Airlines warned five months before 9 11 threat memo
The FAA memo dated April 18 2001 warned airlines that Middle Eastern terrorists might hijack or blow up a U S plane and urged high alertness. It noted four al Qaeda members on trial over the 1998 embassy bombings and followed other pre 9 11 alerts. The note expired July 31 and did not call for new security procedures.
