U.S. investigators are looking into the possibility radical Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki was overlooked as a key player in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In a letter obtained by Fox News, congressman Peter King of New York wrote to Attorney General Eric Holder saying investigators believe it is more than coincidence the American cleric had contact with three of the five hijackers who flew a plane into the Pentagon on September 11. Extracts from the letter confirm the House Homeland Security Committee are investigating: ‘To what extent Anwar al-Awlaki wittingly or unwittingly facilitated the plot of the 9/11 hijackers.’ While they are also trying to establish: ‘To what extent al-Awlaki was an al Qaeda operative, offering support to acts of terrorism prior to 9/11.’ The revelation indicates that the full story behind the terrorist attacks on September 11 may not have been uncovered yet.
