44that bin Laden
22:45was now sending money
22:46to Islamic militants
22:47around the world.
22:49The intelligence
22:49that was being created
22:51pointed increasingly
22:52to him as someone
22:53that had to be dealt with.
22:54Larry Johnson,
22:55a former CIA officer,
22:57was deputy director
22:58of the State Department's
22:59Office of Counterterrorism
23:01from 1989 to 1993.
23:03But we shouldn't take
23:04as credible their claim
23:06that when they had
23:07Osama in Khartoum,
23:08he was basically
23:09building roads.
23:10No, absolutely not.
23:11I think that's, you know,
23:13that's ridiculous.
23:14Because the fact of the matter
23:15is if he was,
23:16if he's absolutely up
23:17to, you know,
23:18charitable works
23:19and constructive
23:20public projects,
23:21he wouldn't have been
23:22an issue.
23:25Then came a seismic event,
23:27the World Trade Center
23:29bombing.
23:30This was the first act
23:31of Islamic terrorism
23:32on U.S. soil.
23:39The FBI investigation
23:41of the bombing conspiracy
23:42led in many directions.
23:44One led to Egyptian veterans
23:46of the Afghan war,
23:47including Sheikh Omar
23:49Abdel Rahman.
23:50Another eventually led
23:52to this man,
23:53Ramzi Youssef,
23:54who investigators believed
23:55at the time
23:56had a financial link
23:57to Osama bin Laden.
23:59Then when Ramzi Youssef
24:00was captured in Pakistan
24:02in 1995,
24:04end of January,
24:061st of February,
24:07then more information
24:09started to come out
24:10about Osama.
24:11The information
24:11was tenuous
24:12and incomplete,
24:13but it was enough
24:14to lead investigators
24:15to wonder if bin Laden
24:17might be an answer
24:18to their questions.
24:19It turned out that,
24:21because there had been
24:22confusion before,
24:23why was the World Trade Center
24:24taking place?
24:25Who was doing it?
24:26There were lots of theories,
24:27not very good intelligence.
24:28And so the intelligence
24:29community actually started
24:30generating the picture
24:31that Osama bin Laden
24:33was this, if you will,
24:35sort of the new face
24:37of terrorism.
24:38And there's that
24:39aha moment that,
24:41oh, we do have a problem.
24:42We've actually got someone
24:43who doesn't like us
24:44and is wanting to kill us.
24:46Over the next year,
24:47it would appear
24:48that bin Laden
24:48was at the very least
24:50inspiring acts
24:51of terrorism.
24:53First, in August 1995,
24:55bin Laden wrote
24:56an open letter
24:57to King Fahd
24:58of Saudi Arabia
24:59calling for a campaign
25:00of guerrilla attacks
25:02in order to drive
25:03U.S. forces
25:03out of the kingdom.
25:07Three months later,
25:08a bomb exploded
25:09at a U.S. military installation
25:11in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,
25:13killing five American servicemen.
25:17There was no hard evidence
25:18that bin Laden was involved.
25:20The four men arrested
25:22for the act
25:22confessed on Saudi TV
25:24that they had read
25:25communiques
25:25from Osama bin Laden
25:27and Mohammed Massari.
25:32U.S. investigators
25:33wanted to interrogate the men,
25:35but the Saudis
25:37ordered their heads cut off.
25:42Twenty-five days
25:43after the beheadings,
25:44another bomb
25:46tore through
25:46a U.S. military post
25:47in Dharan, Saudi Arabia,
25:50killing 19 more
25:51or American soldiers.
25:53But again,
25:54the FBI
25:54has never been able
25:55to determine
25:56if bin Laden
25:57was involved.
26:00Washington, though,
26:02had seen enough.
26:03Even before
26:04the second bomb attack,
26:05President Clinton
26:06had signed
26:07a top-secret order
26:08that authorized
26:09the CIA
26:09to use any
26:10and all means
26:11to destroy
26:12bin Laden's network.
26:14The U.S.
26:15and Saudi governments
26:16also began
26:17to pressure
26:18the Sudanese
26:19to expel bin Laden
26:20in order to deny
26:21him a base of operations.
26:23Sudanese minister
26:24of information
26:25is Ghazi Salah al-Din.
26:27We could feel
26:28that there was
26:30a big case
26:31in the making
26:32against him.
26:33We both became
26:34convinced
26:35that it was
26:36in the interests
26:37of both of us,
26:40the Sudan
26:41and bin Laden,
26:42that he should leave.
26:44They started
26:44putting pressure
26:45on him
26:45that he should
26:46keep a low profile,
26:47stated frankly
26:49you should shut up.
26:50I remember
26:51discussing
26:51with several
26:52of his people
26:52that I told them
26:54believe me
26:54Sudan is not
26:55a good place
26:55to stay.
26:55One day
26:56they will sell
26:56you to the Saudi.
26:57I said it
26:57in a very frank way.
26:58I suggest
26:59you look
26:59for another place.
27:00Sooner or later
27:01they will either
27:01sell you
27:02or kick you out.
27:07Actually
27:07when we were
27:09asked to send
27:10bin Laden
27:10out of the country
27:11by the Saudis
27:12and others
27:14we told them
27:15that it would
27:15be better
27:15to keep
27:16Usama bin Laden
27:16in Khartoum
27:17because here
27:19he wouldn't
27:19conduct any activity.
27:20He was busy
27:21with his own business
27:23and we could
27:24keep an eye on him.
27:28The Saudis
27:29in their contacts
27:30with us
27:30never mentioned
27:31that they accused
27:31Usama bin Laden
27:32of anything.
27:37The only thing
27:38they asked us
27:38was to just
27:39send him away.
27:42So off he goes
27:43to Afghanistan
27:45which I comment
27:46is probably
27:46the best move
27:47since the Germans
27:48put Illich Lenin
27:50in a boxcar
27:51and sent him
27:51to St. Petersburg
27:52in 1917.
27:53You mean
27:54by letting him leave
27:56or forcing him
27:56to leave
27:57you incited...
27:59By forcing him
28:00to leave
28:00we left an area
28:01where perhaps
28:02we could have
28:02controlled
28:03or monitored him
28:04more closely
28:04and to see
28:05what he was doing.
28:06He was forced
28:07out of the area
28:08into Afghanistan
28:10the high mountains
28:11as he said
28:12of Hindukush
28:12the high mountains
28:13do not bode well
28:14for any
28:15much of intellectual
28:16and political activity
28:17so being disillusioned
28:19by the Sudanese
28:20who pretend to be
28:21at least a model
28:23of a modern
28:23Islamic government
28:25he decided
28:26no
28:26now it is time
28:28to go to war.
28:32Bin Laden
28:33moved back
28:34to Afghanistan
28:34along with
28:35200 of his followers
28:36in the spring
28:37of 1996
28:42that summer
28:43he issued
28:44a fatwa
28:45or religious decree
28:46calling for war
28:47on Americans
28:56The call to wage war
28:58against America
28:58was made
28:59because America
29:00has spearheaded
29:01a crusade
29:02against Islam
29:04sending thousands
29:05of its troops
29:05to the land
29:06of the two holy mosques
29:08meddling in Saudi
29:09affairs and politics
29:10and supporting
29:11its oppressive
29:12corrupt
29:13and tyrannical regime
29:14these are the reasons
29:16behind singling out
29:17America
29:17as a target
29:23In Washington
29:24the CIA and FBI
29:26had joined forces
29:27and established
29:28a special
29:29Bin Laden room
29:30at CIA headquarters
29:31where agents
29:32were working full time
29:34tracking Bin Laden's
29:35money and whereabouts
29:37estimates of his wealth
29:38range from
29:39300 million
29:40which assumes
29:41he has received
29:42his full inheritance
29:43to much lower figures
29:46Mohammed Masari
29:47knew Bin Laden's
29:48accountant
29:48with his limited resources
29:50this again
29:50face facts
29:51we are speaking
29:52about a man
29:52who has maybe
29:53a couple of millions
29:54or 10-20 millions
29:54but not 200 millions
29:56or two
29:57this is just
29:58imagination
29:59fantasy running away
30:01the CIA
30:02was also tracking
30:03Bin Laden associates
30:05who they believed
30:06had set up cells
30:07or operating units
30:08around the world
30:10one man
30:11they were interested in
30:12was a Lebanese-born
30:13American citizen
30:14named Wadi El-Haj
30:16El-Haj
30:17had worked as
30:17Bin Laden's
30:18personal secretary
30:19in the Sudan
30:20El-Haj also
30:22had connections
30:22to several of the men
30:23convicted in the
30:24World Trade Center
30:25bombing case
30:28when investigators
30:29caught up
30:29with El-Haj
30:30he had moved
30:31from the Sudan
30:32to this neighborhood
30:33on the outskirts
30:34of Nairobi, Kenya
30:37in August of 1997
30:38the FBI
30:39and the CIA
30:40decided to come here
30:42and search his house
30:44there was a knock
30:45on the outer gates
30:47El-Haj's mother-in-law
30:48was in Nairobi
30:49visiting her daughter
30:51they came into the house
30:53she agreed to talk to us
30:54only if we obscured
30:56her identity
30:56she was just frightened
30:57to death
30:57and Wadiah wasn't there
30:59he was not there
31:00at the time of the raid
31:01Wadiah was in Afghanistan
31:02when the FBI
31:03and the police came in
31:04what did they say?
31:05they were very pleasant
31:06but the police said
31:07they were looking
31:08for stolen property
31:09and they searched
31:10the whole house
31:10of course Wadiah
31:12being how he is
31:13he had all his little papers
31:15all over the desk
31:16his notebooks
31:17his other personal papers
31:18his little ledgers
31:19his address books
31:21they scooped them all up
31:22and took them
31:23every single one
31:24and they came out
31:26of one of the bedrooms
31:28with Wadiah's PC
31:31and from El-Haj's
31:32personal computer
31:33the FBI downloaded
31:35and translated
31:36a letter written
31:36by one of El-Haj's associates
31:38it showed that
31:40the author was afraid
31:41the cell was under surveillance
31:43there are many reasons
31:44that lead me to believe
31:45that the cell members
31:46in East Africa
31:47are in great danger
31:49my recommendation
31:50to my brothers
31:51in East Africa
31:52was not to be complacent
31:54regarding security matters
31:55and that they should know
31:57that now they have become
31:58America's primary target
32:01the FBI and the CIA
32:03believed that they had
32:04uncovered a significant
32:05terrorist threat
32:06and they reported
32:07their findings
32:08to the embassy
32:08and to the State Department
32:09but without more evidence
32:11they couldn't arrest El-Haj
32:13instead
32:14they encouraged him
32:15and his family to leave
32:17but before they leave
32:18they say
32:19would it be a good idea
32:20if you left the country
32:21yes
32:21they offered to put her
32:23on the next flight
32:23this was the FBI
32:24or this was the
32:25FBI
32:26they said
32:26it might not be safe
32:27for you here
32:28did they mention
32:29anybody's name
32:30like Osama bin Laden
32:31or anything
32:32no I don't remember that
32:34if they had
32:35it went over my head
32:36I didn't hear it
32:37the raid was intended
32:39to disrupt the cell
32:40but other associates
32:41of bin Laden
32:42disappeared into
32:43the Muslim communities
32:44of East Africa
32:45where according
32:46to U.S. government sources
32:47U.S. intelligence
32:49is virtually non-existent
32:54East Africa
32:55is home to a majority
32:57Muslim population
32:58most live in poor
33:00and volatile communities

33:24district commissioners
33:25all over them
33:26majority
33:26they are Christians
33:28so there is anger
33:29growing in the community
33:33Haji's complaints
33:34are not isolated
33:35in early 1998
33:37rioting between
33:39Muslims and
33:40Tanzanian police
33:41caused the U.S. embassy
33:42there to go
33:43on high alert
33:46this footage
33:47was censored
33:48by Tanzanian TV
33:49for fear
33:49that unrest
33:50would spread
33:51to the north
33:58in Nairobi
33:59Kenya
33:59U.S. Ambassador
34:01Prudence Bushnell
34:02was complaining
34:03to the State Department
34:04about local unrest
34:05there
34:05and that her embassy
34:07was vulnerable
34:07because of its location
34:09in a crowded
34:09downtown area
34:11for many reasons
34:12I was uncomfortable
34:13with the location
34:14of the building
34:1597 was a year
34:17of great political
34:18unrest in Kenya
34:20and we had tear gas
34:23seeping through
34:24the embassy walls
34:25the security issues
34:26included
34:29the possibility
34:30of terrorist attack
34:32the possibility
34:33of a terrorist attack
34:35was very real
34:35in Nairobi
34:36in the fall of 1997
34:38in addition to the discovery
34:40of the bin Laden cell
34:41this man
34:42Mustafa Ahmed
34:44said he knew
34:45of a plot
34:45to detonate
34:46a truck bomb
34:47in the basement
34:47of the embassy building
34:48in the midst
34:50of all this
34:51Ambassador Bushnell
34:52asked the State Department
34:53to move her embassy
34:55but she was turned down
34:59by the spring
35:00of 1998
35:01the CIA
35:03had developed
35:03a secret plan
35:04to send commandos
35:05to snatch bin Laden
35:06from his mountain retreat
35:08in Afghanistan
35:13in Afghanistan
35:15bin Laden
35:16was escalating
35:16his war
35:17on America
35:21in May of 1998
35:23he staged a media event
35:25for ABC News
35:26and the world
35:29quiet please
35:30and it's really important
35:31that no one stand up
35:32bin Laden
35:33had invited
35:34ABC's
35:35John Miller
35:35to interview him
35:39bin Laden
35:40adept at using
35:41the world's media
35:42made his own
35:43videotape
35:44of the meeting
35:45which was provided
35:46to Frontline
35:46by a bin Laden
35:47assistant
35:50Mr. Bin Laden
35:51to Americans
35:52you're an interesting figure
35:54a man who comes
35:55from a background
35:56of wealth
35:57and comfort
35:58who ended up
35:59fighting
36:00on the front lines
36:02many Americans
36:03would think
36:03that's unusual
36:05bin Laden
36:06had just issued
36:07a new fatwa
36:08calling for the killing
36:09of Americans
36:10anywhere
36:11at any time
36:15he told Miller
36:16that America
36:17is oppressing Muslims
36:18and plundering
36:19their oil
36:22we believe
36:23he said
36:24that the worst thieves
36:25in the world today
36:26and the worst terrorists
36:27are the Americans
36:29nothing will stop you
36:30except perhaps
36:32retaliation
36:34around the time
36:35of that interview
36:36the director
36:37of the CIA
36:38fearing too many
36:39U.S. casualties
36:40called off
36:41the commando raid
36:42on bin Laden's camp
36:46at the same time
36:47as that fatwa
36:48a man believed
36:50by the FBI
36:50to be a bin Laden
36:52associate
36:52moved into this
36:54upscale section
36:54of Nairobi
36:56the U.S. government
36:57charges that he began
36:58planning a bomb attack
36:59on the U.S. embassy
37:01they believe
37:02that the bomb
37:03was constructed
37:03in the garage
37:07a month later
37:08in Dar es Salaam
37:09several other men
37:10rented this house
37:11and started planning
37:13for a bomb attack
37:14there
37:24the bombs went off
37:26exactly eight years
37:27to the day
37:28after U.S. troops
37:29were ordered
37:30into Saudi Arabia
37:39of the 213 deaths
37:41in Nairobi
37:4212 were Americans
37:46in Dar es Salaam
37:4811 Tanzanians
37:49were killed
37:5010 of them
37:51were Muslims
37:52within days
37:54the FBI
37:55had mobilized
37:56the largest
37:56deployment of
37:57personnel
37:57in the agency's
37:59history
38:03in Washington
38:04the question
38:05was how to
38:06respond
38:06because of
38:08some early breaks
38:09in the case
38:09two men were arrested
38:10for the bombing
38:11almost immediately
38:13Wadi al-haj
38:14was arrested
38:14a month later
38:15for lying to the FBI
38:18but while CIA
38:19and FBI agents
38:20poured through
38:21intelligence reports
38:22at least eight
38:23key suspects
38:24including bin Laden
38:25remained at large
38:27and this secret
38:28FBI Justice Department
38:30document
38:30obtained by Frontline
38:32reveals that there
38:33are two other men
38:34sought by the U.S.
38:35who have not yet
38:36been publicly
38:37identified
38:37one man
38:39is cited
38:39as a possible
38:40tactical mastermind
38:45with almost all
38:47of the suspects
38:47still at large
38:48top administration
38:50officials
38:50were formulating
38:51another plan
38:55over a period
38:56of one week
38:57after the bombings
38:58a small group
38:59of U.S. officials
39:00met at the old
39:00executive office
39:01building
39:02the president's
39:03national security
39:04advisor
39:04Sandy Berger
39:05and his aide
39:06Dick Clark
39:07argued that
39:08relying on law
39:09enforcement
39:09to track down
39:10the bombers
39:11and bring them
39:11to trial
39:12would not be enough
39:13they pushed
39:14for a military
39:15response
39:17the justice department
39:18asked them
39:19to delay their
39:20decision until
39:20they had more
39:21information
39:23but the president's
39:24men prevailed
39:30today
39:32we have struck
39:33back
39:35I ordered
39:36our armed forces
39:37to strike
39:39at terrorist
39:40related facilities
39:41in Afghanistan
39:42approximately
39:4370 cruise missiles
39:44hit three alleged
39:45bin Laden
39:46training camps
39:47an estimated
39:4824 people
39:49were killed
39:50but if they wanted
39:51to kill bin Laden
39:52they failed
39:53in the Sudan
39:55approximately
39:5613 cruise missiles
39:58hit a pharmaceutical
39:59plant
39:59the night
40:00watchman
40:01was killed
40:09in the streets
40:10of Khartoum
40:11President
40:12al-Bashir
40:13led an
40:13anti-U.S.
40:14march
40:20are we absolutely
40:23sure that this
40:24pharmaceutical plant
40:25in Sudan
40:26was producing
40:28nerve gas
40:28in the days
40:29following the bombing
40:30the president's
40:31national security
40:32advisor
40:32Sandy Berger
40:33faced questions
40:34about the missile
40:35strikes
40:35especially the attack
40:37in the Sudan
40:38the response
40:40that we hear
40:41in the Muslim
40:41world
40:41is that the
40:42United States
40:42is willing
40:43to bomb
40:43for instance
40:44the Sudan
40:45a Muslim
40:46country
40:47without warning
40:49without
40:50really solid
40:51knowledge
40:52that there was
40:53something going
40:53on at this
40:54plant
40:54I believe
40:54we had
40:55solid
40:55knowledge
40:56that this
40:56facility
40:56was associated
40:57with chemical
40:58weapons
40:58bin Laden
40:59was working
40:59with the Sudanese
41:00in developing
41:01chemical weapons
41:02the military
41:03industrial corporation
41:05of Sudan
41:07was involved
41:08in its chemical
41:09weapons
41:09facility
41:10its chemical
41:11weapons
41:12enterprise
41:13and I think
41:14we took
41:15the appropriate
41:15action
41:16at the time
41:16we said
41:17that the plant
41:17was producing
41:18chemical weapons
41:19and it had
41:20a financial
41:20link to bin Laden
41:21that's no longer
41:22our position
41:23right
41:23I think
41:24that there may
41:25have been
41:25some individuals
41:26who said
41:26the plant
41:27was producing
41:28I think you did
41:29actually
41:29at the time
41:30I don't think
41:31that
41:31last September
41:32Mr. Berger
41:33stated clearly
41:34that the plant
41:35was producing
41:35a chemical
41:36used to make
41:37lethal VX
41:38nerve gas
41:38which we know
41:40with great
41:42certainty
41:43produces
41:44essentially
41:45the penultimate
41:46chemical
41:46to manufacture
41:48VX nerve gas
41:49now Berger
41:50says the plant
41:51was merely
41:51somehow associated
41:53with chemical
41:53weapons
41:54I don't think
41:54that I think
41:55that is not
42:00necessarily the case
42:01I think it is
42:01certainly true
42:02that the plant
42:03was associated
42:03with chemical
42:04weapons
42:05there were two
42:06problems with the
42:07government's case
42:08first a test
42:10on a soil sample
42:11that the administration
42:11says proves
42:12that the plant
42:13was involved
42:14in chemical
42:14weapons production
42:15is according
42:16to many experts
42:18inconclusive
42:18despite repeated
42:20tests by others
42:21there have been
42:22no independent
42:23confirmations
42:24of the government's
42:25soil test
42:25second
42:26the administration
42:28has failed
42:28to demonstrate
42:29a solid financial
42:30link between
42:31the plant
42:31and bin Laden
42:32Mr. Berger
42:34and others
42:35have said
42:36rest assured
42:37we have the
42:38intelligence
42:38it's there
42:39we're comfortable
42:40with it
42:41trust us
42:42look
42:43if you've got
42:44intelligence sources
42:45and methods
42:46to protect
42:49don't worry about it
42:50bite the bullet
42:52lay the intelligence
42:53on the table
42:53if you've got to
42:54move somebody
42:55out for safety
42:55do that
42:56but lay it
42:56on the table
42:57now
42:57let us see it
42:58this is not
43:00going to go away
43:01the doubts
43:01are not just
43:03lingering
43:04they're growing
43:04doubts about
43:05why did we strike
43:06why did we commit
43:08an act of war
43:10against a sovereign
43:11state with whom
43:12we have
43:13diplomatic relations
43:14commit such an act
43:16without a single
43:18warning ahead of time
43:23after the missile
43:24strikes
43:25anger spread
43:26from the Sudan
43:27to countries
43:28across the Muslim
43:29world
43:38anyone who can
43:40make Americans
43:40react with
43:41cruise missiles
43:42the people seem
43:42to be saying
43:43must really be
43:45somebody
43:59in Mombasa
44:00the heart of
44:01Kenya's Muslim
44:02community
44:02we spoke to
44:04chairman of the
44:04council of imams
44:05in Kenya
44:06Sheikh Ali
44:07Sheikh
44:07what is
44:08Osama bin Laden's
44:10image in the
44:11Islamic community
44:12here
44:12he's a hero
44:13a hero
44:16his friends
44:17have blown up
44:18two embassies
44:19he has declared
44:21war on America
44:22and people in
44:23East Africa
44:24think he's a hero
44:25not in East Africa
44:27everywhere
44:28we take him
44:29as a hero
44:30for Islam
44:31because he has
44:32declared
44:33his loyalty
44:35to Islam
44:36but he's not
44:37terrorist
44:38at all
44:39he's defending
44:40Islam
44:41when the issue
44:42of aggression
44:42comes
44:43to Islam
44:44then he
44:45stands to
44:47defend Islam
44:47when he stands
44:48to defend Islam
44:49then he's called
44:50terrorists
44:53in October 1998
44:54the US Attorney's
44:56Office in New York
44:57filed an indictment
44:58against Osama bin Laden
44:59and members
45:00of his organization
45:01charging them
45:02with concealing
45:03the activities
45:04of co-conspirators
45:05through establishing
45:06front companies
45:07providing false
45:08travel documents
45:09and engaging
45:10in coded correspondence
45:12the government
45:13also charged bin Laden
45:14with killing members
45:15of the American military
45:16stationed in Saudi Arabia
45:17and with killing
45:19United States
45:20embassy officials
45:20in Nairobi
45:21and Dar es Salaam
45:23but it would be
45:24two years
45:25before anyone
45:26stood trial
45:26all the while
45:28bin Laden
45:29remained free
45:29in Afghanistan
45:33during this period
45:34US intelligence
45:35officials now
45:36suspect bin Laden
45:37was plotting
45:37a series of attacks
45:39to coincide
45:40with worldwide
45:40celebrations
45:41of the millennium
45:42New York Times
45:43reporter Judith Miller
45:44has covered
45:44bin Laden
45:45since 1993
45:46The Islamists
45:47were going to
45:48ring in the century
45:49in their own
45:50inimitable fashion
45:51by setting off
45:53explosions
45:54in several capitals
45:55on the border
45:57of Israel
45:58Jordan
45:58Seattle
46:00The new year
46:02came without incident
46:03but the thwarting
46:04of the millennium plots
46:05may have lured
46:06America into complacency
46:09The millennium bombing
46:10tax failed
46:12and we completely
46:13forgot about them
46:14so people didn't
46:16really study
46:16the lessons of them
46:17and my efforts
46:19and the efforts
46:20of my newspaper
46:21to pursue it
46:22ran into a lot
46:23of indifference
46:25What had happened
46:26was that on
46:27December 14th
46:281999
46:28an Algerian man
46:30coming across
46:31the US-Canadian border
46:32near Seattle
46:33was caught
46:34with 100 pounds
46:35of explosives
46:36and timing devices
46:37and confessed
46:38to a plot
46:39to bomb
46:39the Los Angeles airport
46:41The next day
46:42in Amman, Jordan
46:4313 men
46:44were arrested
46:45and charged
46:46with plotting
46:46to blow up
46:47the Radisson Hotel
46:48in Amman
46:48and biblical tourist sites
46:50in the area
46:51For the time being
46:53it seemed
46:53America's defenses
46:54were working
46:55A few officials
46:56however
46:57were extremely nervous
46:58A small group
46:59of FBI
47:01and White House officials
47:02in the Clinton
47:02administration
47:03were absolutely
47:04convinced
47:04that what they were
47:05seeing in the
47:06millennium bombing
47:07attempts
47:08would be a prescription
47:09for the future
47:10In October of 2000
47:12terrorists bombed
47:14the USS Cole
47:15in Yemen
47:1617 US sailors
47:17were killed
47:18The lesson
47:19of the Cole
47:21is that he is relentless
47:22that he learns
47:23from his mistakes
47:24that he is patient
47:26and that he doesn't
47:28give up
47:29In January of 2001
47:31the trial opened
47:33in the East African
47:34Embassy bombing case
47:35Through key witnesses
47:37from high up
47:38within Bin Laden's
47:39organization
47:39investigators
47:40got their best
47:41glimpse yet
47:42of how his
47:43network functions
47:44When you put together
47:45the entire picture
47:47starting with
47:48the World Trade Center
47:49running through
47:51the attacks
47:52in Dahrani
47:54Saudi Arabia
47:55up to and including
47:56the bombings
47:57of the U.S. embassies
47:58in East Africa
47:59and finally
48:00with the USS Cole
48:03once you see
48:04that the person
48:04the same person
48:05is at least
48:06popping up
48:07with a relationship
48:08in each of those acts
48:10where he may not
48:11have been the one
48:11that placed the explosive
48:12where he may not
48:13have been the one
48:14that came up
48:14with the original idea
48:15he is a suspect
48:17because he is
48:19the where's Waldo
48:20of terrorism
48:22every picture
48:22he pops up
48:23where there's a
48:24terrorist incident
48:25of some significance
48:26against the United States
48:28investigators
48:28investigators also began
48:30to understand
48:30that bin Laden
48:31was working
48:32with other major
48:32terrorist organizations
48:34most notably
48:35with Ayman al-Zawahiri
48:36of the Egyptian Jihad
48:38who was charged
48:39with killing
48:39American tourists
48:40in Luxor, Egypt
48:41in 1995
48:44in 2001
48:45bin Laden
48:46surfaced again
48:47in a videotape
48:48that circulated widely
48:49in the Islamic world
48:51on the tape
48:52he read a victory poem
48:53about the USS
48:54coal bombing
48:55then he issued
48:56a new call to arms
48:58against America
48:59with limited capabilities
49:01and with our faith
49:02bin Laden said
49:03we can defeat
49:04the greatest military power
49:06of modern times
49:07America is much weaker
49:09than it appears
49:10actually these warnings
49:12from bin Laden himself
49:14have been very rare
49:15the people in intelligence
49:17and law enforcement
49:18that I know
49:19were rattled
49:20by this warning
49:21but they didn't quite know
49:23what to do about it
49:24I know people
49:25at the White House
49:27at last July 4th
49:28who didn't sleep
49:29for days
49:30they were so worried
49:31about what might be
49:32coming our way
49:33and at the end
49:34of the holiday
49:35people were talking
49:37about dodging bullets
49:38about how to do
49:40how lucky we were
49:41this time
49:42the reports are preliminary
49:43and they are
49:45as awful as the pictures
49:46that you are seeing
49:47there
49:47Osama bin Laden
49:48connection
49:49strong indications
49:50that Osama bin Laden
49:51and his organization
49:52the declaration of war
49:53by terrorists
49:54on the United States
49:55among all the questions
49:57whirling in the chaos
49:58of September 11th
49:59there is one
50:00that may endure
50:01the longest
50:02why did the intelligence
50:03agencies of the world's
50:04last superpower
50:05fail so tragically
50:07to uncover
50:08this enormous
50:08operation in time
50:10we're spending now
50:12over 10 billion dollars
50:13a year on counterterrorism
50:15every eye and ear
50:17of the US government
50:17was trained
50:18on this part of the world
50:20Afghanistan
50:20on these networks
50:22in Europe
50:23in the Middle East
50:24this is really hard work
50:27and I don't think
50:28it serves anybody's interest
50:30at this point
50:30to try and blame
50:32start playing the blame game
50:34it's only going to be
50:35a waste of time
50:36and energy
50:37that we desperately
50:38need focus
50:38on what is going to be
50:39a long-term effort
50:40to root out
50:42these networks
50:42which are even
50:43in our country
50:44and to really
50:46fight terrorism
50:52it has to be said
50:54and said again
50:55Osama bin Laden
50:57is only a suspect
50:58in the terrorist attacks
50:59this week
50:59but the existence
51:01of men like bin Laden
51:02their hostility
51:03to America
51:04their grievances
51:05real or imagined
51:06confront us
51:07with a great challenge
51:08it's going to be
51:09difficult to prove
51:10who is waging
51:11this terrorist war
51:12across political boundaries
51:13and apparently
51:14beyond any state's control
51:15so how do we bring
51:17the guilty to justice
51:18without making martyrs
51:19of them
51:19and can we
51:20distinguish
51:21between those
51:22who commit the crimes
51:23and the innocent
51:24who share their culture
51:25but not their cause
51:26not only our security
51:28as a nation
51:29is at stake
51:29but our values
51:30as a people
51:31for Frontline
