Why is the Niaz Khan confession not lauded as an important part of 9/11 Truth? Some background: Niaz Khan was recruited and trained by Al Qaeda in Lahore Pakistan to Hijack airplanes. In the months before 9/11, Khan was sent to the US with money and secret passwords to use as he met his handlers (who were to give Khan further details of his specific suicide mission). Upon arriving in the US, Khan began gambling and eventually spent most of his money. Afraid, and having second thoughts, he went to the FBI and blew the operation wide open, divulging all the information about his hijack training and recruitment, even passing at least two polygraph tests. Although FBI agents told NBC reporters that they believed him, higher ups told these agents to send Khan to London. Edited by Deftones, Oct 19 2009, 11:07 AM.

I have always believed that the Niaz Khan confession is, unfortunately, one of the least appreciated aspects of 9/11 Truth.

To get back to the question, Why is Niaz Khan's polygraph confirmed confession not considered an important part of 9/11 truth? to reiterate its importance: The FBI agents who interrogated Khan believed this man was telling the truth, though higher ups told these agents to "send him back to London and forget about it". |

Polygraphs, while not completely accurate are a decent indicator of whether or not people telling the truth. Though, the more important issue is that the FBI agents who interrogated Khan believed he was telling the truth. Why isn't his confession a bigger part of the 9/11 truth narrative? Unfortunately, I believe that Khan's confession has been inadvertently overlooked by most researchers. His confession ties in very closely to what we know about Able Danger and other pre-9/11 terrorist monitoring programs. Except in Khan's case, we have an actual confession in which the FBI interrogators believed him, though were told to "send him back to London, and forget about it". Khan's confession is clearly a very significant, yet undervalued, part of 9/11 Truth. Edited by Deftones, Oct 27 2009, 12:47 PM.

Ive been reading a lot about the controversy of trying KSM and other 9/11 conspirators in civilian courts. It would be productive to include Niaz Khan in these civilian court prosecutions. Imagine the testimony: "I told the FBI everything about my training and involvement, divulging every detail I knew during the three weeks I was working with the FBI. I confidently passed two polygraph tests, and the FBI interrogators believed me - but suddenly, they were told to send me back to London." Edited by Deftones, Oct 18 2009, 03:53 PM.

Polygraphs are not reliable at all. I took one once for a job that I didn't care about getting and I lied my butt off. The tester said I passed with flying colors. |

I'll try to clarify the most important facts (in bold), as the FBI administered polygraph testing is a only small part of the Niaz Khan confession. While polygraphs have a measure of validity, they are far from perfect, and should never be a principle factor in determining whether or not someone is telling the truth. All this is well known... Even so, the most important issue is that FBI interrogators believed Khan was telling the truth based on three weeks of questioning and many forms of interrogation... Despite this, these agents were instructed to "send him back to London and forget about it". Edited by Deftones, Oct 18 2009, 07:05 PM.

So I assume the British didn't believe him in two hours. Did they release a statement of what thier interview told them? It would sound an incredulous story to some at FBI level.

The FBI was very likely in contact with British authorities when they decided to send a person they believed to be an Al Qeada trained terrorist back to London. We do know that he was interviewed at least once by officials in Britain. He was also interviewed by a couple media outlets after the attacks of 9/11. Given that FBI interrogators believed Khan, and that his confession became incredibly prophetic on the morning of 9/11, its clear that those participating in the cover-up would like nothing more than to keep Khan's confession quiet. Thus, its not surprising that Khan's transfer back to London was a relatively quiet event. In fact, the video that was posted earlier in this thread was almost never seen, as it was "pulled" before it could be shown to the public based on issues of "national security". The producers of the film 9/11 Press for Truth uncovered the footage when they were making their first film. This story is huge: we have a confession of an Al Qeada recruit trained to hijack airplanes, which FBI agents believed, months before 9/11 - yet these agents were told to "send him back to London and forget about it". Its hard to overstate the importance of this story. Edited by Deftones, Oct 19 2009, 09:50 AM.

Khan was being set up as one of the 9/11 patsies, but at some point in the process got cold feet and changed his mind. The field agents found him to be very credible and forthcoming, but there work was constantly sabotaged by FBI headquarters in Washington. It was the same thing FBI man John O'Neill complained about for years before he resigned just TWO MONTHs before 9/11, the constant interference of his work from Washington HQ. this guy was the head of the FBI counterterrorism unit in New York and hot on the trail of the 9/11 plot, and resigns, or was forced to resign, just TWO MONTHS before 9/11 happened? ....Shortly after leaving the FBI, he lands a new job as the head of security of the WTC...with the help of some people in Washington. He starts his new job at the WTC in late August 2001....two weeks later, O'Neill is dead in the 9/11 attacks. Just another stunning coincidence? Yeah sure. What did he know? It appears someone in Washington wanted this guy silenced once and for all. There's a PBS documentary on John O'Neill called 'The Man who Knew.' ...It's interesting to see how is investigation of the USS Cole and US embassy attacks was constantly being interfered with by the State Department as well as his own superiors in Washington...all the way up to his resignation in Summer 2001.
