Sept 11 Attacks (Planning)

Planning of the attacks

-The idea for the September 11 plot came from Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.

-In late 1998 or early 1999, bin Laden gave approval for Mohammed to go forward with organizing the plot.

-Mohammed provided operational support for the plot and Bin Laden overruled Mohammed.

-The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks upon the United States was formed by the United States government and was commonly called the 9/11 Commission.

-The Commission stated that 9/11 plotters eventually spent somewhere between $400,000 and $500,000 to plan and conduct their attack, but that the specific origin of the funds used to execute the attacks remained unknown.
