> Egypt Leader Says He Warned America BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) - Egyptian
> President Hosni Mubarak says he warned the United States that "something
> would happen" 12 days before the Sept. 11 terror attacks on New York and
> Washington.
>
> In an interview published Friday by the left-wing Lebanese newspaper
> As-Safir, Mubarak also said it would be a grave mistake if Israeli forces
> were to kill Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.
>
> Mubarak did not reveal how he learned in late August of a possible terror
> attack on the United States. He said he was taken aback by the scale of
the
> Sept. 11 attacks, when hijackers seized four U.S. airliners and crashed
two
> into New York's World Trade Center and one into the Pentagon. The fourth
> plane crashed into the Pennsylvania countryside during an apparent
struggle
> in the cockpit.
>
> "We expected that something was going to happen and informed the
Americans.
> We told them," Mubarak said. He did not mention a U.S. response.
>
> "But nobody expected the event would be of such enormity. We did not know
> that they would hit this target or that, and we were all surprised when
> planes with passengers on board hit the twin towers," Mubarak said.
>
> Washington has said that in the weeks before the Sept. 11 attacks, the CIA
> issued a warning that bin Laden was pressing for terrorist action against
> Americans. The warning was based on new intelligence but did not have
> specific information on the type of attack, a date or a location.
>
> Mubarak also commented on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Recent Israeli
> airstrikes have hit targets within 100 yards of Arafat's offices.
>
> Mubarak said that if Israel were to kill Arafat, it would create a vacuum
> in the Palestinian leadership that none of the "six to eight contenders"
> would be able to fill.
>
> "Leaderships would emerge that would vie for popularity and compete in
> staging violent operations, internally and externally, against Israel,
> plunging (the region) into chaos. They (Israel) should understand this and
> know that it is dangerous," Mubarak said.
>
> "And what would happen after Arafat? Who would Israel hold responsible for
> (acts of violence) - the leaders of Hamas or the Popular Front for the
> Liberation of Palestine?" Mubarak said, referring to two militant
> Palestinian factions.
>
> Hamas has claimed responsibility for two suicide bombings that killed 25
> people and wounded scores in Jerusalem and Haifa last weekend. The PFLP
> claimed responsibility for the assassination of the Israeli tourism
> minister in October.
