report: france knew of 9/11 plot

from detroit free press: A French intelligence service learned as early as January 2001 that Al Qaeda was working on a plot to hijack U.S. airliners, and it passed the information on to the CIA, a news report said today.

France’s Le Monde newspaper said it had obtained 328 pages of classified documents on Osama bin Laden’s terrorism network that the French foreign intelligence service, the DGSE, had drawn up between July 2000 and October 2001.

The Defense Ministry didn’t immediately return a call seeking comment.
