Background to the investigation: (*/OC/NF) \Uj
On September 11, 2001, numerous complaints received byFBI-NK revealed that several individuals had been observedcelebrating following the initial crash of an aircraft into theTwin Towers. T-l, a resident of Union City, NJ, advised that at
telephone to tell T-l that T-2 saw smoke coming from the WTC. In
order to see the WTC more closely, T-l used 7x33mm (likely7x35mm) power binoculars to view the scene from the rear windowof T-l's apartment. While looking in the direction of the WorldTrade Center (WTC), T-l observed three (3) males kneeling on theroof of a white van located in the rear parking lot of T-l'sapartment complex. It appeared as though they noticed T-l as
well. fS^OC/NF) fmT-l described the males as white, mid-twenties, no
facial hair, no glasses, "clean-cut," no hats, all wearing shortsleeves, with lean builds. Other identifying data was alsoprovided. T-l described the white van as a nbox"-style van which [JX^

D ft>bl
had no windows on the sicte; it reminded T-l of a telephonecompany van. <*/OC/-N-F)fvA
j
According to T-l, one of the males appeared to betaking still photographs and video of the other males with theWTC in the background. All of the males appeared to be jovial in
that they smiled, hugged one another, and gave "high fives."(See attached photos) . As the vehicle later left that area, T-lrecorded the license plate as JRJ-13Y. Later that day when T-l f s
spouse returned home, T-l provided the police with theinformation pertaining to the males. tS/OC/NF) ( \j\
Another complaint received by FBI-NK revealed a secondeyewitness who reported having observed a white van in the sameparking lot as described by T-l. This eyewitness, however,observed the van in the parking lot as early as 8:00am on themorning of the explosions at WTC. (&/OC/-N"F)^U^)
A third complainant later reported having seen, onSeptember 11, 2001 (time not noted), a "big, white, model 2000Chevrolet van, or possibly panel truck or U-Haul truck, bearingthe words "Urban Movers" in black lettering along the side. Thevehicle was observed in the Liberty State Park's Marine Terminalin Jersey Cit^, NJ, located across the Hudson River from WTC.(•S^OC/NF) (\i \
Pursuant to this information, East Rutherford, NJpolice authorities stopped an Urban Moving Systems van at a pre-positioned roadblock. The van, occupied by males similar tothose described by witnesses, was traveling eastbound along StateRoute 3 in New Jersey. Following the stop, the police detainedfive (5) individuals, all believed to be Israeli Nationals, on
the grounds that they may have possessed information pertainingto the WTC explosions. The matter was later forwarded to FBI-NKfor further investigation. The individuals were detained forquestioning and later held for violations of their immigrationstatus. fW-OC/NF) f l\
)
A search of the van and individuals was conducted atthe time of the vehicle stop. The vehicle was also searched by a
trained bomb-sniffing dog which yielded a positive result for thepresence of explosive traces. Swabs of the vehicle's interior /(£\

were taken, and those samples were sent to the crime laboratoryfor further analysis. (i/OC/RF)/^
J
Seizure of the individuals' property yielded thefollowing: a 35mm camera, several personal telephone-stylenotebooks, back packs, airline tickets with immediate traveldates for destinations world-wide, Israeli passports (in somecase, expired), a German passport, and thousands of dollars of
cash. Student identification cards later believed to be falsewere also found. Oddly, equipment typically used in a movingcompany's daily duties was not found, including work gloves,
blankets, straps, ropes, boxes, dollies, rollers, etc. Also notfound was the video camera that T-l observed at least one of the
males using to film the explosion at WTC. f&/OC/NF) (\\\
The five (5) detained Israeli Nationals^and|_
bob7C
were interviewed subject to tne nmn:ea scope of determiningwhether a video camera had been used, and, if so, where the videocamera was to be located now. The results of the individualinterviews yielded a wide array of discrepancies with respect to
the whereabouts of each of the individuals as it applied to timeperiod of the attack on the WTC. 4*/0C/NF)l U )

which was subsequently corroborated by reviewing the photographstaken by the Israelis (themselves) that day. One such photograph b6
depicts|

A review of EZ-Pass records provided little by way ofdetermining the exact location of the Israeli's vehicle (whitevan) during the actual time of the attack. According to EZ-Pass
,
the Urban Moving Systems van used by the Israelis to travel fromBrooklyn, NY (location of their residences) to Weehawken, NJ onthe morning of September 11, 2001 passed through the Brooklyn, NYentrance to the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel at 7:48 am. ffttoC/NF/(^\
FBI-NK obtained the videotape of a local newshelicopter crew which provided footage of the explosion beginningjust minutes after the initial impact of the aircraft into theNorth Tower (Tower #1) of the WTC. A comparison of thisvideotape with the still photographs taken by the Israelisimplied that the Israelis photographs were taken closer in timeto the explosion of Tower #2 (South Tower) than to the initialimpact into Tower #1. This comparison, albeit non-scientific,corroborated the three Israelis 1 claim that they departed UrbanMoving Systems for the parking lot observation point afterhearing of the initial explosion. (lA)

The FAA ! s radartraffic records identify a helicopter, belonging to a local radiostation AM 880, slowly traveling in a southerly direction downthe Hudson River and then hovering from 8:50 am until 9:03 am,

According to T-l, it was the call from T-2, who is T-l ! s neighbor and close friend, which initially prompted T-l tolook out of the window towards the WTC. It was at that time thatT-l had also observed the Israelis atop the white van. Since T-lbelieved that T-2 !

Shock Video: Who Shot New 9/11 Tapes?
SHOCK VIDEO: WHO SHOT NEW 9/11 TAPES?Did Al Qaeda shoot recently released footage of 9/11 WTC attackv or was it someone else?
by Justin Raimondo
I shivered, a little, as I watched Lisa Meyers' report on NBC theother night:
http://www, msnbc.com/news/1001433.asp?0cv=CB10
"New and threatening messages have been received from Al
Qaeda. There's a videotape aimed at American and Saudi Arabianrulers and another that includes what appears to bewell-produced footage of the 9/11 attacks v raising still otherquestions."
This new 9/11 footage sure does raise a lot of other questions,first and foremost: who shot the video? It was posted on what is
described as "a known Al-Qaeda website" last Wednesday,although it was taken down after a few days. Aside from theusual militaristic gymnastics by jihadi commandos, Meyersreports:
"The tape also contains what U.S. counterterror experts say maybe never-before-broadcast video of the Sept. 11, 2001, attackson New York's World Trade Center shot from across the EastRiver in Brooklyn. The FBI says it is familiar with the video, whichwas provided by a friendly bystander. But that raises the questionv how did a tape that was not widely circulated end up on aknown Al Qaeda site?"
It's sinister to contemplate. Video believed to have been in U.S.government hands somehow pops up on a website alleged to bean Al Qaeda mouthpiece, and U.S. government officials hold it upas a reason to cower in fear before the threat of another majorterrorist attack on American soil. Meanwhile, the President aversthat Iraq is the central arena in his "war on terrorism," and his
supporters claim that we're battling them in the streets ofBaghdad so we don't have to fight them in the streets of Boise vor whatever alliterative cliche first comes to mind.http: //www,weeklvstandard.com/Conte... 03/425kcolb.asp
The idea that Al Qaeda had additional agents in the area, whoknew the attack was coming, would certainly explain the

unflinching steadiness of the camera's eye as it recorded theterror of that moment. But instead of inventing additionalelements and players, it's always best to stick with what wealready know. So who else just happened to be videotaping theWorld Trade Center attack that day?
Hours after the terrorists struck, five people were arrested in NewJersey as they taped the WTC from their vantage point across theHudson River in New Jersey. A witness identified only as "Maria"by ABC News said she saw:http://www.haaretzdaily.com/hasen/p. )tsID=0&listSrc=Yhttp://abcnews.qo.com/sections/2Q20. ..van 020621.html
"Three young men kneeling on the roof of a white van in theparking lot of her apartment building. 'They seemed to be takinga movie/ Maria said. The men were taking video or photos ofthemselves with the World Trade Center burning in thebackground, she said.
"What struck Maria were the expressions on the men's faces.'They were like happy, you know - They didn't look shocked tome, I thought it was very strange,' she said."
Even stranger v it turned out the five were Israelis. When lawenforcement swooped down on this crew, they found them in
possession of $4,700 in cash, box cutters, and multiple foreignpassports. Police dogs reacted as if the presence of explosiveswas indicated, and, as the Bergen County Record reported:http://www.forward.com/issues/2002/02.03.15/news2.html
"Sources close to the investigation said they found other evidencelinking the men to the bombing plot. 'There are maps of the cityin the car with certain places highlighted/ the source said. 'It
looked like they're hooked in with this. It looked like they knewwhat was going to happen when they were at Liberty StatePark.'"
These guys were held for three months, much of the time in
solitary confinement, and extensively interrogated. One refusedto take a lie detector test for weeks, and then failed it All fivehad been in the employ of Urban Moving Systems, ofWeehawken, New Jersey, the company name on their van'sregistration.
Police raided the Urban Moving Systems warehouse 48 hourslater, and carted away a lot of computer hard drives and othermaterials. The owner, one Dominik Suter, fled to Israel the nextday. A few months later, Suter's name turned up on a list ofterrorist suspects circulated by the FBI to European financialinstitutions.
http://www.antiwar.com/iustin/CI-Q8-02.pdf
The apprehended Israelis claimed that they were merely"documenting" the day's events: police confiscated theirphotographic equipment, and whatever film they had taken. The

new film shows the World Trade Center burning from theBrooklyn side of the East River, while the Urban Movers werefilming from the vantage point of Liberty State Park, across theHudson River in New Jersey. But whomever had foreknowledge ofthe attack on the World Trade Center could have taken that film vand Al Qaeda operatives are not the only possible suspects.
I have written at length about the five arrested Israelis in my newbook, The Terror Enigma: 9/11 and the Israeli Connection, and I
commend the attention of my readers to this modest little volumeif they want to know more. I bring this up, not merely to plug mybook, but to point out that we can't begin to understand thestrange expropriation of this previously unknown footage outsidethe context provided by The Terror Enigma.http://www .iuniverse.com/bookstore/.. .suadz b6J9qGKNA
As I prove in my book, Al Qaeda did not carry out its plans for amajor terrorist attack entirely undetected. The Israelis were hoton the trail of the 9/11 hijackers, and must have had someforeknowledge of what happened that fateful day.http://irag-info.laccesshost.com/schrom.html
Did they shoot the footage we are just now seeing, or was an AlQaeda film team at the ready the moment the twin towers werehit? Readers of The Terror Enigma will understand how and whythe former scenario is just as likely the latter.
As to how, in that case, the video passed into the hands of AlQaeda's propagandists v it wouldn't be the first time the fruits ofIsraeli spying operations in the U.S. fell into the hands ofAmerica's enemies.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/fr/576453/Dosts
In any case, how this new 9/11 footage, previously known only tothe FBI and a "friendly bystander," wound up in Al Qaeda'spossession v or in the hands of a website claiming to representthem v is a mystery that the U.S. government seems quiteuninterested in unraveling.
NOTES IN THE MARGIN
The U.S. is how completely enclosing Iraqi villages in barbedwire. A more appropriate metaphor for the occupation of Iraqcouldn't be created by any novelist. Like the Israelis, theAmerican occupiers are requiring an internal passport of all
travelers coming into and going out of these villages. And,speaking of Israel, we are now doing to the Iraqis what ArielSharon and his ultra-rightist Likud party bloc have been dishingout to the Palestinians: arresting and detaining the relatives of"suspected guerrillas."
I can hear all the weeping and wailing on the part of the "liberal"wing of the War Party, crying out that this is hardly going to win

"hearts and minds." The point is that it isn't meant to: turningIraq's villages into concentration camps is designed to humiliatedemean, and ultimately subjugate a proud people who refuse to'be conquered. That's the real face of the American "liberation" vflat out ugly.

Anyone with a video camera in West Brooklyn, East NJ, or SouthManhattan would have started recording that event once thenews of the first plane hitting the tower became publicknowledge.
Justin Raimondo is hawking his book "The Terror Enigma: 9/11and the Israeli Connection". As to the reason why antiwar comignores all evidence to the contrary while truth and reality take aback seat -- anti-semitism is an ugly thing.

Supports couldn't take the strain as the columns were damaged.The dvd itself is more if you want to know the physical aspects asto why they collapsed more than the social/political.

The Terror Enigma: Israel and the September 11 Connectionby Justin Raimondo
"Remember 9/11!" is the rallying cry of the War Party; what we are remembering, however, is
a half-truth. It is time to draw the curtain on the largely ignored prehistory of September 11.Although Bush-administration officials deny that they had even a hint of what was to come,government agencies were literally awash with warnings from the intelligence services ofother nations—including the British, the French, the Germans, the Russians, the Argentines,the Israelis, the Egyptians, the Moroccans, and the Jordanians,
The Israelis had warned us in August 2001, when they sent a delegation to Washington,handed over a list of 19 individuals in the United States whom they believed to be planningterrorist activities, and issued a nonspecific warning that a major terrorist attack was afoot.Yet there are indications that the Mossad knew about Muhammad Atta and his gang longbefore they let U.S. law enforcement in on the secret.
In the months before September 11, the Mossadhad launched a major covert operation in theUnited States, involving hundreds of agents who not only kept a close watch on the terroristsbut may have effectively blinded U.S. antiterrorism investigators to the activities of Al Qaedain the United States. The evidence can be found in the U.S. government's own documents,leaked by its own employees, and in its public pronouncements before the decision was madeto quash this story at any cost.
In March 2001, the National Counterintelligence Center—whose mandate empowers it toidentify and assess possible threats to U.S. national security—posted the following warning onits website :
In the past six weeks, employees in federal office buildings located throughout theUnited States have reported suspicious activities connected with individualsrepresenting themselves as foreign students selling or delivering artwork.Employees have observed both males and females attempting to bypass facility
security and enter federal buildings. If challenged, the individuals state that theyare delivering artwork from a studio in Miami, Florida, called Universal Art, Inc, orthat they are art students and are looking for opinions regarding their work. Theseindividuals have been described as aggressive. They attempt to engage employeesin conversation rather than giving a sales pitch.
The NCIC warned that "these individuals have also gone to the private residences of seniorfederal officials under the guise of selling art." How they discovered the home-addresses ofthese senior officials, the NCIC did not say. At that point, two of the "students" had beenarrested for immigration violations: The suspects possessed counterfeit immigration papersand identification. Later, many more would be picked up—nearly 200—and summarilydeported to their country of origin: Israel.
The NCIC alert was the earliest premonition, some six months before the event, of September11. It was the first known instance—and possibly the last—in which the "antiterrorism"apparatus set up by the U.S. government actually worked, to some extent. The NCIC endedits warning with what turned out to be an accurate assessment of the threat:
Other reporting indicates that there may be two groups involved, and they refer tothemselves as "Israeli art students." One group has an apparently legitimate

-0n November 23, 2001, the Washington Post ran a story by JohnMmtz deta. ing how along with the 1,000 or so Muslim Middle Easterners jailed in the Ashcroftsweep 60 Israelis had been picked up and held, not just for routine visa violations, but in
connection with the September 11 investigation. The Post's subhead read: "Government callsSeveral Cases of Special Interest,' Meaning Related to Post-Attacks Investigation."

'
mtZ\ af°Unt' INS officials in cleve|and and St. Louis testified in court thatthese Israelis were "of special interest to the government'-putting them in the samecategory as hundreds of mostly Arab men rounded up by the feds since the attacks.
Over the next eight or nine months, the rest of the story would come out, though it would beobscured by denials and submerged by an oddly indifferent media. "It is rather stranqe "
remarked Janes Defense Intelligence Digest (March 13, 2002), "that the US media seems tobe ignoring what may well be the most explosive story since the 11 September attacks-thealleged break-up of a major Israeli espionage operation in the USA." (The Post's story blandly

'Fox News ran the first in a series of investigative reports that blewthe whistle on a vast Israeli spy network operating on American soil-and openly posed the
question of whether the Israelis had foreknowledge of September 11. According to Jane'swhat is striking about Fox News reporter Carl Cameron's portrait of Israel's spy network in theU.S is the sheer vastness of his subject. The broad scope of the operation, with its manyfronts and activities conducted from coast to coast, had all the aspects of a major militarycampaign. In the months leading up to 9/11, Cameron claimed, Israel was waging a covertwar against its principal ally and benefactor, the United States.
Over four nights, Cameron reported the myriad details of Israel's far-flung underground armyin the United States. He noted that some of the 60 detainees arrested in the wake ofSeptember 11 were active Israeli military officers. Some had failed polygraph tests when theywere asked about surveillance activities against and in the United States."
Cameron showed how the Mossad had thoroughly penetrated top-secret communicationssystems. He cited veteran law-enforcement agents afraid for their jobs if they questionedIsrael s role. What really caught the attention of viewers, however, was the followingstatement from his first broadcast:
There is no indication that the Israelis were involved in the 9-11 attacks butinvestigators suspect that the Israelis may have gathered intelligence about theattacks in advance, and not shared it. A highly placed investigator said thereare-quote-"tie-ins." But when asked for details, he flatly refused to describethem, saying-quote-"evidence linking these Israelis to 9-11 is classified. I cannottell you about evidence that has been gathered. It's classified information."
Cameron's bombshell should have provoked a frenzy of media interest and calls for an officialinvestigation. That no such call was ever made is a story in itself.

'Cameron focuses on a single aspect of a multilayered Israeliintelligence operation that became increasingly visible in the months precedingSeptember 11:

The leaked document describes in excruciating detail the doggedly-persistent efforts of Israelisclaiming to be "art students" to get into the offices and even the homes of federallaw-enforcement agents and government officials.
A March 5, 2002, article in Le Monde by Sylvain Cypel was more specific "More than a t-hirH nfhese,

Another important piece of the puzzle is found in an October 14, 2002, article bv OliverSchrom in the German weekly Die Zeit. Schrom writes:

Justin Raimondo explores the ^aelisU|nhection to 9/1
Florida from December 2000 to April 2001 in direct proximity to the Israeli spycells."
The MossadI
was particularly interested in Muhammad Atta, the terrorist leader, and Marwanal-Shehi who lived in Hollywood, Florida. Die Zeit reports that the Mossad was watchinq theterrorist leader and his chief accomplices very closely:
Everything indicates that the terrorists were constantly observed by the IsraelisThe chief Israeli agent was staying right near the post office where the terroristshad a mailbox. The Mossad also had its sights on Atta's accomplice Khalidal-Midhar, with whom the CIA was also familiar, but allowed to run free.
The title of the Die Zeit piece-"Next Door to Mohammed Atta"-may be a bit of an -
overstatement, however. As Schrom writes:
[Muhammad Atta and Marwan al-Shehi] lived in Hamburg before they settled inHollywood, Florida[,] in order to plan the attacks. A Mossad team was alsooperating in the same town. The leader, Hanan Serfati, had rented severaldwellings. "One of Serfati's apartments was located on the corner of 701st St and21st Ave. [sic] in Hollywood, right near the apartment of Atta and al-Shehi
"
French intelligence reported later.'
There is just one problem: There is no 701st Street and 21stAvenue in Hollywood, FloridaSerfati s rental was at 701 South 21st Street, about a half-mile from Atta's 1818 Jackson
'
Street address. Serfati rented several apartments in the area, however, and one could easilyhave been next door to Mohammed Atta" and his confederates, who moved around quite abit. In addition, the geographical congruity of the Israeli "art students" and the hijackinqconspirators was not limited to South Florida, as John Sugg has pointed out in a March 202002, piece for the Weekly Planet :
'
r
Many of the apparent operatives had set up shop at addresses only stones' throwsfrom Arabs in San Diego, Little Rock, Irving, Texas, and in South Florida. ThePlanet also has obtained a watch list of mostly Arabs under scrutiny by the U.S.government. The addresses of many correspond to the specific areas where theIsraelis established bases.
While the Israelis were closely observing Atta and his friends, they did not inform the U Sgovernment what they were up to until August 2001: Der Spiegel reported (October 1 2002)that they handed over a list of 19 terrorist suspects, with at least four of the hijackers on it, "afew weeks before" September 11, but the federal government says that the warning was forattacks "outside the United States."
The warning was nonspecific, indicating only that these were potential terrorists And thereare other discrepancies thatcloud the picture of Israeli cooperation in this matter. If theIsraelis had decided in August to come clean with the information they had, why were federalagents still arresting and detaining our "partners" in the "War on Terrorism" in late Novemberand early December?
