FYI: American as well as international intelligence agencies had been reporting Bin Ladin and associates as terrorists threats since 1979.....It's just that back then, the US was giving them guns because they were killing Russians, not Americans....After the Russians were no longer a threat, Radical Islam groups focused their intents on Western Culture as a whole. They live to fight......Bin Ladin is Saudi Ararbian.....not even Iranian, Iraqi, Pakistani, or Afghan.............
