  • Able Danger was a classified military planning effort under the command of the U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM). It was created as a result of a directive from the Joint Chiefs of Staff in early October 1999 by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Hugh Shelton, to develop an Information Operations Campaign Plan against transnational terrorism, "specifically al-Qaeda. " In December 2006, a sixteen-month investigation by the US Senate Intelligence Committee concluded "Able Danger did not identify Mohammed Atta or any other 9/11 hijacker at any time prior to Sept. 11, 2001," and dismissed other assertions that have fueled 9/11 conspiracy theories. The Senate panel of investigators said there was no evidence DoD lawyers stopped analysts from sharing findings with the FBI before the attacks. No Able Danger information was improperly destroyed by Pentagon lawyers. Analysts had created charts that included pictures of then-known Al Qaeda operatives, but none including Atta. A follow-up chart made after the attacks did show Atta. The Senate Committee said its findings were consistent with those of the DoD inspector general, released in September 2006.
  • Able Danger is een klein geheim inlichtingenteam van het Amerikaanse leger opgezet in 1999 met het doel informatie over Al Qaida netwerken in de wereld te verzamelen. Voor zover bekend valt de eenheid onder het Special Operations Command (SOCOM) van het Amerikaanse leger. In augustus 2005 werd het bestaan van Able Danger bekend toen werd gesuggereerd dat het team vier van de latere kapers van de terroristische aanslagen op 11 september 2001 had geïdentificeerd, te weten Mohammed Atta, Marwan al-Shehhi, Khalid al-Mihdar en Nawaf al-Hazmi al in 1999 als leden van een cel. Able Danger zou hebben geadviseerd deze informatie met de FBI te delen. Juristen van het Pentagon zouden dit hebben verhinderd. Deze claim wordt betwist door het Pentagon, de FBI en op basis van de tijdlijn van de 9/11 Commissie welke Atta's aankomst in de V.S. op het jaar 2000 stelt.
