Mossad Warned U.S.

In light of increasing reports that the U.S. intelligence community ignored warnings of a coming major terrorist attack, supporters of Israel noted the following in the London Daily Telegraph. The paper reported that officials of the Mossad, Israel\'s equivalent of the CIA, traveled to Washington last month to warn the CIA and the FBI that a cell of up to 200 terrorists was planning a major operation on the American mainland. They offered no specific information about targets, but they did link the plot to Osama bin Laden, and added that there were \"strong grounds\" for suspecting Iraqi involvement. The Telegraph quoted a US administration official as saying that it was \"quite credible\" that the CIA did not heed the Mossad warning, as it \"has a history of being over-cautious about Israeli information.\"
