WASHINGTON - The Federal Aviation Administration received repeated warnings in the months prior to Sept. 11, 2001, about al-Qaida and its desire to attack airlines, according to a previously undisclosed report by the commission that investigated the terror attacks.

The report by the Sept. 11 commission detailed 52 such warnings given to FAA leaders from April to Sept. 10, 2001, about the radical Islamic terrorist group and its leader, Osama bin Laden.

The commission report, written last August, said five security warnings mentioned al-Qaida's training for hijackings and two reports concerned suicide operations not connected to aviation. However, none of the warnings pinpointed what would happen on Sept. 11.

FAA spokeswoman Laura Brown on Thursday said the agency received intelligence from other agencies, which it passed on to airlines and airports.

But, she said, "We had no specific information about means or methods that would have enabled us to tailor any countermeasures."

Brown also said the FAA was in the process of tightening security at the time of the attacks.

"We were spending $100 million a year to deploy explosive detection equipment at the airports," she said. The agency was also close to issuing a regulation that would have set higher standards for screeners and, for the first time, give it direct control over the screening work force.

Al Felzenberg, former spokesman for the 9/11 commission, which went out of business last summer, said the government had not completed a review of the 120-page report for declassification purposes until recently.

Carol Ashley of Rockville Centre, N.Y., whose daughter died in the attacks, said the report should have been released sooner.

"I'm just appalled that this was withheld for five months. That contributes to the idea that the government knew something and didn't act, it contributes to the conspiracy theories out there. We need to rebut those with the actual facts, but we need the facts to do that," she said.

California Rep. Henry Waxman, ranking Democrat on the Government Reform Committee, asked for a hearing on whether the Bush administration played politics with the report's release. The letter, also signed by Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., said the committee should probe whether the report was delayed until after the November elections and the confirmation of Condoleezza Rice as secretary of state.

The unclassified version, first reported by The New York Times, was made available by the National Archives Thursday.

According to the report:

_Aviation officials were "lulled into a false sense of security" and "intelligence that indicated a real and growing threat leading up to 9/ll did not stimulate significant increases in security procedures."

_Of the FAA's 105 daily intelligence summaries between April 1, 2001 and Sept. 10, 2001, 52 mentioned bin Laden, al-Qaida, or both, "mostly in regard to overseas threats."

_It notes that the FAA did not expand the use of in-flight air marshals or tighten airport screening for weapons. It said FAA officials were more concerned with reducing airline congestion, lessening delays and easing air carriers' financial problems than thwarting a terrorist attack.

_ A proposed rule to improve passenger screening and other security measures ordered by Congress in 1996 had been held up by the Office of Management and Budget and was still not in effect when the attacks occurred, according to the FAA.

Information in this report was available to members of the 9/11 commission when they issued their public report last summer. That report itself contained criticisms of FAA operations.

I would like to thank all the members of the House, the Senate, the federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies, our military leaders, and the department of homeland security for letting the American people know exactly where you stand on the issues of high treason, and the mass murder of American citizens. Not to imply that any of you have honestly stated your position, but that your actions have shown that you condone these atrocities, and have no qualms about allowing people to profit from them. It has also become obvious that you support the destruction of our constitution, as well as the end of Americans’ freedom, with all the effort you can muster.

Millions of Americans now know that the attacks of September, 11, 2001 were orchestrated by people within the United States government, and I refuse to believe that everyone in congress and the senate isn’t aware of this too. All of you have received countless letters asking for an honest investigation of the attacks, but your silence on the matter seems to indicate that an honest investigation was never really an option. Instead, most of you have lied, helped to hide the truth, or at least avoided the truth, and then worked to pass oppressive laws that undermine the constitutional rights of Americans, and lay their freedom to waste in a fraudulent "war on terror," as a response to the synthetic terror you’ve endorsed. You shamelessly capitalized upon the horror of 9-11, and used it as leverage to destroy all that America stands for, and because it’s now known that people in our own government were responsible for the attacks, your true motives have been exposed, as well as your derision of our freedom and civil rights. The salt is applied to the wound when Americans discover that you’ve brought them generations of economic despair in order to finance your wars against the rest of the world, after you attacked your own country to justify it all. I could never imagine a more horrible series of crim

:( NY Times--> 9/11 Report Cites Many Warnings About Hijackings

ASHINGTON, Feb. 9 - In the months before the Sept. 11 attacks, federal
aviation officials reviewed dozens of intelligence reports that warned
about Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda, some of which specifically discussed
airline hijackings and suicide operations, according to a previously
undisclosed report from the 9/11 commission.

But aviation officials were "lulled into a false sense of security," and
"intelligence that indicated a real and growing threat leading up to
9/11 did not stimulate significant increases in security procedures,"
the commission report concluded.

The report discloses that the Federal Aviation Administration, despite
being focused on risks of hijackings overseas, warned airports in the
spring of 2001 that if "the intent of the hijacker is not to exchange
hostages for prisoners, but to commit suicide in a spectacular
explosion, a domestic hijacking would probably be preferable."

The report takes the F.A.A. to task for failing to pursue domestic
security measures that could conceivably have altered the events of
Sept. 11, 2001, like toughening airport screening procedures for weapons
or expanding the use of on-flight air marshals. The report, completed
last August, said officials appeared more concerned with reducing
airline congestion, lessening delays, and easing airlines' financial
woes than deterring a terrorist attack.

The Bush administration has blocked the public release of the full,
classified version of the report for more than five mon
