ProjectBojinka

From 911Encyclopedia:

It was never confirmed, if this plan really existed, but the idea of Project Bojinka was in reality described by an anonymous source: "Sometimes in January 1995, when Philippine Police authorities captured Ramsey Youssef in Manila, I was asked, because of my affiliation with the NBI, to help decode and decipher the hard drives of the computers found in Youssef's possession. This is where we found most of the evidence of the projects that were being funded by Osama Bin Laden in the Philippines. The first plan was to assassinate Pope John Paul II who was then scheduled to visit the Philippines. The second was Project Bojinka, which called for the hijacking of US bound commercial airliners from the Philippines, Korea, Thailand, Taiwan, Honking(sic -ed) and Singapore, and then crash them into key structures in the United States. The World Trade Center, the White House, the Pentagon, the Transamerica Tower, and the Sears Tower were among prominent structures that had been identified in the plans that we had decoded. A dry-run was even conducted on a Tokyo bound Philippine Airlines flight, which fortunately was aborted by our security personnel..." In 2001-2002, Project Bojinka made news in various newspapers and at the 911 hearings. The original idea of repromoting Bojinka, might have been based on a disinformation coup. The purpose of it was to distract from OperationNorthwoods or a public 911-commission.
