	Operation Bojinka (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Operation Bojinka (also known as Project Bojinka, Bojinka Plot, Bojinga, from Arabic: بجنكة; -- slang in many dialects for explosion and pronounced Bo-JIN-ka, except in Egyptian where it is Bo-GIN-ka) was a planned large-scale terrorist attack and precursor to the September 11 Terrorist Attacks.
		Operation Bojinka was prevented on January 6 and 7, 1995, but some lessons learned were apparently used by the planners of the September 11 terrorist attacks.
		Yousef's pet project was discovered on four floppy diskettes and an off-white Toshiba laptop personal computer inside his apartment, two weeks before the plot would have been implemented.

	Media Monitor - Inexcusable CIA Failure - September 27, 2001
		Project Bojinka, which Philippine authorities found outlined on Abdul Murad's laptop, called for planting bombs on eleven U.S. airliners and hijacking others and crashing them into targets.
		Project Bojinka was known to the CIA and the FBI.
		Since the CIA had been mentioned as one of the targets in Project Bojinka, one would think that it would have had an especially strong interest in trying to find any evidence that Osama bin Laden was proceeding with plans to carry it out.

		Ramzi Yousef, the alleged mastermind of Bojinka, was arrested in Pakistan and returned to New York by FBI agent John O’Neill (then FBI counter-terrorism chief whose main focus was on Osama bin Laden and Al Queda).
		The details of Project Bojinka were furnished by Philippine police to the American Embassy in Manila and to the CIA and FBI.
		But Project Bojinka was not the first red flag raised on the 9/11 scenario.

		Operation Bojinka was a planned series of terrorist attack schedules for January of 1995.
		Operation Bojinka was abandoned in the wake of an apartment fire in Manila on January 6, 1995, which led to the discovery by police of evidence of the plot.

		Chief Superintendent Avelino Razon said a plot called "Project Bojinka" was uncovered by Philippine police in 1995 after arresting terrorist Abdul Hakim Murad in a Manila apartment where he was plotting to assassinate visiting Pope John Paul II.
		Razon said Project Bojinka had been in the planning stage as early as 1994, when the terrorists carried out a test mission by exploding a bomb on board a Japan-bound Philippine Airlines jet, killing one passenger.
		Razon said US federal officials were aware of Project Bojinka and that the Philippines' crack terrorist team was continuing to work closely with them.

		AIM has harshly criticised the media for largely ignoring the U.S. intelligence community's advanced knowledge of Project Bojinka: "In 1995, the CIA and the FBI learned that Osama bin Laden was planning to hijack U.S. airliners and use them as bombs to attack important targets in the U.S. This scheme was called Project Bojinka.
		Project Bojinka, which Philippine authorities found outlined on Abdul Murad's laptop, called for planting bombs on eleven U.S. airliners and hijacking others and crashing them into targets like the CIA building." It required aviators like Japan's kamikaze pilots who were willing to commit suicide.
		Given that the U.S. intelligence community anticipated a Project Bojinka- style attack by Al-Qaeda operatives on U.S. soil, and had consequently intensified surveillance, all credible information and warnings that were subsequently collected were reviewed against this backdrop, with the specific intention of gathering further intelligence on bin Laden's plans.

		Several media outlets, including TIME Asia [1] (http://www.time.com/time/asia/features/malay_terror/hambali4.html), wrongly claim that the word Bojinka means "loud bang" or "explosion" in Serbo-Croatian.
		Those that feel that the U.S. Government could not have discovered the September 11 plot argue that the Bojinka plot was mainly about Phase I. Operation Bojinka's handling by the authorities to some observers demonstrates the ineffectiveness of torture in interrogations.

		The article discussed Operation Bojinka, which came to the attention of U.S. authorities in 1995 when Abdul Hakim Murad, a terrorist, was captured in the Philippines.
		Avelino “Sonny” Razon, one of the lead investigators in the Bojinka case, was so shocked at what he saw on September 11 that he jumped on a plane in Cebu, where he was now police chief, and flew to Manila to convene a hasty press conference.
		He identified Operation Bojinka only as a plot to blow up U.S. air carriers, and assured the senators that the FBI had the situation under control.

		And indeed, the surveillance of flight schools is exactly what subsequently occurred, indicating that the threat posed by Project Bojinka was not dismissed—rather, it was taken seriously and used as the basis for intensive intelligence gathering.
		The Washington Post, noting the plans outlined in Project Bojinka, reported that: “Since 1996, the FBI had been developing evidence that international terrorists were using flight schools to learn to fly jumbo jets.” This evidence began to accumulate shortly after the FBI learned of Project Bojinka.
		It should be noted that this report indicates that Al-Qaeda’s plans for Project Bojinka were considered by U.S. intelligence to be a credible threat, and thus “touched off” further investigations.

		"Bojinka" was an unknown name among the very airline pilots who needed to know of its existence and the series of attacks, which suggested its continuation.
		Again, one of the key players in "Project Bojinka" was Ramzi Yousef, also one of those convicted in the first WTC bombing.
		While "Project Bojinka" has been known for 7 years, it was only recently illustrated that the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were proposed targets of that plan - from the beginning.

	CIA, FBI Knew Since 1995 About Possible Hijack Scheme (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The airline terror plan, code named "Project Bojinka" was first discovered in January 1995 during a police search of a Manila apartment in which a suspicious fire had occurred near the route Pope John Paul II was to take just days before his visit to the Philippines.
		Furthermore, "Project Bojinka" included plans to hijack and crash several commercial airplanes into civilian and government buildings simultaneously, precisely as it occurred on September 11.
		The most intriguing aspect of this case, according to Die Welt, is the fact that the FBI and CIA were made fully aware of the details of "Project Bojinka" from the time of the Philippine police investigation.

		Of particular note is an event that goes all the way back to 1995 - namely a raid in the Phillipines that uncovered information about a Project Bojinka that was to involve bombing airliners as well as crashing them into buildings.
		As an "investment group" gets eliminated from the project, a new group would be brought in, all investments would be halted to redisburse the funds evenly again, and then the process starts all over.
		It is in need of some serious changes, but the project should not be killed in its entirety, nor should those who created it be attacked and dismissed from the Pentagon.

		That's not to mention the ultimate red herring, IMHO: the plans captured in the mid '90s for Project Bojinka, Ramzi Yousef's plan to collide 12 US passenger planes over the Pacific, which was clearly an indication that Al Qaeda was looking at plane hijackings in a new way.

		It was called Project Bojinka, and U.S. officials were made aware of it at that time.
		At the end of August, the airline alerted its employees to be on the lookout for impostors, but apparently no one saw this as a possible link to Project Bojinka.
		Next came bin Laden's warning in mid-August that there would be "an unprecedented attack on U.S. interests." With Bojinka in mind, the government should have taken the strongest possible measures to prevent hijackings.
