U.S. investigators are looking into the possibility radical Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki was overlooked as a key player in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
In a letter obtained by Fox News, congressman Peter King of New York wrote to Attorney General Eric Holder saying investigators believe it is more than coincidence the American cleric had contact with three of the five hijackers who flew a plane into the Pentagon on September 11.
Extracts from the letter confirm the House Homeland Security Committee are investigating: 'To what extent Anwar al-Awlaki wittingly or unwittingly facilitated the plot of the 9/11 hijackers.'

Investigated: Anwar al-Awlaki, a U.S.-born cleric linked to al-Qaeda in Yemen speaking from an undisclosed location

While they are also trying to establish: 'To what extent al-Awlaki was an al Qaeda operative, offering support to acts of terrorism prior to 9/11.'
The revelation indicates that the full story behind the terrorist attacks on September 11 may not have been uncovered yet.
The documents, seen by Fox News also alledge that: 'Given the greater collection of intelligence and integration of pertinent data since the attacks of 9/11, I believe that al-Awlaki may have played greater roles in the terrorist attacks of 9/11, as well as other terrorist plots, than those of which we have been previously aware.

'Accordingly, I request the full assistance of the Department of Justice in carrying out this inquiry.'

Al-Awlaki is said to have inspired attacks by Muslims inside the U.S - including the Fort Hood, Texas, shootings in 2009, which left 13 dead

U.S. born radical al-Awlaki is widely believed to be the mastermind behind a number of terror atrocities and the leader of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).
AQAP is estimated to number about 300 militants with strongholds in a number of remote mountain regions.
It is thought to be behind numerous attacks on government targets and is said to have inspired attacks by Muslims inside the United States - including the Fort Hood, Texas, shootings in which an Army psychiatrist is accused of killing 13 people and wounding 32.
It's also thought the group has twice smuggled explosives aboard aircraft headed to the United States.

Al-Awlaki's chilling plans for a Mumbai-style terror attack on Britain were were also previuosly uncovered.
Chilling email exchanges between an undercover Sun reporter and al-Awlaki - widely tipped to succeed Osama bin Laden as Al Qaeda leader - outlines the various options open to extremists who want to launch an attack on British soil.

9/11

This year on 9/11, will the media tip toe around the truth that 3,000 Americans were murdered by MUSLIMS?

With the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks approaching, the news media will be all over this story. But the perpetrators of the slaughter will be treated with perverse respect, and simple, plain truth-telling will be avoided — just in case anyone out there is inclined to claim that the reporters and their networks are anti-Islam.

NY POST – Listen for how the innocent dead are addressed. We will hear that they “died,” that they “perished,” that they were “lost” and that they were “killed” on 9/11. We will hear that they were victims of a tragedy, a cataclysmic horror.
But one fact will go largely unspoken. We will not hear that they were murdered.
How often have you heard that indisputable truth spoken on newscasts since 9/11? How often have you heard that the 2,977 innocents who died on 9/11 were “victims of a mass murder”?
And it’s unlikely that you’ll hear that much in the 9/11 remembrances, overviews and personal profiles that TV will present, day and night, over the next month.

Although the 9/11 murderers were driven by their radicalized, insane interpretation of their religion, the Western news media applies an inherent sensitivity toward Islamic extremists in their careful refusal to deal with and report the plainest, clearest — and ugliest — of facts.
If you’ve listened to CNN’s reports about the Islamic-American US Army psychiatrist Nidal Malik Hasan, who murdered 13 and wounded 32 at Fort Hood in November 2009, you wouldn’t know that the overwhelming evidence points to his inspiration as his “duty to Islam.”
Armed with an FN Five-Seven semi-automatic, which he’d fitted with two Lasermax sights, Hasan, according to witnesses, bowed his head in prayer, then went about doing “God’s work.” But CNN would have the world think that he was just some regular G.I. Joe who had a bad day.
Imagine if he’d been an American white supremacist who opened fire on Muslims . . .The news media have never had a problem pointing to Lt. William Calley, of Vietnam War infamy, as a murderer, the perp in a massacre of innocent men, women and children.
The same evil designation is applied to Timothy McVeigh, Richard Speck, the Columbine High School gun kids and Jared Lee Loughner, the gunman who murdered six and wounded 13, including Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, this past January near Tucson.
The media have no trouble distinguishing the innocent dead in those massacres as victims of murder.
But the 9/11 murder-massacre victims, for the polite, politically delicate way in which their deaths have been characterized, could have been killed in several airplane accidents that occurred that Tuesday, or in the accidental fires and building collapses that followed.
But that’s not what happened. They were murdered by Islamic lunatics. They didn’t simply die, they weren’t simply killed and they didn’t simply perish on 9/11. They were murdered.
