Trump links Iran war to 9/11 in Pentagon anniversary speech: ‘That’s why we fight today’

WASHINGTON — Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush were warned repeatedly that Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was scheming to attack the US using hijacked passenger jets — but still failed to stop the 9/11 attacks, according to a devastating cache of files released by the Trump administration Friday.

The formerly classified documents, some of which were previously described in press reports, buttress post-attack assessments that Washington did too little to counteract bin Laden’s Islamist terror band, leading to the deaths of nearly 3,000 people on Sept. 11, 2001.

The documents claimed Al Qaeda members were present in the US and had even performed a “trial run” at a New York airport nearly three full years before the staggering assault that took down the Twin Towers.

“Bin Laden [sic] Preparing To Hijack US Aircraft,” a Dec. 4, 1998, document prepared for Clinton’s Presidential Daily Brief ominously warned.

“Some members of the Bin Laden network have received hijack training, according to various sources,” the document said. “Bin Laden could be weighing other types of operations against US aircraft.”

The document added that a source had revealed that “Bin Laden might implement plans to hijack a US aircraft before the beginning of Ramadan on 20 December and that two members of the operational team had evaded security checks during a recent trial run at an unidentified New York airport.”

Saudi Arabia and the 9-11 Attacks - 8/31/2026

Today's Show: SAUDI ARABIA & THE 9-11 ATTACKS
Chris discusses newly released information about the role of Saudi Arabia in the 9-11 attack on the World Trade Center back in 2001. The FBI has affirmed that certain video shows a Saudi Arabian spy recording information in the U.S. several years before the attack -- during the Clinton administration. We discuss the details of how Bill Clinton graduated from Georgetown University along with Prince Turki Faisal, who was the head of Saudi Arabian intelligence during the time the attack was planned. We review audio clips of the long time friendship between Clinton and Faisal. Meanwhile, in 2014, Zacarias Moussaoui (known as the "20th hijacker") claimed that Prince Turki Faisal and his wife were the "real masterminds of 9/11."

Nation on High Alert After 2 Terrorist Attacks

Following two recent homegrown terrorist attacks in New York and Texas, federal authorities are on high alert for potential future strikes.

Updated Mar 10, 2026




In the last week, our nation has experienced 2 homegrown terrorist attacks: 1 in Texas and another in New York. As federal authorities warn that more attacks may be in the future, we’re all on high alert. When will the next strike take place?

After Saturday’s attempted bombing in New York, near the mayor’s home, Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch believes this was a confirmed and attempted terrorist attack:

“As alleged, both defendants have admitted that they acted on Saturday because of ISIS," she said.

Mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, added that the two suspects, Amir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi, came to New York from PA with the intent to declare terrorism as an act against anti-Islam protests.

“There is video of these individuals throwing two devices towards the protest," Mamdani noted. "The police department has determined that these were improvised explosive devices made to injure, maim, or worse."

Since being taken into custody at the scene of the crime, Police Commissioner Tisch confirmed that the devices found on the two suspects were indeed IEDs, improvised explosive devices, that could have caused serious injury or death. Further analysis even revealed that one of the IEDs contained triacetone triperoxide, known as TATP. TATP is a “highly volatile homemade explosive that has been used in IED attacks around the world. Our bomb squad then rendered safe both devices,” said Tisch.

In response to the attacks, New York police have increased protection across the state and deployed over 1,000 National Guard members for ample security. The NY Times suggests that the attacks seem to be a direct response to President Trump’s orders with the Defense Department in November to “prepare to intervene militarily in the West African nation, citing a need to protect Christians from Islamic militants.”

'Catastrophic Escalation In An Illegal Act Of War': Mamdani Reacts To US-Israeli Strikes On Iran

 

The pope urges an end to Iran conflict

01-03-2026 02:50 PM

Ammon News -Pope Leo XIV said Sunday he was “profoundly concerned” about the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran and urged both sides to “stop the spiral of violence before it becomes an irreparable abyss.”

In the first reaction to the attacks, the American pope called for the resumption of diplomacy and a “reasonable, authentic and responsible” dialogue based on justice. Weapons, he said, only sow “destruction, pain and death.”

“Faced with the possibility of a tragedy of enormous proportions, I make a heartfelt appeal to the parties involved to assume their moral responsibility to stop the spiral of violence before it becomes an irreparable abyss,” Leo said.

Romania evacuates border village after Russian drone attack on gas tanker

Three Romanian villages have been evacuated after Russia attacked a Turkish LNG tanker off the coast of neighbouring Ukraine on Monday. 

The MR Orinda suffered significant damage during a Russian strike in Ukraine's southern Odesa region and scores of people were evacuated, mostly from the border village of Tulcea in the Nato member state, over fears it could explode. 

It was hit during the offloading of liquefied petroleum gas at Izmail port, Turkey said, with the attack coming one day after Volodymyr Zelensky signed a deal to import US liquefied natural gas through the area.
