Russian President Vladimir Putin had called his US counterpart George W. Bush two days before the 9\/11 attacks in 2001, warning about an imminent terrorist plot coming from Afghanistan, a former CIA analyst has revealed.<\/span><\/p>\n

The urgent warning coming from the Russian leader is mentioned<\/a><\/strong><\/span> in the book \u2018The Russia Trap: How Our Shadow War with Russia Could Spiral into Nuclear Catastrophe,\u2019 released earlier this week and written by George Beebee, a senior Bush-era CIA analyst.<\/span><\/p>\n

The revelation by the former CIA operative appears to be yet another proof that Washington has been repeatedly warned about the attacks that ultimately happened on September 11, 2001.<\/span><\/p>\n

While the existence of a warning from Moscow has been public knowledge for years \u2013 senior Russian intelligence officials spoke about them shortly after the attacks \u2013 Beebee\u2019s book suggests that it was not limited to exchange between the intelligence agencies, and that Bush was warned by Putin personally.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to Russia, the US had been reportedly warned by the British spies, and the danger of impending attacks had been repeatedly highlighted by both the CIA and the FBI. Whether the White House actually heeded those warnings<\/strong><\/span><\/a> and did everything it could to protect its citizens still remains a mystery.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some hints at the mindset of the White House officials at the time are contained in the memoirs of Condoleezza Rice, then national security advisor and later secretary of state.<\/span><\/p>\n

In \u2018No Higher Honor,\u2019 Rice confesses that she dismissed an earlier warning from Putin about Saudi-funded extremists in Pakistan that he said would eventually cause a \u201cmajor catastrophe.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Rice wrote<\/strong><\/span><\/a> that she dismissed the warning and \u201cchalked it up to Russian bitterness toward Pakistan for supporting the Afghan mujahideen\u201d<\/em> during the Soviet Union’s war in Afghanistan.<\/span><\/p>\n
