The CIA’s inspector general has concluded the CIA had no comprehensive strategy for dealing with al-Qaeda before the Sept. 11th attacks and failed to act on information indicating that suspected al-Qaeda members had been dispatched to the United States. The newly declassified report released states that the CIA had identified two of the 9/11 hijackers as threats over a year before the attacks. But the CIA failed to rapidly pass their names — Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar — on to the State Department or to the FBI. The report said that between January and March 2000, up to 60 individuals read CIA cables about how the two men were expected to travel to the United States. It wasn’t until late August 2001 that the men were put on watch lists that might have resulted in their capture before the attacks.
