FBI "accidentally" shared name of Saudi official suspected suspect of September 11

The U.S. Federal Investigation Bureau "accidentally" announced the name of Saudi official Mussaed Ahmed el Cerrah, suspected of helping Al Qaeda terrorists in the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York on September 11, 2001.

The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) "accidentally" announced the name of the Saudi official, suspected of helping Al Qaeda terrorists in the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York on September 11, 2001. According to the special report of Yahoo News, the FBI also disclosed one of the biggest secrets of the event, forgetting to delete the name of Mussaed Ahmed el Cerrah, who served in the Washington Embassy of Saudi Arabia in 1999-2000, in one of the files submitted by the families of the victims of September 11. The court document, drafted by a senior FBI official and opened to the public this week, noted that al-Cerrah was suspected of helping two attackers of Al Qaeda, who committed a suicide attack on the World Trade Center known as the "Twin Towers" on September 11.

FIRST EVIDENCE THAT FBI COVERED SAUDI ARABIAN CONNECTION
The document stated that el Cerrah's whereabouts are currently unknown, but there are accusations that this person had set up two people from the United States to help the attackers. He said that there was serious evidence that he had done so. Withdrawing the document on Yahoo news, the FBI noted that the document was accidentally placed in the case file.

What are the September 11 attacks?
During the terrorist attacks in the USA on September 11, 2001, 4 passenger planes were hijacked, two of the planes hit Twin Towers. The other aircraft missed were targeted at the Pentagon in the capital, Washington, while the fourth aircraft was shot down by the F-16s in the countryside of Pennsylvania: 2,606 people in the Twin Towers, 125 people in the Pentagon, and 246 people in the hijacked planes. In the attacks, the total number of deaths with 19 terrorists was announced as 2 996. Following the September 11 attacks that changed the course of history, former US President George W. Bush decided to enter Afghanistan and Iraq, and the pro-war policy of the White House in the Middle East caused great reactions.

Pentagon boosts alert level at military bases following ISIS threats

The US military has increased the security level at US military bases due to unspecific warnings involving the radical Islamic State terrorist group. The alert level is now at its highest since the 10th anniversary of 9/11.
The order to boost the security level on US military bases to “Bravo” – the third of five levels of alert - was ordered by Admiral William Gortney, head of the US Northern Command (NORTHCOM), which commands all military installations on American territory.
The move comes just hours after FBI Director James Comey spoke out on the increasing threat of jihadist attacks being carried out on US soil.
Comey said Thursday there are "hundreds, maybe thousands" of individuals in the United States who are being inspired via social media platforms to carry out acts of violence on American targets.
"It's like the devil sitting on their shoulders, saying 'Kill, kill, kill,'''
Comey told reporters Thursday.
"We have a general concern, obviously, that ISIL is focusing on the uniformed military and law enforcement."
The Pentagon has come around to the view that IS sympathizers residing in the United States present enough of a risk to warrant boosting the security level.

A statement released by the Department of Defense said they share the “same concern about the potential threat posed by homegrown violent extremists, as discussed publicly by Director Comey and others."
US military brass said the change is “not tied to a specific, credible threat,”
though “recent events have led us to recognize the need to take prudent steps.”

Although Davis refrained from outlining exactly what new security measures would be enforced, he said US military bases and recruitment centers “are going to have increased vigilance and force protection.”
He added: “We seek to be unpredictable."
A Pentagon statement described the heightened security level as a means of protecting US military personnel.
“The USNORTHCOM Commander raised the baseline Force Protection Condition as a prudent measure to remind installation commanders at all levels within the USNORTHCOM area of responsibility to ensure increased vigilance and safeguarding of all DOD personnel, installations and facilities,”
the statement said. “This change, in addition to random drills or exercises, is a mean to ensure that we effectively execute our force protection mission."
In March, a group calling itself the Islamic State Hacking Division allegedly posted the names, photos, and home addresses of 100 US military personnel, urging IS followers to kill them.
The US military members' personal data was apparently not obtained through hacks on government servers, despite claims by the Islamic State, a Defense Department official told the New York Times, because personal information allegedly collected by ISIS "could be found in public records, residential address search sites and social media."
Nevertheless, it looks like the US military is taking the threats seriously.
