CIA planned to kill Bin Laden before 9/11, but then backed down

Former US President Bill Clinton has revealed that the CIA had drawn up a plan to eliminate Osama bin Laden before the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, but the operation was cancelled at the last moment due to fears it could cause civilian casualties.

Clinton spoke about the matter during a radio interview on the “Cats Roundtable,” hosted by John Catsimatidis on WABC. According to him, he authorized the CIA to launch an operation against the al-Qaeda leader.

"It would have been nice to capture bin Laden alive, but the top priority was to stop him," Clinton said, recalling his administration's decision.

The former president stated that the CIA canceled the plan at the last minute, as officials feared that a failed operation could cause the deaths of many innocent people.

Clinton said he didn't question the agency's decision at the time, but added that he believes the operation could have been successful. "I was scared and angry, because we had tried to catch him before," he confessed.

Clinton also said he immediately identified bin Laden as the perpetrator of the September 11 attacks while watching the events on television from Australia. He recalled that his daughter was in Manhattan and the family was very worried because they could not communicate with her.

According to Clinton, Bin Laden had long been planning an attack on the United States and had the financial and operational capacity to carry it out.

Osama bin Laden was killed on May 2, 2011, during a secret operation by US special forces in the compound where he was hiding in Abbottabad, Pakistan, during the presidency of Barack Obama.

Clinton also warned that the United States must remain vigilant against terrorist threats. He said that another attack on New York is possible, but stressed that the United States is much better prepared today than it was in 2001.
