July 2, 2001: Senior US Officials Warned Planning for Al-Qaeda Attacks Is Continuing

2001-07-02

A Senior Executive Intelligence Brief (SEIB) entitled “Planning for Bin Laden Attacks Continues, Despite Delays” is sent to top White House officials. SEIBs are typically based on the previous day’s presidential daily briefing (see January 20-September 10, 2001), so it is probable President Bush is given this warning.
