(中央社華盛頓11日綜合外電報導)美國中央情報局(CIA)今天解密並公布100多頁曾提供前總統柯林頓與小布希的總統每日簡報,內容涉及911恐攻前蓋達組織與首腦賓拉登構成的威脅。

美國有線電視新聞網(CNN)報導,美國民眾首度得以一窺柯林頓(Bill Clinton)與小布希(George W. Bush)曾看過但未能採取行動的情資。

這些文件顯示,多年來不斷有情報警告蓋達組織(al-Qaeda)首腦賓拉登(Osama bin Laden)考慮在美國本土或美國海外據點發動攻擊,還有情報顯示他想攻擊華府購物中心、取得核彈原料、發動化學武器攻擊或綁架美國人。

情報史學家原本就了解美國政府在攻擊發生前掌握的情況,以及政府為何未能預見這些攻擊;這些文件並未從根本上改變他們的認知。

美國911恐怖攻擊事件國家委員會2004年發布的報告指出,儘管情報界先後向兩屆政府警告蓋達組織威脅,卻未能充分預測或傳達這些威脅的規模與迫切性。情報機關各自運作,使得不同單位的情報分析人員無法有效整合資訊。

研究那段時期的學者認為,當時也是CIA深陷不確定性的時期。CIA成立主要目的之一是因應蘇聯,但在蘇聯解體後還不完全清楚CIA應如何重新定位或應將重點放在何處。柯林頓時代華府流傳一則笑話:如果有一架小飛機墜落在白宮草坪上,那一定是CIA局長設法聯絡上總統。

法新社報導,CIA在聲明中表示,這次前所未見地公開美國最機密的情報資料,涵蓋9/11前後重要時刻,呈現CIA分析人員如何逐步了解蓋達組織,並努力在情報稀少、模糊且不完整的情況下凸顯並警告賓拉登攻擊計畫。

一份1998年9月10日的簡報部分內容遭刪除,這份簡報提及蓋達組織「可能駕駛一架載滿炸藥的飛機飛入美國城市」。 同年12月4日的簡報稱賓拉登「及其同夥正準備在美國發動攻擊,包括劫機」。

CIA於2001年8月6日發布最後警告,標題為「賓拉登決意在美國發動攻擊」。報告指出當時美國境內進行70起「與賓拉登有關」的全面調查。但報告也承認「我們無法證實部分較為聳動的威脅情報」,包括1998年情報稱「賓拉登想要劫持美國飛機」。
