FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION
The FBI had a chance to infiltrate an al Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan months before Sept. 11, but top agents responsible for tracking Osama bin Laden rejected the plan, according to a U.S. News & World Report. It said an informant told a bureau field agent that he was invited to attend a commando training course at an al Qaeda camp in Afghanistan. The information was relayed to a supervisor, who passed it on to FBI headquarters, where it went nowhere, the magazine said. The bin Laden unit flatly nixed the request. The FBI wouldn't comment.
