Ex-CIA Officer Alleges Israel Had Advance Warning of 9/11 and Deliberately Withheld Intelligence

What was said
"I think that the Israelis, while not involved in 9/11, absolutely positively had advance warning of 9/11. They had sources inside of al-Qaeda, and they purposely did not tell us the details because they knew what was going to happen. They knew that we would attack Afghanistan and we would attack Iraq and we would kill 2 million Muslims."
Kiriakou stated he believes Israeli intelligence possessed foreknowledge of the September 11 attacks through sources inside al-Qaeda but deliberately withheld critical details from U.S. agencies. He argued Israel wanted America to launch military operations in the Middle East that would serve Israeli strategic interests by eliminating hostile regimes and destabilizing adversaries, effectively using the U.S. as a proxy military force.
