See our latest report on 9/11, which includes further corroboration of the fact that the Israelis were seen at Doric within five minutes of the first plane crash. The 1010 WINS program was interrupted at 08:50:39 for breaking news, and the announcement "a plane has crashed into the World Trade Center" was completed by 08:50:52, which is 4 minutes 22 seconds after the first crash at 08:46:30. The witness who saw the Israelis high-fiving, "horsing around", smiling, hugging each other and looking jovial but not at all shocked, was listening to WINS and did not hear anything about the WTC before she went to look outside. That's corroborated by the fact that she was prompted by the telephone call from her friend who'd heard a "strange noise" (almost certainly the impact or the roar of the plane), and who'd looked outside to see a "small cloud of smoke rising from one of the towers", before "immediately" phoning the witness. The FBI report also states that "According to T-1, it was the call from T-2, who is T-1's neighbor and close friend, which initially prompted T-1 to look out of the window towards the WTC. It was at that time that T-1 had also observed the Israelis atop the white van."

Thus, the physical impossibility of the Israelis learning of the event, deciding to take time off work, grabbing their cameras, running out to take their employer's van for personal use, making a 4 to 5-minute drive from Weehawken to the Doric apartment block in Union City in the rush hour, parking up and climbing onto the van roof with their cameras, etc. - all in less than 5 minutes! - is further confirmed.

Introduction

Thanks to andie531 for obtaining and making available the FBI documents on the "Dancing Israelis": KURZBERG, SIVAN ET AL. As will be shown, this FBI 'investigation' is very similar to the NIST 'investigations' into the World Trade Center (WTC) buildings collapses, in that the conclusion is politically motivated rather than evidence-based. Section 5 even reveals how the FBI's NS-2C Unit of its "National Security Division" based at FBI Headquarters, Washington, D.C., ordered FBI Newark to stop their investigation of the Israelis.

The documents were partly declassified in 2005. However, there are many parts that are still blanked out and classified until 2030 or 2035. Apart from names of individuals, the unreleased material includes longer passages such as the section following the question: "1. Did the Israeli nationals have foreknowledge of the events at WTC and were they filming the events prior to and in anticipation of the explosion?" The fact that it's blanked out indicates that the answer is clearly not an emphatic "no".

Nonetheless, the material that has already been released is sufficient to prove that the Israelis did indeed have foreknowledge of the attacks on the WTC. That is of course consistent with Israel's capability and history of staging false-flag terror, the two hours' advance warning of the WTC attack transmitted via the Herzliya / New York-based Israeli instant messaging service Odigo, the failure of Benjamin Netanyahu's friend Larry Silverstein and his children to turn up for work that day at the World Trade Center, Netanyahu's advance warning of, and Efraim Halevy's intimate knowledge of, the London 7/7 attacks, the $250,000 "loan" received by Bernard Kerik from Israeli billionaire Eitan Wertheimer together with $236,000 in rent paid by Steven C. Witkoff after Kerik visited Israel from August 26-29, 2001 to meet with Wertheimer and then claimed on September 16, 2001 that a "hijacker's passport" had been "discovered", along with multiple corroborating evidence much too numerous to mention in an introduction. Not surprisingly, experts from such professions as structural engineers, architects, physicists,﻿ mechanical engineers, metallurgical engineering graduates, PhD scientists, fire protection engineers, fire-fighters, electrical design engineers, explosives technicians, etc, may be seen speaking out on the ae911truth channel on YouTube, explaining why they know the government's half-baked conspiracy theory about suicidal Arabs with box cutters crashing two planes and managing to bring down three high-rises is believable only by the uneducated and the uninformed.

Excerpts from the FBI official report are included here for easy reference. Commentary on the transcripts within the transcripts section is enclosed within square brackets, in order that it may be readily distinguished from the actual FBI text. Page numbers are generally included only at the start of another excerpt.

The FBI documents are formatted with a fixed spacing, so it is generally an easy job to determine the number of characters within the classified boxes. The beginning of each paragraph is indented by ten spaces, and there is a double-spacing between sentences. Where a paragraph starts with "(S/OC/NF)", for example, that is followed by two spaces before the start of the first sentence. The position of the last character on a line is not predictable, but sometimes the section is repeated elsewhere with the word in question appearing part-way along a line. Moreover, the FBI do not obliterate the exact same words each time a passage is repeated, so an examination of all repetitions reveals more information, such as how Paul Kurzberg worked for the "Jewish Agency".

Date: 09/14/2001

Synopsis: Request SAC approval to open a Full Field Investigation.

Full Field Investigation Instituted: 09/14/2001

Details: A [blank, four characters long] and ACS text search of evidence acquired from a search executed by FBI Newark's Joint Terrorist Task Force, of a vehicle located on Route 3 East Rutherford, New Jersey, a White Chevrolet Van, New Jersey, license plate JRJ13Y, registered to Urban Moving Systems, 312 Pavonia, Pavonia Avenue #1, Jersey City, New Jersey, contained telephone numbers and names directly associated with previously identified [blank] and activities.

[Note: Pavonia Avenue was an early address used by UMS. Page 59 shows that UMS wrote to their insurers Oxford Health Plans on 07/26/2000 to change their address to 3 W. 18th Street, Weehawken, and at the same time they also provided a New York address of 446 W. 50th Street.]

[Section 1, Page 3 reveals that the Israelis had taken 76 photographs; also confirmed on page 80.]

[Section 1, Page 7 of 141 shows that seized items #1 to #3 were maps. Early reports stated that evidence linking the Israelis to the attacks consisted of maps "with certain places highlighted". Subsequently, although it was admitted that there were "tie-ins", the "evidence linking these Israelis to 9-11" was "classified". If there was no evidence to link them, there would be no evidence to classify. Other items listed include passports, a flight coupon and itinerary, black organizers, pocket notebooks, and "fabric sample (explosive residue)".]

Information Received Date: 09/11/2001 Time: 8:40 PM

Event Narrative: [Blank] observed three dark skin men driving a white van bearing New Jersey Plates driving on Spiritbrook Road [should be Spit Brook Road] near Nashua, New Hampshire around 1 PM. The driver of the van appeared to be lost. The van had a sign for Urban Moving Systems. [Spit Brook Road is within a mile of UMS' health insurers Oxford Health Plans, located at 10 Tara Blvd, Nashua, NH.]

Information Received Date: 09/11/2001 Time: 8:27 PM

Event Narrative: Spotted a white cube van driving along Rt. 3 South near exit 3 Plymouth Massachuesetts [sic]. The van had double doors in the back and the company name "Urban Moving Systems" in gold lettering.

Synopsis: Establish basis linking five (5) Israeli Nationals (detained) [38 characters wiped here before the period. The blanked characters would have to be something like "to the terrorist attacks of 09/11/2001"; if they were discussing links between the Israelis and Mickey Mouse, there would have been no need to classify it].

Details: On instant date, Newark initiated an investigation predicated upon the detention of five (5) Israeli Nationals who may have possessed information about the terrorist incident targeting the twin towers of New York City's World Trade Center on 09/11/2001. The following sets forth the basis for linking these five (5) Israeli Nationals (detained) [followed by section blanked out for political reasons; the wiped area continues for the rest of the page and for almost all of page 29; in handwriting the date this section was classified is 7-15-2005; declassify on 7-15-2030; whereas in print at top left of page it states 07-21-2010 as the date classified and says "declassify on: 07-21-2035"].

[This is dated 09/14/2001.]

Furthermore, on 09/11/2001, [blank] of the Pennsylvania State Police detained a yellow Penske box truck upon the request of Newark. [Blank] inspected the vehicle and determined that the vehicle's two (2) occupants, [blank] and [blank] both identified as Israeli nationals, were on their way to Columbus, OH. When Newark later questioned [blank] of Urban Moving Systems about the vehicle's presence in Pennsylvania, he could not offer an explanation. According to the moving company's [blank] the two (2) occupants and their vehicle were supposed to complete a moving job in a different part of the country. [Note: By a bizarre 'coincidence', the route from Weehawken, NJ to Columbus, OH passes within 2 or 3 miles of Shanksville and Indian Lake in PA.]

A search of UNI for any references to [blank] revealed one possible reference [blank] investigation) to [blank] born [blank] which further identified [blank] as an Israeli [blank.] [Note: That last wiped area is sixteen characters in length after taking out the period, so the word is not merely "national" or "citizen", which in any case would not need censure. "Covert operative", for example, would fit.]

Similarly, Newark also received reports from law enforcement officials in New England that a second vehicle, displaying markings for Urban Moving Systems, was noted to have stopped somewhere between New York and Boston on 09/11/2001 for the purpose of asking for directions to Boston, MA. The occupants of this second Urban Moving Systems vehicle were also identified as Israeli nationals.

The information provided herein pertains only to the information developed on the detainees in terms of [blank, section wiped is nearly two lines in length.] Connections between the detainees and other terrorism and or intelligence affiliated persons is to be reported under separate cover. [So the wiped section there refers to "the information developed on the detainees in terms of" connections between them and certain "terrorism and or intelligence affiliated persons", and connections between them and other "terrorism and or intelligence affiliated persons" is to be reported separately.]

Investigation at Newark continues.

Section 1, Page 32:

[This is dated 09/15/2001.]

On 09/14/2001, Newark Division, with the assistance of the New York Office (NYO), initiated an investigation predicated upon the detention of five (5) Israeli Nationals who may have possessed information about the terrorist incident targeting the twin towers of New York City's World Trade Center on 09/11/2001. The following sets forth a summary of the investigation-to-date. [Dated 09/15/2001]

On 09/11/2001, several complaints (FD-71s) were taken and interviews conducted by the Newark Division with respect to the event surrounding the explosions at New York City's World Trade Center (WTC), the Pentagon, and airline Flight #93 that had departed Newark. On 09/11/2001, [blank] a housewife and Union City, NJ resident, advised that at approximately 9:00am, 09/11/2001, [blank] neighbor, [blank] called her on the telephone to tell her that she [blank] saw smoke coming from the WTC. In order to see the WTC more closely, [blank] used 7x33mm power binoculars to view the scene. From the rear window of her apartment and while looking in the direction of the WTC, [blank] observed three (3) males kneeling on the roof of a white van located in the rear parking lot of her apartment complex. She noticed the individuals and it appeared as though they noticed her.

[Blank] described the males as white, mid-twenties, no facial hair, no glasses, "clean-cut," no hats, all wearing short sleeves, with lean builds. Other identifying data was also provided. [Blank] described the white van as a "box"-style van which had no windows on the side; it reminded [blank] of a telephone company style van.

According to [blank] one of the males appeared to be taking still photographs and video of the other males with the WTC in the background. All of the males appeared to be jovial in that they smiled, hugged one another, and gave "high fives." (See attached photos). As the vehicle later left that area, [blank] recorded the license plate as JRJ-13Y. Later that day when [blank] returned home, she provided the police with the information pertaining to the males.

Another complaint Subsequent investigation by Newark Criminal Division Agents revealed a second eyewitness who reported having observed the a [sic] white van in the same parking lot described by [blank]. This eyewitness, however, observed the van in the parking lot as early as 8:00am on the morning of the explosions at WTC.

A third interviewee later reported, as documented on an FD-71, having seen, on 09/11/2001 (time not noted), a big, white, model 2000 Chevrolet van, or possibly panel truck or U-Haul truck, bearing the words "Urban Movers" in black lettering along the side. The vehicle was observed in the Liberty State Park's Marine Terminal in Jersey City, NJ, located across the Hudson River from WTC.

Pursuant to this information, East Rutherford, NJ police authorities stopped an Urban Moving Systems van at a pre-positioned roadblock which was occupied by males similar to those described by witnesses above. The van had been traveling eastbound along State Route 3 in New Jersey. Following the stop, police detained five (5) individuals, all Israeli Nationals, on the grounds that they may have had information pertaining to the WTC explosions. The matter was later forwarded to FBI Newark, and the individuals were detained based violations of immigration their status [sic].

At the time of the vehicle stop, a search of the van and individuals was conducted. Seizure of the individuals' property yielded the following: a 35mm camera, several personal telephone-style notebooks, back packs, airline tickets with immediate travel dates for destinations world-wide, Israeli passports (in some cases, expired), a German passport, and thousands of dollars of cash. Student identifications later believed to be false were later found. Oddly, equipment typically used in a moving company's daily duties was not found, including work gloves, blankets, straps, ropes, boxes, dollies, rollers, etc. Also not found was the video camera that [blank] observed at least one of the males using to film the explosion at WTC.

Focused on what might have been contained on the film in the video camera reportedly used by the Israeli males, Newark's Criminal Division interviewed each of the Israeli males. Through interviews (and later polygraphs), it was determined that several of the detainees had, by their own admission, [blank.]

For instance, [blank, fourteen characters, so probably Sivan Kurzberg] was formerly employed as a [blank] in Israel and later served as a [blank] and performed [blank] NFI). [Blank, eight characters, probably Kurzberg] also worked with the [blank] when [blank, eight characters again] found Arabs who weren't supposed to be in Israel. [Blank, eight characters] had served in the Israeli Army for three (3) years. [Sivan Kurzberg was 23 in 2001.] At the conclusion of the interview, [blank, eight characters] denied having [blank, 26 characters] while residing in the United States; he also denied ever having contact with [blank.]

Section 1, Page 35:

Film obtained from the 35mm camera of one of the detainees was later developed and processed by the Newark Division. The photos clearly corroborate [blank's] statements in that the Israelis are visibly happy on nearly all of the photgraphs [sic]. Further, the photos revealed that the Israelis had taken photographs from both the top of a van and from another location believed to be a parking lot near the Urban Moving Systems location in Weehawken, NJ. (The Bureau should note that based upon the evidence recovery log as completed by Newark, it is unclear which collected items belonged to which Israeli detainee.)

Newark also received information pertaining to another Urban Moving Systems vehicle which had been stopped while traveling westbout [sic] by the Pennsylvania State Police on 09/10/2001, the day prior to the terrorist attack. At 11:30pm, a Penske truck was stopped for a traffic violation. The vehicle was identified as having been leased by Urban Moving Systems of Weehawken, NJ. The individuals questioned, [blank] and [blank] identified as Israeli Nationals, advised that they were bound for Columbus, OH.

On 09/12/2001, the same truck was once again stopped while traveling eastbound in Pennsylvania. [Blank] and [blank] the same Israeli nationals identified earlier, were detained. During questioning by the Pennsylvania State Police, the Israelis advised that they weren't "in New York" on 09/11/2001. A gasoline purchase receipt recovered by the Pennsylvania State Police seems to contradict their claim in that the receipt, dated 09/11/2001, was for gasoline purchased in New Jersey. (Lead set to Williamsport RA presently pending.)

A subsequent interview of the president/owner of Urban Moving Systems revealed that [blank] and [blank] delivery schedule for the morning of 09/11/2001 did not include any pickups or deliveries outside of New Jersey. Oddly, [blank] and [blank] were stopped while traveling in the direction of the site of the hijacked plane that crashed outside of Pittsburgh, PA.

Newark also received information which revealed that on about 1:00pm, 09/11/2001, three dark-skinned males had been observed driving a white van, bearing New Jersey plates, on Spirit Brook Road [should be Spit Brook Road] near Nashua, New Hampshire (just outside of Boston). According to the report, the driver of the van appeared to be lost; the van had a sign on the side for Urban Moving Systems.

A search of Urban Moving Systems, Weehawken, NJ, revealed more oddities which caused the search team leader to characterize the company as a possible "fraudulent operation." Little evidence of a legitimate business operation was found. Evidence recovery agents did seize, however, sixteen (16) separate computer units used by Urban Moving Systems.

The FBI presence at the Urban Moving Systems search site drew the attention of the local media and was later reported on both television and in the local press. A former Urban Moving Systems employee later contacted the Newark Division with information indicating that he had quit his employment with Urban Moving Systems due to high amount of anti-American sentiment present among Urban's employees. The former employee stated that an Israeli employee of Urban had even once remarked, "Give us twenty (20) years and we'll take over your media and destroy your country."

Based on the odd circumstances surrounding Urban Moving Systems, the deception over the alleged usage of a video camera by its Israeli employees, and the observed positive reactions (by the Israeli detainees) to the explosions at WTC, Newark Squad C-9 (SSA [blank] SA [blank], began to focus on the following:

[Blanked off for nearly two pages.]

A search of UNI for any references to [blank] revealed two possible references [blank] and [blank] investigations at San Diego) to [blank] born [blank] which further identified [blank, nine characters] as an [blank, up to 25 characters excluding period, so "intelligence operative" could fit.]

Based on information provided by the Miami Division, Newark detained (initially) and interviewed four (4) employees of Classic International Movers, a New Jersey based moving company which was believed by Miami to have been used by one of the nineteen (19) alleged hijackers involved in the terrorist attacks. All four employees, Israeli nationals, had served in the Israeli military, and entered the U.S. from various locations in South America. [Note: It's quite bizarre that an "Arab terrorist" would use an Israeli moving company. However, if Israelis were posing as "Arab terrorists", it would be remarkable if they didn't use an Israeli moving company.]

[Blanked off paragraphs.]

Section 1, Page 59:

Oxford [Health Plans, an insurance company located at 10 Tara Boulevard, Nashua, New Hampshire] began insuring Urban Moving Systems on 07/01/1997. Urban Moving Systems initially provided an address of 312 Pavonia Avenue #1, Jersey City, New Jersey, 07302. On 07/26/2000, Urban Moving Systems wrote Oxford to change their address to 3 18th Street, Weehawken, New Jersey, 07087, telephone number (201) 558-0210. At that time, Urban Moving Systems also provided a New York address of 446 West 50th Street, New York, New York, 10019, telephone number (212) 664-1268.

Section 1, Page 61:

[Blank] definitely saw the individual identified in the photographs as number 5 within the apartment building at around 3:00 p.m. on 09/10/2001, the day before the interview, as well as here and there during the preceding weekend. The individual was observed entering the elevator in the lobby along with another individual with whom he was conversing, perhaps in Spanish. The manner in which the two men were speaking suggested that they knew each other. The second man was not within the pictures presented.

[...]

Several times during the course of the interview, the interviewee independently volunteered that he was positive that the man identified within the photographs as number 5 was the man he saw in the building. [See: Section 6, Page 44; "number 5" is Sivan Kurzberg.]

Section 1, Page 63:

On 09/11/2001, [blank] woke up at approximately 7:30 AM. She recalls the time because her husband woke her as he got prepared for jury duty in Newark, New Jersey (NJ). As her husband was showering and getting dressed, [blank] prepared the coffee and placed a bagel in the oven.

Her husband went downstairs to purchase a newspaper at to [sic] the store located on the ground floor of the apartment complex. He returned and they had breakfast together.

Her husband then left for jury duty at approximately 8:25 AM or 8:30 AM. She then telephonically contacted GENERAL CAB COMPANY for a cab to take her son, [blank] to [blank]. After she contacted the cab company, her son waited in the lobby area for the cab.

[Blank's] neighbors who reside in apartment [blank] left their daughter, [blank] with [blank] to babysit. As these neighbors left the apartment complex, they saw [blank's son] waiting for the cab so they transported him to college.

At approximately 9:00 AM, [blank] in apartment [blank] telephonically contacted [blank] to tell her that she saw smoke coming from the WORLD TRADE CENTER (WTC), in New York City. [Blank] then grabbed her Binolux binoculars, (lightweight triple tested, 7 x 35 mm, 341 feet at 1000 yards) in order to see the WTC closely.

[Blank] recalls that she was listening to 1010 AM news radio station [this would be WINS] and she did not hear any information regarding the WTC. She recalls that the sun had risen, it was a clear day and there was no fog or clouds.

[Joan Fleischer, an account executive on the WINS sales team, was very close to the Towers from her rooftop on North Moore Street. She noticed a plane flying much lower than she had ever seen before in the New York City skies, and knew it was going to crash. She called the WINS newsroom and spoke to Mark Mason, the former executive editor at WINS. As she said, "There's going to be a plane crash," the plane tilted to the left and slammed into the building. It hit just as she said, "crash". Mason called Fleischer back "from a line that could be patched into the studio on the air", and since they had someone from the station on the scene as it unfolded, they were able to go "with such a live report". The audio was available at this page in 2011, but as of 2015, is no longer available at Long Island Press's own archived version of the page. The audio file is archived here from 2011 by the Wayback Machine, or alternatively, may be downloaded from here.]

["Breaking news now, on 1010 WINS. This just in to our newsroom; a plane has crashed into the World Trade Center. Let's get this live update from 1010 WINS correspondent Joan Fleischer. Joan, what do you see?"]

["Well I'm standing on the top of my roof, and I'm looking at the World Trade Center, and there's a huge hole in it, and there's a fire in the building right now, huge smoke pouring out of it, and things are falling from the building itself. [...] I heard the plane, very close to the top of the buildings. I looked outside, and I saw it hit, and it exploded immediately."]

[At nearly eight minutes into the live report, the second plane hadn't hit - which occurred at 9:03. The eyewitness was listening to the station and could not have missed hearing the news. Thus, this fixes an absolute latest time for the eyewitness to have gone to look outside at 8:55; eight-and-a-half minutes after the first impact at approximately 8:46:30. However, that would be ridiculous because it requires that WINS was so incompetent that it took more than eight minutes to call Joan Fleischer back "from a line that could be patched into the studio on the air" to go live with such an important breaking news report. The Israelis' version of events also requires that CNN's website and the Israeli news site YNET were so quick off the mark that they had already posted the news on their web sites for the Israelis to read about it. Then the three Israelis had to have collectively decided that the event was worthy of taking time off work to go away and "document" it for historical purposes, collected cameras, back packs and notebooks, rushed out to their employer's van, driven through rush-hour traffic to an observation point chosen on the spur of the moment that is normally a four or five-minute drive from Urban Moving Systems' office, driven into the Doric Towers apartment complex at 100 Manhattan Avenue in Union City, around to the rear parking lot, parked at an angle to the fence so that the front of the van faced in a south-southeast direction towards the WTC, got out of the van with the cameras, climbed onto the roof, and started their cameras rolling, all before the local AM news station managed to announce the breaking news.]

[It's pretty obvious that the Israelis were sighted by this eyewitness at 8:51 or earlier (see Section 3 page 67), making the Israelis' version of events physically and scientifically impossible without a suspension of the laws of causality and General Relativity. And this is corroborated by the fact that the eyewitness' friend was prompted to telephone her "immediately" after hearing the first plane crash, looking out and seeing the smoke; by another eyewitness who saw the Israelis "less than 5 minutes" after the first plane impact; by a third eyewitness who saw a white van with no side windows arrive and park in the same apartment block rear parking lot at 8:15 and found it was gone by 9:20; by a fourth eyewitness who saw a white van parked in the same parking lot and estimated the time to be as early as 8:00am; and by a fifth eyewitness who spotted Sivan Kurzberg at the Doric Towers apartment complex the day before 9/11.]

Using her binoculars [blank] looked through her rear window. Then she opened the balcony door and walked onto the balcony. As she looked in the direction of the WTC, she observed three (3) males kneeling on the roof of a white van in the rear parking lot of her apartment complex. She noticed them and it appears as though they noticed her.

[Blank] recalls that all of the males were white, males, in their mid-twenties, no facial hair, no glasses, "clean cut", no hats, all wearing short sleeve shorts [shirts], with lean builds.

She recalls that one male (Male #1) had light hair which was cut very short. The top of his hair appeared somewhat "curly" or "wavy". He was wearing a white tee shirt and light blue jeans, with a hole in the left knee. He was also smoking cigarettes. She believes that she has the best memory of this male. [Probably Sivan Kurzberg, whose hair is very short and lighter than Ellner's, although Sivan was wearing a gray and black shirt when arrested.]

[Blank] can not recall too many specifics regarding the second male (Male #2). She believes that she has the weakest recollection of this male. [Probably Yaron Shmuel, who then had long, wavy hair.]

[Blank] recalls that the third male (Male #3) had dark colored, short hair which appeared straight. [Probably Oded Ellner, whose hair was short, dark and straight. Thus, Ellner would be the cameraman, consistent with the fact that both Shmuel and Sivan Kurzberg are known to have been visible in the celebratory photographs, and Ellner would later say, "Our purpose was to document the event".]

[Blank] noticed that the white van on which the males were kneeling appeared to be a "box van". It did not have windows on the side of the van, and it reminded [blank] of a "phone company van".

The van was not parked perpendicular to the fence. Instead, the front of the van faced in a southeast direction. Male #1 knelt on the roof above the front, passenger side of the vehicle, and he faced the apartment complex. Male #2 knelt on the roof above the front, driver's side of the vehicle, and he faced the apartment complex. Male #3 knelt on the rear portion of the roof of the vehicle, and he faced New York City.

[As seen in the image below, the back of the apartment complex faces approximately east-southeast. The WTC is approximately south-southeast of Doric Towers. Click here for a Google Maps street view of Doric Towers, 100 Manhattan Avenue, Union City, NJ.]

Male #3 appeared to be taking still photographs and video of Males #1 and #2 with the WTC in the background. All of the males appeared to be jovial. They smiled, they hugged one another, and they appeared to "high five" one another.

[Blank] is certain that the first fire at the WTC had just started. The second explosion had not yet occurred when she noticed these males. There did not appear to be any other persons in the parking lot area.

As the vehicle pulled away, [blank] recorded the license plate on a small piece of paper contemporaneously. She recorded the New Jersey license plate as being JRJ-13Y. She later provided this piece of paper to SA [blank].

[Blank] did not contact the local police department at the time. Instead, she waited until her husband returned from jury duty. She informed him of the incident and he suggested that they contact the local police.

Section 1, Page 71

When asked about URBAN MOVING COMPANY, [blank] stated he had only heard of them recently when [blank] a tenant in apartment [blank] called on Sunday, 09/09/2001, and stated he and his wife, [blank] would be moving out of the building Monday morning, 09/10/2001. [Blank] stated in the message that URBAN MOVING COMPANY would be moving them. [Blank] thought this odd, because [blank] had paid through the end of September and had not given an earlier notice of his intention to move.

Section 1, Page 73:

When questioned about URBAN MOVING COMPANY, [blank] stated he did not know them very well, but recalled them moving the tenants of apartment [blank] out of the building on Monday, 09/10/2001. There were three male movers with foreign accents. They drove a white box truck that had a red cab. The driver was very tall and skinny. [Blank] stated none of the photographs shown to him were of the movers.



The tenants of [blank] were a young couple that were very quiet. The mans [sic] name was [blank] did not drive. [Blank] took a cab to the path station in Hoboken every morning for work.

[Blank] gave [blank] a note containing his and his wife's names and a cellular telephone number of [blank] on Monday, 09/10/2001, and asked [blank] to call him when the movers arrived. The note will be maintained in a 1A with the case file.

Section 1, Page 80:

On September 13, 2001, three copies each of seventy-six 8X10 black and white photographs, along with the film negatives, taken on September 11, 2001, in connection with the investigation of a 2001 white Chevrolet van, vehicle identification number 1GCEG15W4Y1142815, listed to URBAN MOVING SYSTEMS, 312 Pavonia Avenue, #1, Jersey City, New Jersey and bearing New Jersey registration JRJ-13Y, were received by Special Agent [blank] FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION, from [blank] Forensic Photography Unit, NEW JERSEY STATE POLICE Headquarters, West Trenton, New Jersey.

Section 1, Page 83:

[Blank] was telephonically interviewed on Friday, 09/14/2001, at approximately 7:35 AM, by Supervisory Special Agent (SSA) [blank] and Special Agent (SA) [blank], Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). After being advised of the identities of the interviewing agents and the nature of the interview, [blank] provided the following information:

In the morning hours of 09/11/2001, [blank] observed three (3) males on top of a white van with one (1) camera. [Blank] believes that it was a video recording device, rather than a still camera. [Blank] recalls that the camera was a small, handheld unit, with a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) screen. She recalls that one of the unknown males was holding the camera up to his facial area and moving the camera, slowly from side to side. She described this motion as "panning the area". [Blank] also recalls the males appeared to be "horsing around".

Title: TWIN TOWER BOMBING



Details: The Israelis were observed near Liberty State Park New Jersey celebrating and photographing the World Trade Center (WTC) explosion within minutes after the WTC was first hit by an aircraft. It should be noted that there were inconsistencies in the statements made by [blank] who stated that the van he was in was on the West Side Highway in New York at the time of the attack on the WTC. [Thus, this individual is Yaron Shmuel, as identified in the police report. The fourteen characters are probably Yaron Shimuel, plus a comma.] However, he is clearly visible in photographs (enclosed) which he and other occupants in the van had taken from a roof top parking garage located at 100 Manhattan Avenue, Jersey City, New Jersey, within minutes after the first WTC building was struck by an aircraft. [So Yaron Shmuel and Sivan Kurzberg - who, as reported by The New York Times, was shown in one photograph "holding a lighted lighter" - both appear in the photos of the happy, celebrating Israelis.]

[Note: The Israelis were seen on the roof of the rear parking lot for the Doric apartment complex at 100 Manhattan Avenue, Union City, not to be confused with 100 Manhattan Avenue, Jersey City.]

Investigation into the activities of the following five persons was conducted at Newark:

1. [Blank] DOB: [Blank]

2. [Blank] DOB: [Blank]

3. [Blank] DOB: [Blank]

4. [Blank] DOB: [Blank]

5. [Blank] DOB: [Blank]

[#4 is twenty characters followed by a comma; hence Omer Gavriel Marmari. #5 is eleven characters plus a comma and whitespace before "DOB"; hence Oded Ellner. #2 is Yaron Shmuel, #1 is probably Sivan Kurzberg, and #3 is probably Paul Kurzberg.]

A white Chevrolet van, year 2000, with New Jersey license plate JRJ13Y and URBAN MOVING SYSTEMS written on the back, was observed at 100 Manhattan Avenue, Jersey City, New Jersey, just after the first impact of an aircraft into the World Trade Center. Three individuals associated with this van were observed celebrating after the initial impact and subsequent explosion of the WTC.

On 9/11/2001, Police Officer [blank] of the East Rutherford New Jersey Police Department was diverting traffic from Route three East, due to the attack on the (WTC). During this work detail he received a national broadcast message related to the attack on the WTC which requested a "look out" for a white Chevrolet Van with New Jersey license plate JYJ13Y carrying 3 or more individuals.

At 3:56 PM Officer [blank] observed a white van traveling much slower than the rest of the traffic flow heading East. The vehicle matched the license plate information sent in the broadcast message and was stopped. Five individuals were removed from the van. While being removed from the vehicle [blank=Oded Ellner] said he was Israeli and that they were going to [blank=Lawrence] street in Brooklyn to stay with a roommate. He could not provide the exact address. He was in possession of $4,700 in cash which he kept in a white pouch. While being removed from the vehicle [blank=Sivan Kurzberg=14 characters] said, "We are Israeli, We are not your problem. Your problems are our problems, the Palestinians are the problem". While being removed from the vehicle [blank=Yaron Shmuel, spelt as "Shimuel" in these reports] told Officer [blank] "We were on the West Side Highway during this incident".

After looking at the photographs, [blank] asked the interviewing agent if everyone at UMC was Israeli. The interviewing agent asked [blank] why he would ask such a question. [Blank] responded that he also carries the insurance policy for MOISHES MOVING COMPANY located near the entrance of the Hoboken Tunnel. DIA [Debellis Insurance Agency, Inc.] has had the insurance for MOISHES for approximately one year.

[Blank] explained that the movers at MOISHES are all subcontractors. There are approximately 6 to 12 at any given time. [Blank] stated DIA carries separate insurance policies on each subcontractor's business. The subcontractors are all young individuals from Israel just out of the military. [Blank] stated he knows this because the subcontractors talk openly about their experiences. [Blank] also stated the subcontractors seemed to be all hard working nice individuals.

[This section is mostly about the insurance for Urban Moving's vans. Pages 71-74 contain the police report of the Israelis' arrest with the names blanked out. However, the police report is available separately with the names displayed. Or see images below.]

Date of transcription 09/17/2001

[Blank] Union City, New Jersey, telephone number [blank] birthdate [blank] social security account number [blank] was interviewed at her residence. After being advised of the identities of the agents and the nature of the interview, she provided the following information:

[Blank] was in the kitchen of her apartment shortly before 9:00am on 09/11/2001. She received a telephone call from [blank] a friend who lives in apartment [blank] in the building. [Blank] told [blank] that there was smoke coming from the World Trade Center (WTC). [Blank] looked out her window and saw smoke coming from the towers. [Blank] ended the call and [blank] took a pair of binoculars and walked over to the window. When she looked out, she also noticed a white van parked in the parking lot for her building, approximately five or six parking spaces from the south end of the lot, in a direct line between her and the WTC. There were three young men on top of the van, which was parked at an angle pointing directly at the WTC. She saw one of the males holding a small video camera. One of the men had his hand on the shoulder of the other and they appeared to be happy and "joking around".

[Blank] said she could not see the rear license plate of the van because a sun deck attached to the building blocked her view. However, when the van departed several minutes later, the vehicle backed out, backed down the driveway from [blank's] right to left, and then backed into a space in front of [blank] while making a K-turn, giving [blank] an unobstructed view of the rear of the vehicle.

Approximately two hours after the above interview, [blank] was contacted by telephone and asked for further information about the video camera she believed was utilized by one of the men. [Blank] described it as a small, dark colored video camera and said she observed a "pop-out" screen on the side of the unit that displayed the image seen through the lens. She noted that the male using the camera held it up continuously for several minutes and moved it around, as if he were panning the view.

[Blank] date of birth [blank] social security number [blank], residing at [blank] Union City, New Jersey, was interviewed at his place of employment [blank] New York, New York. After being advised of the official identity of the interviewing agent and the purpose of the interview, [blank] provided the following information:

[Blank] advised on 09/10/2001 he saw two people, one of whom was previously identified in a photograph by [blank]. Further investigation identified the person in the photograph to be [blank=fourteen characters, confirmed as Sivan Kurzberg, Section 6 pages 44-45], date of birth [blank] entering the elevator in the lobby of the Doric apartment complex (DORIC) located at 100 Manhattan Road. [Blank] was conversing with another man about [blank] [blank] believed the two men to be friends or co-workers because of the manner in which they spoke to one another.

[Blank] and recalled the time to be 3:00 pm. [Blank] knew this to be the time because he was looking forward to Monday night football and kept checking the time.

[Blank] recalled seeing [blank] on one other occasion in the lobby of the DORIC on the 7th or 8th of September in the late afternoon. [Blank] did not speak to [blank] on that occasion.

[Blank] provided the following description of [blank]

Clothes: Blue jeans, white T-shirt, green bandana around head.

Section 3, Page 22:

[Blank] works for HELICOPTERS INC., based at LINDEN AIRPORT and having their headquarters in St. Louis. [Blank] is his manager, telephone [blank]. The company supplies pilots for news programs. On 9/11/01, he was flying a helicopter that was covering traffic for 880 A.M. radio. He was south of the George Washington Bridge (GWB) when he saw the first airplane crash into the World Trade Center (WTC). The helicopter was in LaGuardia Airport's airspace at this time, and he estimated that the helicopter was at approximately 1,500 feet altitude.

After seeing the first crash, he flew the helicopter towards WTC. He estimated that it only took a couple minutes to reach that area. He hovered over the Hudson River in the area of the Holland Tunnel at approximately 1,100 feet altitude. He remained there for the second crash. Within a couple of minutes, the New York Police Department ordered him to leave the airspace. He landed the helicopter in New Jersey and did not return. He recalled that there was a Cessna flying in the lower bay off the Southern tip of Manhattan.

[Section 3, Page 35 reveals how the FBI refer to 09/11/2001 as "the day of Twinbom".]

Section 3, Page 61:

[The length of this interviewee's name is twenty characters, so it's likely to be Omer Gavriel Marmari. Subsequently confirmed by his Manhattan address.]

[Blank=Marmari] attended high school at [blank,] Israel where he majored in Psychology. He speaks Hebrew and English and knows a few phrases in Arabic and Yiddish. His [blank] DOB [blank] is a [blank] and his [blank] DOB [blank] is a [blank.] Also living in his home are his [blank] age [blank] and [blank] a [blank] age [blank] DOB [blank.]

[Blank=Marmari] served in the Israeli army from [blank] through [blank.] [Blank] does not possess a security clearance and his duties included being a supply clerk in charge of ordering computer related supplies. Toward the end of his first year he [several lines blanked off.] [Blank] is allergic to various allergens, including pollen, dust, and certain clothing materials. Nonetheless, he requested a cigarette during his interview and stated he [blank.] [Blank] was told that smoking was not permitted and was provided juice instead.

[Blank=Marmari] first visited the United States (US) when he was [blank] years old, on a ten year visa, with his [blank.] Since they did not have friends or relatives in the US, they stayed at a hotel, name unknown, located on 8th Avenue and 47th Street, Manhattan, New York (NY). He and his [blank] toured NY and New Jersey (NJ) and also shopped in the metropolitan area. [Blank's] only other visit to the US was on 07/10/2001, when he arrived at JFK International Airport aboard Olympics Airlines. From the first night in NY, he stayed with a friend from Israel named [blank] age [blank.] [Blank] is a former Army acquaintance who now builds stages for concerts in the NY area. Their apartment is located at [blank, probably 509 West 212th Street, twenty-two characters including comma] Manhattan, NY. The rent for the apartment is $900 a month which he splits with [blank.] Since he was eighteen, [blank] has traveled alone to England (twice), Amsterdam (twice), France, Italy, Germany, Greece, Austria, Switzerland, India, Nepal, and Sinai. During his youth, he traveled with his family to Hungary, Poland, and Czechoslovakia.

Since his arrival in NY, [blank=Marmari] searched for employment but because he did not have a valid work visa he had a difficult time finding a job. After responding to an Israeli newspaper ad and making several calls, he was hired as a household goods mover about [blank] ago by [blank] (last name unknown), (lnu)), at Urban Moving Systems (UMS), Weehawkin, NJ. [Blank] was not referred to UMS by anyone and did not know anyone employed by UMS prior to his first day of employment. However, about two weeks ago, an UMS employee recognized him as a former Israeli army member. Up to the time of his arrest, 09/11/2001, [blank] had worked [blank] days a week for a [blank] week period. Since he was afraid that he would be prosecuted for illegally working in the US on a visitor's visa, [blank] lied to FBI agents on 09/11/2001 when he told them that he had worked for UMS for only one day.

[Blank=Marmari] identified his immediate supervisor as [blank] and the "big boss" as [blank] (lnu). [Blank] never asked him for a worker's visa and has only paid in for a few hours of work although he worked at UMS for a [blank] week period. [Blank] is certain that [blank] is aware that most of UMS' Israeli workers are working there illegally. [Blank] identified other UMS workers as being Russian, Hungarian, and Georgian nationals. [Blank] has never used the computers at UMS as he uses the one in his apartment.

[Blank=Marmari] advised he barely knew the other Israeli workers at Urban Movers other than the four he was with at the time of the arrest. He noted that on September 10, 2001, he was with the other four [blank] at [blank's] apartment in Brooklyn. [Blank] knew that [blank] and [blank] were [blank] but was unsure of their last names.

[Blank=Marmari] advised that he has never had contact with anyone associated with US intelligence or other foreign intelligence agencies. He advised that to his knowledge he has never been in contact with anyone associated with Israeli Intelligence. [Blank] noted that recently a lady friend of his, [blank] age [blank,] came to the US from Israel and stayed with [blank] for four days until her apartment, location unknown, was vacated. [Blank] is the only individual he knows who works for the Israeli government but he does not know what she does at work or what agency employs her. [Blank] is also a student at Israel University and although [blank] did not know her date of birth, he provided her Israeli telephone number as [blank.]

On 09/11/2001, [blank's=Marmari's] alarm clock was set to ring at 7:30 a.m., however, he did not hear the clock's alarm sound and when he awoke, he noticed the time was just before 8:00 a.m. He dressed in a hurry and rushed to the subway station in an attempt to arrive at Urban Moving Systems (UMS) by 9:00 a.m., the time his work shift normally begins. [Blank] left his [blank,] Manhattan, New York (NY) residence at approximately 8:05 a.m. and boarded the southbound "A" train at the 207th Street and Broadway station at about 8:20 a.m. Approximately 40 (forty) minutes later, [blank] detrained at the West 42nd Street station and proceeded to the Port Authority bus terminal where he usually broads [sic] bus number 126 at platform 204. While walking through the terminal, he noticed many commuters running towards television monitors located throughout the terminal. He was curious to learn what the commotion was about but continued to the bus platform because he knew he was behind his normal schedule and did not want to delay his trip any further. On one occasion [blank] was able to walk close enough to a television to notice that what had captured everyone's attention was what appeared to him to be buildings on fire. He was able to confirm this fact when he heard commuters on line to broad [sic] bus 126, and later during the bus ride to work, discussing a fire at the "Twin Towers."

At about 9:00 a.m., [blank=Marmari] boarded bus 126 bound for his job at Weehawkin, New Jersey (NJ). He exited the bus at it's [sic] first stop in NJ which is located in the proximity to the Lincoln Tunnel's NJ entrance. From the bus stop he could clearly see the Twin Towers burning and he believes that they were still erect at the time. [Blank] was in shock and in a state of disbelief and for a moment he rationalized the event he was witnessing as special effect illusions similar to those appearing in the movie "Independence Day." Nonetheless, he knew it was not an illusion and hurried to work. [Blank] arrived at UMS sometime between 9:15 and 9:20 a.m. and found that [blank] (lnu), [blank] (lnu), [blank] (lnu), [blank] (lnu), the [blank] (name unknown), and [blank.]

Upon entering the building, [blank=Marmari] reported to the box packaging area where [blank, five characters, Suter?] was to begin training him in UMS' secondary business which consists of selling boxes generally used to package household and personal belongings. Since [blank, Suter?] was taking [blank's] car to the car wash, [blank] began assembling boxes on his own. At about 11:00 a.m., [blank] told him that "they are taking down the second building" and that they were going to see from the roof. At the time, [blank] believed that the authorities had purposely collapsed the building to prevent the additional damage that would be cause [sic] by the building tumbling to its side. It was not until later that night when he saw a TV news report in jail that he realized that the planes had caused the building's collapse.

[Blank, twenty-five characters] and he then climbed on top of a truck and made their way to UMS' roof. They spent about 10 to 15 minutes on the roof whereat he took one photograph of [blank, five characters, Suter?] and [blank, four characters] together, and [blank] and the others took various other photographs. [Blank=Marmari] identified the only camera, SLR or otherwise, he saw that day as the one that [blank] had recently purchased for [blank] to use on [blank's] upcoming trip to India. [Blank=Marmari] does not recall ever seeing anyone in the group with a video camera or tripod and does not recall seeing the items during the only time he visited [blank's] apartment on 09/10/2001.

[Blank=Marmari] advised that while the group was on the roof, they just took pictures and moved from roof to roof looking for the best vantage point. There were no arguments among anyone in the group and they spent most of the time viewing the damage to the "Twin Towers." When they came down from the roof, [blank=Marmari] borrowed money for lunch from [blank] and he walked to the deli down the block from UMS where he purchased a ham sandwich. [Marmari is not fanatical about keeping kosher.] [Blank=Marmari] spent about 15 minutes in the deli and learned that the tunnels had been closed. When he got back to UMS he was told that UMS had closed and that they had been dismissed. Since he had no other way of getting home, [blank] accepted [blank's] invitation to sleep overnight at his apartment. They went back inside UMS where [blank] queried the Internet to find alternate ways of driving into Brooklyn. About 30 minutes, [blank,] [blank] and he left UMS in the white van. [So the false-flag operation's been completed, the Mossad's "moving company" front has become redundant for another few years, the "movers" have just been fired, but they still get perks such as use of company computers and use of the company van for commuting home from work?!] [Blank=Marmari] stated he jumped into the back of the white van where he fell asleep on top of blankets.

[Blank=Marmari] was later awoken, time unknown, when the van made a stop and someone placed skis and a red bag in the back of the van. He then went back to sleep as the van began to move again. The next time he awoke he heard a police officer ask [blank] for his driver's license and within a minute they were arrested at gunpoint and were taken to jail.

[Blank=Marmari] stated "Israel now has hope that the world will now understand us. Americans are naive and America is easy to get inside. There are not a lot of checks in America. And now America will be tougher about who gets into their country."

[Blank=Marmari] was shown a photocopy of a note pad recovered during the arrest and search of 9/11/2001. He advised that the number [blank] is the bank account number for a friend (girl) who lent him two hundred dollars. He was advised to deposit the money in the account after he earned the money. [In reality, the account was probably set up and the "loan" story concocted in case the telephone number was found, in order to cover up Marmari's intelligence links with so-called "Islamic militants in the middle east" via the South American individual. See Section 6 page 40.] The number [blank] is for a Moroccan named [blank.] [Blank] is a hashish dealer in the New York Metropolitan area. [Blank=Marmari] advised that many of the telephone numbers are for friends and acquaintances in Israel and the US. The back half of the note pad is a story he is writing about his travel around the world. It is written in Hebrew.

During the course of the investigation [blank=Marmari] broke down emotionally numerous times and cried. He wondered if he would ever see his family again and questioned the interviewing agents when or if he would be released.

Section 3, Page 67:

[Blank], date of birth [blank] social security account number [blank] residing at [blank] Union City, New Jersey, telephone number [blank], was interviewed at her residence stated above. After being advised of the interviewing agents official identity and the purpose of the interview, [blank] provided the following information:

[Blank] advised on 09/11/2001 she awoke at approximately 8:30 am. She was aware of the time because she looked at her alarm clock which is located next to her bed. After getting up from bed, [blank] explained she went to the kitchen to prepare coffee. As [blank] was preparing her coffee and was watching desperita de america (phonetically spelled) on television channel 41 she head a strange noise. [Blank] explained she went to her window to investigate the sound. She believed that it might have been some of the machinery that is located behind her apartment complex. As she scanned the area behind her apartment she did not see anything until she looked at the World Trade Center (WTC). While looking at the WTC she noticed a small cloud of smoke rising from one of the towers.

[Blank] advised after seeing the she smoke [sic] immediately telephoned her friend, [blank]. [Blank] told [blank] there was smoke rising from the WTC and to look out her window. After speaking to [blank] contacted her [blank] and [blank] telephone number [blank] also paged her [blank] who returned her phone call at 9:19 am according to [blank] caller ID.

[Note: The above evidence shows that the lady who telephoned the main eyewitness to inform her of the disaster was actually prompted to look out of the window by the sound of the impact or explosion as the first plane slammed into the North Tower at approximately 8:46:30 a.m. Thus, assuming it took her two minutes to scan the area before observing the smoke, she then "immediately" went to telephone her friend. Assuming that took a minute, and it took her friend another minute to grab her binoculars, look out the window, and see the van parked with the celebrating Israelis kneeling on its roof, this occurred at approximately 8:50. Thus, within four or five minutes, the Israeli's friend is supposed to have heard about the plane crash on the news and then telephoned the Israeli; the Israeli is then supposed to have browsed both US and Israeli news sites on the internet to read about the event, persuaded his colleagues that the incident was worthy of "documenting" and taking time off work; the Israelis are then supposed to have collected their cameras, back packs and notebooks, rushed out to the company's van to use it for non-work-related purposes during working hours, driven through rush-hour traffic to another observation point that is normally a four or five-minute drive from the office, driven into the apartment complex, around to the rear parking lot, parked at an angle to the fence so that the front of the van faced in a south-southeast direction towards the WTC, got out of the van with their cameras, climbed onto the roof of the van, and started their cameras rolling!!]

Section 3, Page 72:

SA's [blank] and [blank] conducted the review in an attempt to locate the green lighter shown in on [sic] of the photographs, locate evidence of a video camera and to determine the accuracy of the time/date LCD readout on the Canon EOS 2000 camera.

After completing the search of the van and it's [sic] contents, both agents were unable to locate the lighter or video camera and any evidence of a video camera.

An examination of the Canon EOS Rebel 2000 (serial number [blank]) time/date revealed that on 9/20/2001 at 10:03am the camera's readout read 9/19/2001 and 19:22:58. The discrepancy translates that the time/date readout is fourteen hours and forty one minutes late.

On 09/11/2001, [blank] heard of the attacks on the World Trade Center and drove from his residence to Liberty State Park, Jersey City, New Jersey in order to give blood. HE arrived at Liberty State Park sometime between 10:00 AM and 11:00 AM. Approximately 20-30 minutes later, [blank] observed a truck enter Liberty State Park.

The Pennsylvania State Police identified [blank] [blank] holding a Florida State Driver's License with DLN [blank] and residing at the same address as [blank] as a co-driver of the vehicle.

When the vehicle was stopped a second time by the Pennsylvania State Police, it was traveling in an easterly direction. Statements made by the vehicle's occupants contradicted documentation found in the vehicle, as well as statements made by Urban Moving Systems' [blank] as to the vehicle's true destination and purpose.

The Philadelphia office is requested to conduct an interview of both [blank] and [blank] for the purpose of exploring the nature of their relationship with Urban Moving Systems, Inc. and the five (5) employees of Urban Moving Systems, Inc., who are being held on immigration violations.

[Blank, nine characters] stated that on the morning of September 11, 2001, after the WORLD TRADE CENTER (WTC) was struck by the airliners, either [blank, six characters] or [blank, seven characters] stated to her that now you see what they are capable of doing and added that the U.S. will have to get involved now.

Following the interview at [blank's] residence, she was contacted by telephone by SA [blank] at which time she provided the following information:

[Blank] stated that after learning that the WTC was on struck [sic] by airliners, all of the employees went outside of the building to watch. They stayed outside for a little while until [blank] told them to get back to work. When they went back inside, someone, possibly [blank] and/or [blank] went back to the warehouse to look for a television so they could watch the news at work. [Blank] does not recall seeing anybody taking pictures outside the building, although, she does recall that [blank, approximately fourteen characters, Sivan Kurzberg?] had received a new camera from [blank, thirteen characters, Paul Kurzberg?] the day before.

[Blank] stands up from painting the baseboard, looks out of the window, and notices 3 young men taking video and still photographs from atop the roof of the parking garage adjoining Doric Towers. He also see [sic] a white utility van next to the men and a brown van further behind. There were no other people in the parking lot at that time. He believes this occurred between 9:00am and 9:10am. [Blank] exits apartment [blank] and goes to his apartment at [blank] which takes approximately 5 minutes. He looks out of the window and sees both towers on fire. After 6 to 7 minutes he goes to another window in his apartment and sees that the men and both the white and brown van gone.

[Blank] date of birth [blank] 100 Manhattan Avenue, Apartment [blank] Union City, NJ, telephone [blank] was interviewed. After being advised of the official identity of the interviewing agent and the nature of the interview she provided the following information:



At approximately 8:15 a.m. on 09/11/2001, while leaving the above-referenced apartment complex, [blank] observed a white van parking in the rear parking lot of the apartment complex. A male individual appearing to have a brown but not dark complexion, round face, dark hair, approximate age 30's, was driving the van. He drove the van very slowly into the rear parking lot, paused, and backed into a parking spot which, from the front, overlooked the New York City skyline. No passengers were visible. Upon returning to the area, at approximately 9:20 a.m. that same day, the interviewee did not see the van.



The van was white and had no windows on the sides. It appeared to be a utility van for an electric company because the words 'electric supplies', among others, were printed on it. The name of the utility or vendor company, since forgotten, was in red letters on the van. The license tag was not noticed.



Usually, utility or service vehicles at the complex building parked in the front. This vehicle was parked in the back which is why it came to the interviewee's attention. It seemed out of place.

[Blank] is in the United States on a tourist VISA. She worked as a [blank] for [blank] at THE URBAN MOVING COMPANY INC. (URBAN) from approx. [blank] to [blank.] She also [blank line.] She left URBAN because [blank for nearly two lines.]

[Blank, five characters = Suter] had mostly Russian and Israeli men working for him. He places ads in Israeli and Russian newspapers to get people to work for him and pay them cash on a weekly or daily basis. He owns several large moving trucks, and rents a few trucks when it is busy. He also owns a white cargo van with no windows. He normally does not let his workers take his vehicles home with them.

Section 5, Page 31:

[Blank] date of birth [blank] New Jersey, was interviewed at his place of employment, J&S Gulf, 1324 Willow Avenue, Hoboken, NJ, where he pumps gas. After being informed of the identities of the interviewing agents and the nature of the interview, [blank] provided the following information:

[Blank] is an Egyptian citizen [...]

[Blank] began his current job on 8/31/01.

[Blank] stated that he is familiar with a company called URBAN MOVING and that they have an account for gas with the station. [Blank] also stated that trucks belonging to URBAN MOVING come to the station every day, usually in the morning.

On 9/11/01, [blank] was working an 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM shift at the gas station. [Blank] stated that a white van belonging to URBAN MOVING came in for gas in the morning. [Blank] remembered that the driver had short, dark hair. He remembers the driver because the driver had been to the gas station in the past and had spoken some phrases in Arabic to [blank] does not know if any other people were in the van with the driver. [Blank] does not know the name of the driver.

[Blank] does not remember the exact time that the van from URBAN MOVING came in for gas that morning but believes that it was prior to the attack on the World Trade Center because after that occurred, every customer that day had something to say about the event and [blank] is sure that he did not speak of the attack with the driver of the URBAN MOVING van.

Section 5, Page 33:

[Blank] had approx. 20 to 30 men working for his moving company. Most of the people working for him were Polish, Russian and a few Israeli men who mostly stuck together. [Blank=5 characters, e.g. Suter] used to advertise in the Polish, Ukranian and Israeli newspapers to get tourist VISA visitors from those countries to work for him. This enabled [blank] to pay below minimum wage and with cash as to avoid paying taxes and benefits too. [Blank] would also refused [sic] to pay employees knowing that they would not fight him since they are working on a tourist VISA. [Blank] did engage in moving items for both business and residential moves. One of his smaller moving vehicles was a white van with no windows as well as several large moving trucks. He did use several computers with internet access.

[Blank, couple of lines] doesn't usually lend his vehicles out to his workers. He is very tight with his possessions and money. He does make his workers get drivers license and they fill out three pieces of paperwork. It is unknown what this paperwork consists of.

One way to obtain a driver's license quickly and easily is to answer one of the advertisements found in the Israeli newspapers. These ads give numbers to call to get a Florida driver's license in one day with no hassle. You do not need any paperwork to prove who you are. It usually costs from $400 to $500 dollars.

Section 5, Page 35:

On 09/11/2001, [blank] heard of the attacks on the World Trade Center and drove from his residence to Liberty State Park, Jersey City, New Jersey in order to give blood. HE arrived at Liberty State Park sometime between 10:00 AM and 11:00 AM. Approximately 20-30 minutes later, [blank] observed a truck enter Liberty State Park. The truck was new, either a 2000 or 2001 model year GMC box trunk with dual rear wheels. The box had rivets on the outside which indicated to [blank] that the inside was lined with wood. There were silver caps on the top front corners on the box and the rear had a roll-up door. The box was approximately 14 feet high and 16-18 feet long, similar in dimensions to a Ryder rental truck. The side of the box had a sign which said Urban Moving in black letters. [Blank] did not recall the exact words, but recalled it contained wording to the effect of Urban and a moving company along with an unrecalled (973) telephone number. The truck had no apparent dings, dents or scratches on it and was remarkably clean for a moving truck. The truck backed into a parking space near the pier, within 50 feet of the water. [Blank] did not see anyone exit the vehicle. [Blank] recalled that the Urban Moving truck left Liberty State Park just after an announcement was made to close Ellis Island. At this time, [blank] saw three males approach and enter the vehicle. [Blank] viewed the males from a distance of approximately 40-45 yards.

[Blank] described UNSUB 1 as the driver of the van, age: 20's, approximately 5'6" to 5'9", 165-175 pounds and had skin-tone which could have been that of Mexican origin. UNSUB 1 looked light, and didn't look like he would work as a mover. He wore faded blue jeans, white short sleeve tee-shirt, and a black vest, possibly leather. UNSUB 1 also wore a black fanny pack of average size which hung to look as if it contained three to five pounds of weight inside. The fanny pack hung just below UNSUB 1's front left pocket of his jeans. [Blank] did not get a good look at UNSUB 2 or UNSUB 3 and described both of them as being in their 20's, approximately 5'7" and having a stockier build than UNSUB 1, possibly 190-210 pounds. UNSUB 2 carried a Digital or 35mm camera with a zoom lens. The body of the camera was black in color. The three UNSUBS entered the vehicle and departed the area.

Section 5, Page 39:

[Blank, five characters in length] identified [blank] and [blank] as the Urban employees assigned to complete a multi-state delivery of residential goods identified on the long distance delivery bulletin board at Urban as delivery route #31. Route #31 consisted of goods picked up in New York State and New Jersey that were in storage at Urban. The goods originating in New Jersey were to be delivered to Marietta, Georgia. Upon completion of the Georgia delivery, the goods originating from New York State were to be delivered to St. Louis, Missouri. Upon completion of the Missouri delivery, the truck should have been empty, and en-route to pick up goods in Nashua, New Hampshire. The goods from New Hampshire were to be delivered to Lawrence, Massachusetts. [They could have used another van or truck to do the little NH to MA job, completing it the same day with around five hours' traveling time. The circuitous route of New Jersey to Lawrence, MA, via Georgia and Missouri is about forty-five hours of traveling time.]

[Blank] was aware that law enforcement authorities had stopped and detained [blank] and [blank] in Montoursville, Pennsylvania. [Blank] had received a call from law enforcement authorities inquiring about [blank] and [blank.]

Section 5, Page 41:

He was employed by Urban Moving Co., until recently, for approximately [blank] working on a moving van as a helper. He was paid under the table and earned $10.00 an hour. The other helpers all seemed to be Russians, Hungarians and Israelis. They always spoke Hebrew in his presence. He also advised that these other foreign nationals and [blank] of the company, [blank] had frequent meetings in the company's office, and he and the other non-Jewish employees were never invited to join them.

Section 5, Page 42:

[Blank] advised that [blank, fourteen characters=Dominick Suter] was a crook. He would have the delivery teams fill-up the trucks with empty boxes, because he would charge the customers by cubic feet. He would also have some employees stay on the trucks when they were weighed, so that he could charge more.

[Blank] further advised that he not surprised that [blank=fourteen characters=Dominick Suter] is in some form of trouble with the authorities, because he always spoke badly of the United States.

Section 5, Page 43:

On September 11, 2001, numerous complaints received by the FBI-NK revealed that several individuals had been observed celebrating following the initial crash of an aircraft into the WTC. T-1, a resident of Union City, NJ, advised that at approximately 9:00 am, T-1's neighbor, T-2, called T-1 on the telephone to tell T-1 that T-2 saw smoke coming from the WTC. In order to see the WTC more clearly, T-1 used 7x33mm (likely 7x35mm) power binoculars to view the scene from the rear window of T-1's apartment. While looking in the direction of the WTC, T-1 observed three (3) males kneeling on the roof of a white van located in the rear parking lot of T-1's apartment complex. It appeared as though they had noticed T-1 as well.

T-1 described the males as white, mid-twenties, no facial hair, no glasses, "clean-cut," no hats, all wearing short sleeves, with lean builds. Other identifying data was also provided. T-1 described the white van as a "box"-style van which had no windows on the side; it reminded T-1 of a telephone company van.

According to T-1, one of the males appeared to be taking still photographs and video of the other males with the WTC in the background. All of the males appeared to be jovial in that they smiled, hugged one another, and gave "high fives". (See attached photos). As the vehicle later left that area, T-1 recorded the New Jersey State license plate as JRJ-13Y. Later that day when T-1's spouse returned home, T-1 provided the police with the information pertaining to the males.

Another complaint received by FBI-NK revealed a second eyewitness who reported having observed a white van in the same parking lot as described by T-1. This eyewitness, however, observed the van in the parking lot as early as 8:00 am on the morning of the explosions at WTC.

A third complainant later reported having seen, on September 11, 2001, (time not noted), a big, white, model 2000 Chevrolet van, or possibly panel truck or U-Haul truck, bearing the words "Urban Movers" in black lettering along the side. The vehicle was observed in the Liberty State Park's Marine Terminal in Jersey City, NJ, located across the Hudson River from WTC.

Pursuant to this information, East Rutherford, New Jersey police authorities stopped an Urban Moving Systems van at a pre-positioned roadblock. The van, occupied by males similar to those described by witnesses, was traveling eastbound along State Route 3 in New Jersey. Following the stop, police detained the five (5) occupants, all believed to be Israeli Nationals, on the grounds that they may have possessed information pertaining to the WTC explosions. The matter was later forwarded to FBI-NW for further examination. The five occupants were detained for further questioning and later held for violations of their immigration status.

A search of the van and the vehicle's occupants was conducted at the time of the vehicle stop. The vehicle was also searched by a trained bomb-sniffing dog which yielded a positive result for the presence of explosive traces. Swabs of the vehicle's interior were taken, and those samples were sent to the FBI laboratory for further analysis. Final results are still pending.

Seizure of the individuals' property yielded the following: a 35mm camera, several personal telephone-style notebooks, back packs, airline tickets with immediate travel dates for destinations world-wide, Israeli passports (in some case, expired), a German passport, $4,700 in cash belonging to [blank, twelve characters=Oded Ellner,] and $1,022 in cash belonging to [blank]. Student identification cards later believed to be false were also found. Oddly, equipment typically used in a moving company's daily duties was not found, including work gloves, blankets, straps, ropes, boxes, dollies, rollers, etc. Also not found was the video camera that T-1 observed at least one of the males using to film the explosion at WTC.

The five (5) detained Israeli nationals, identified as [blank, blank, blank, blank] and [blank,] were interviewed subject to the limited scope of determining whether a video camera had been used, and if so, where the video camera is to be located now. The results of the individual interviews yielded a wide array of discrepancies with respect to the whereabouts of each of the individuals as it applied to the precise time of the attack on the WTC.

[Blank=eleven characters=Oded Ellner] advised interviewing agents that after having arrived at his workplace, Urban Moving Systems, located at 3 West 18th Street, Weehawken, NJ, around 8:00 am on September 11, 2001, he received a telephone call informing him that the first explosion had occurred. (Note: The first explosion actually occurred at 8:45 that morning.) [Ellner may indeed have received a telephone call at around 8:00 at the office; the cellphone records don't show any calls around that time. But that would have been to confirm that the mission was still on and to instruct him to make his way to Sivan Kurzberg's chosen observation point. So then they stopped for gas on the way, and arrived at Doric at about 8:15 with plenty of time in hand to be sure of "documenting" the event.] [Blank=six characters=Ellner] and his roommates (NFI) got into a company van and departed the workplace for a Gulf gasoline service station. Then, [blank, seven characters, e.g. Ellner,] in the company of his friends, traveled to another location in order to take photographs of the WTC.

[Blank=fourteen characters=Sivan Kurzberg] also stated that he arrived at work (Urban Moving Systems) around 8:00 am. Later, after [blank, six characters, most likely Ellner who claimed to have received a phone call, or could be Shmuel] told [blank=eight characters=Kurzberg] about the explosion at WTC, [blank=eight characters=Kurzberg] looked on the internet and went to the roof of the building to observe the WTC and take photographs. Then, [blank=eight characters=Kurzberg] and friends (NFI) left the office and were caught in heavy traffic. Sometime between 10:00 am and Noon, and while attempting to return to their office, [blank=eight characters=Kurzberg] and his friends (NFI) stopped at a parking lot (adjacent to an apartment building) to take more photographs. [Kurzberg might have browsed Israeli website(s) for instructions after Ellner got his phone call, but Kurzberg's timeline is out by one to three hours in order to turn the physically impossible into the possible.]

[Blank=twelve characters=Yaron Shmuel] stated to one of the police officers after his arrest that the initial explosion occurred while he and the others were on the West Side Highway (Route 9A in New York City) traveling northbound toward the entrance of the Lincoln Tunnel. [Blank=six characters=Shmuel] later informed FBI-NK that he had arrived at work around 8:20 am, and only learned of the crash into the WTC from a co-worker. [Blank, blank, twenty-three characters, e.g. Shmuel, Sivan Kurzberg,] and [blank=eleven characters=Oded Ellner] got into a company van (the one they had used to travel from their residences in Brooklyn, NY to Weehawken, NJ) and traveled to a nearby parking lot to observe the WTC and take photographs. [Blank, blank = seventeen characters=Shmuel, Kurzberg,] and [blank=six characters=Ellner] were at the parking lot for approximately 10 minutes, sometime between 8:30 am and 9:00 am, but returned to Urban Moving Systems before 9:00 am.

Film obtained from the 35mm camera of one of the detainees was later developed and processed by FBI-NK. The photos depict [blank, blank, = twenty-three characters = Shmuel, Sivan Kurzberg,] and [blank=six characters = Ellner] located at an observation point later determined to be the parking lot adjacent to the Doric Tower apartments located at 100 Manhattan Avenue in Union City, NJ. The three (3) Israelis, sitting together on top of a white van, are visibly smiling on at least three (3) of the photographs.

The photographs also revealed that all five (5) Israelis later observed the WTC burning from a location on top of the roof of an Urban Moving Systems warehouse located adjacent to the Urban Moving Systems office location described herein.

At this point, more interviews were conducted to verify the accuracy of their statements, as well as to obtain any additional information concerning the video camera that was allegedly used by the Israelis. One such interviewee, T-3, claimed to have seen [blank=fourteen characters=Sivan Kurzberg, confirmed below as one of the five Israelis] in the Doric Towers on the afternoon of September 10, 2001. According to T-3, [blank=eight characters=Kurzberg] rode the elevator with T-3 and another, unidentified, Spanish-speaking male whom T-3 observed exiting the elevator on Floor 3. T-3 observed [blank=eight characters=Kurzberg] exiting the elevator on Floor 9. Oddly, [blank=eight characters=Kurzberg] identified himself to the Spanish-speaking male as a "construction worker" working in the building until 7:00 pm that night. (Note: T-3 identified [blank=eight characters=Kurzberg] from a photo lineup comprised only of the photographs of the five detained Israelis.)

T-1, the source of the original information pertaining to the Israeli males, was re-interviewed at a later date. T-1 confirmed for interviewing agents that it was a video recording device, rather than a still camera, that the Israelis had used in filming the WTC from atop the van. In fact, T-1 recalled quite clearly that the camera was a small, hand-held unit, with a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) screen which folded out and could be used in "panning".

In the early phases of the investigation, several other complaints surfaced concerning trucks and-or vans belonging to Urban Moving Systems that had been sighted in locations of significance with respect to the overall investigation of the hijacked flights on September 11, 2001. For instance, two (2) complaints were received which indicated that Urban Moving Systems vehicles had been spotted in the greater Boston, MA metropolitan area, one in Plymouth, MA and one in Nashua, NH. Additionally, an Urban Moving Systems truck (traveling westbound) had been stopped on September 10, 2001, near Montoursville, PA. At the time of the vehicle stop, the driver and passenger, [blank] and [blank] were identified as Israeli nationals. Later, the same truck was stopped on September 12, 2001 while traveling eastbound toward New Jersey.

Based primarily on the inconsistencies found in the statements of the five (5) detained Israelis, and the interviews conducted of T-1 and other tenants of the Doric Towers apartments, FBI-NK conducted polygraphs of [blank=eleven characters=Oded Ellner] and [blank, probably five characters=Sivan] [line space] [blank=eight characters=Kurzberg] on September 13, 2001 concerning the issue of whether a video camera had been used to film the crash of an aircraft into the WTC. Both [blank=six characters=Ellner] and [blank=eight characters=Kurzberg] denied that a video camera had been used. [Sentence blanked out. The fact that they classified this, and the fact that the FBI later make a statement about the Israelis' "denials and deception over the alleged usage of a video camera", indicates that Ellner and / or Sivan Kurzberg failed these lie detector tests.]

Based upon the aforementioned facts, FBI-NK then obtained a search warrant to search the offices of Urban Moving Systems in Weehawken, NJ. The search, conducted on September 13, 2001, met with negative results concerning a video camera. Nevertheless, fifteen (15) computers and a network server were seized from the Urban Moving Systems office. FBI-NK noted the unusually large number of computers relative to the number of employees for such a fairly small business. Further investigation identified several pseudo-names or aliases associated with Urban Moving Systems and its operations.

At this point in the investigation, Agents of FBI-NK's Foreign Counterintelligence (FCI) squad were consulted concerning the Israelis. Based upon the odd circumstances surrounding [blank, several lines classified here; see the report in Section 6 starting at page 38 where the issue here is revealed as the Israelis' "denials and deception over the alleged usage of a video camera" and "the noticeably positive reaction demonstrated by the Israeli detainees to the explosions at WTC"] reaction to the explosions at WTC, [blank.]

1. Did the Israeli nationals have foreknowledge of the events at WTC and were they filming the events prior to and in anticipation of the explosion?

[Blanked off paragraph here, which would certainly not have been classified had the answer been "no" together with supporting evidence for such a conclusion.]

[Blank=thirty-four characters, e.g. maps with Doric Towers highlighted / maps with Trade Center highlighted] provided the initial basis for a possible connection between the five (5) detainees and [blank]. [Note: Early reports stated that evidence linking the Israelis to the attacks consisted of maps "with certain places highlighted".] [Blank=eight characters=Kurzberg] admitted to an FBI-NYO polygrapher that he had been employed as a [blank=nine characters, e.g. map maker] in Israel with responsibility for [blank=twenty-three characters] in Israel. He would [plenty of material blanked off here]. [Note: It was Sivan Kurzberg who was at Doric Towers (Floor 9) on 9/10, according to an eyewitness report. Thus, the day before 9/11, Kurzberg would have established that the roof of the rear parking lot was a suitable vantage point for "documenting" plane crashes into WTC1 and WTC2, with the latter being targeted at an altitude of about 1,000 feet.]

Section 5, Page 50:

Based on information provided by the Miami Division, Newark initially detained and interviewed four (4) employees of Classic International Movers (CIM), a New-Jersey-based moving company which was believed by Miami to have been utilized as a mover by one of the nineteen (19) alleged hijackers involved in the terrorist attacks. All four detained employees were identified as Israeli nationals who had [blank] and recently entered the U.S. from various locations in South America.

One of the CIM detainees, [blank] born [blank] was visibly disturbed by the Agents questioning regarding his personal E-mail account. [Blanked off sentence.] Of note is that CIM's telephone number also appeared in one of the aforementioned notebooks seized from the five (5) Israelis already held in detention by FBI-NK.

On September 14, 2001, FBI-NK conducted polygraph examinations of [blank, twelve characters, likely Omer Marmari] and [blank, twelve characters, probably Yaron Shmuel] to determine whether either possessed prior knowledge of the attack on the WTC. Not surprisingly, [blank=eight characters=Marmari,] who was not even present when the initial photographs were taken from the apartment parking lot, [blank, twenty-nine characters, e.g. passed all tests, but Shmuel,] who was present in the parking lot, [blank, nearly one line.]

The [blank] then attempted to determine, based upon witness interview statements, the statements made by the detainees themselves, and by other independent investigation, whether [blank, blank= twenty-three characters, e.g. Shmuel, Sivan Kurzberg,] and [blank=six characters, e.g. Ellner] could have been at the apartment parking lot vantage point prior to the first explosion at the WTC.

FBI-NK obtained witness statements and a gasoline receipt from the Gulf service station where the Israelis had purchased gasoline on September 11, 2001. Investigation determined that the Israelis purchased gasoline at approximately 2:14 pm, which was subsequently corroborated by reviewing the photographs taken by the Israelis that day. One such photograph depicts [blank, six characters, e.g. Shmuel or Ellner] using a squeegee to clean the windows of an Urban Moving Systems vehicle. Because the picture is chronologically one of the last taken that day, the gasoline had to have been purchased after the attack on the WTC.

A review of EZ-Pass records provided little by way of determining the exact location of the Israelis' vehicle (white van) during the actual time of the attack. According to EZ-Pass, the Urban Moving Systems van used by the Israelis to travel from Brooklyn, NY (location of their residences) to Weehawken, NJ on the morning of September 11, 2001 passed through the Brooklyn, NY entrance to the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel at 7:48 am.

FBI-NK obtained the videotape of a local news helicopter crew which provided footage of the explosion beginning just minutes after the initial impact of the aircraft into the North Tower (Tower #1) of the WTC. A comparison of this videotape with the still photographs taken by the Israelis implied that the Israelis [sic] photographs were taken closer in time to the explosion of Tower #2 (South Tower) than to the initial impact into Tower #1. This comparison, albeit non-scientific, corroborated the three Israelis' claim that they departed Urban Moving Systems for the parking lot observation point after hearing of the initial explosion.

Liaison with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) resulted in FBI-NK obtaining a duplicate record of the metropolitan New York Air Traffic Control radar traffic records for the morning of September 11, 2001. By way of background, one of the earliest photographs taken by the Israelis from the parking lot observation point shows what is believed to be a local news helicopter hovering over the Hudson River between the parking lot and the WTC (this helicopter appeared in the foreground of the third photograph taken). The FAA's radar traffic records identify a helicopter, belonging to a local radio station AM 880, slowly traveling in a southerly direction down the Hudson River and then hovering from 8:50 am until 9:03 am, (the time of the crash into Tower #2), at a position between Union City and the WTC on the morning of September 11, 2001. Although the results of this analysis verified that the Israelis were at the parking lot observation point between 8:50 am and 9:03 am, it did not provide a precise time.

According to T-1, it was the call from T-2, who is a neighbor and close friend, which initially prompted T-1 to look out of the window towards the WTC. It was at that time that T-1 had also observed the Israelis atop the white van. Since T-1 believed that T-2's call came immediately after the first explosion at the WTC, FBI-NK attempted to obtain the toll records of T-2's residential telephone for the purpose of determining the exact time of T-2's call. Unfortunately, electronic records of local calls are not maintained by the local telephone service provider; thus, no electronic "time stamp" verifying T-1's observation of the Israelis could be obtained.

An interview of T-5, one of the [blank] at Urban Moving Systems, revealed that T-5 had observed [blank, fourteen characters, but if Sivan Kurzberg, then a lie or mistake by T-5] and [blank, eleven characters, but if Oded Ellner, then also a lie or mistake by T-5] in the local dispatch area of the company upon "clocking in" at work at 8:58 am on the morning of September 11, 2001. [Blank, six characters, e.g. Ellner] was on the internet, [blank, twelve characters, e.g. Yaron Shmuel] was also present. Unfortunately, the second interview of T-5 was not conducted for the purpose of verifying T-5's earlier statements. Instead, the interview produced only additional background on Urban Moving Systems.

The cellular telephone, bearing telephone number [blank] and seized at the time of the vehicle stop, is opined to belong to [blank] since the electronic display shows the name [blank]. [Several blank lines.] [Blank=six characters, Ellner or Shmuel] advised FBI-NK in a follow-up interview that he had called [blank] [line feed] [blank] of Urban Moving Systems, while enroute to the parking lot observation point (100 Manhattan Avenue, Doric Towers) from the office. [Blank=six characters] authorized their departure, and noted that he himself was on his way to the office and expected to arrive there within a minute. [Blank] may, thus, corroborate [blank's] statements with respect to the approximate time when they were at the parking lot.

Section 5, Page 55:

[Dated 09/24/2001]

Details: On 09/11/2001, the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Newark Office (FBI-NK) received reports of several individuals from a white van engaging in celebratory acts after photographing and videotaping the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center (WTC). Pursuant to this information, FBI-NK directed local law enforcement to detain and question these individuals, later identified as [blank, blank] [line feed] [blank] [blank] and [blank. Blank, blank] and both [blank=nine=Kurzbergs] hold Israeli citizenship, while [blank, up to twelve characters, confirmed as Yaron Shmuel in Section 6 page 41] holds a German passport.

Each of the detained Israelis denied having used a video camera during the attacks on the WTC. Nonetheless, two (2) of the detainees, [blank=eleven characters=Oded Ellner] and [blank, approx. fourteen characters, e.g. Sivan Kurzberg] [blanked off sentence]. Numerous discrepancies in their statements, specifically as to their location during the time immediately preceding the attack on the WTC, as well as photographs in which some of the Israelis appear visibly happy by the attacks led FBI-NK to further pursue a possible criminal link between these Israelis and the events associated with the WTC.

A search of the offices of Urban Moving Systems, the employer for all of the Israelis, failed to uncover a video camera. However, FBI-NK discovered several networked computers at Urban Moving Systems, which appeared inconsistent with both the small size of the business and the small number of employees in the office. [Several lines blanked off.]

As a result, the investigation was then referred to Squad C-9, FBI-NK's foreign counterintelligence (FCI) squad, for further review and possible investigation. [Not a good move, since the investigation would lead inexorably to a predictable, politically motivated conclusion.] Two (2) more Israelis, [blank=twelve characters] and [blank=thirteen characters] were later polygraphed [two or three lines still classified].

FBI-NK's FCI squad then attempted to verify the statements made by the five (5) Israeli [sic] as to their whereabouts immediately preceding the attack on the WTC. Due to the on-going tasking of those agents involved with the initial investigation, the FCI squad was unable to obtain a complete written record of all interviews and investigative actions undertaken until several days later. During the course of those days, the FCI squad's independent investigation, to include FCI interviews and polygraphs of the five (5) Israelis, revealed that the five Israelis most likely did not possess prior knowledge of the WTC events. It is opined that the Israelis probably arrived at the parking lot observation point between the first and second attacks on the WTC.

The witness who described the video camera has been interviewed several times, and provided the same statement on each occasion. The disposition of the video camera, and why the Israelis would respond deceptively about possessing such a camera, thus, remains unresolved.

Finally, the number of discrepancies in the statements made by the five (5) Israelis continues to increase. For example, only after [blank=eleven characters=Oded Ellner] was interviewed four (4) times, twice by agents and twice by a polygraph examiner, did [blank=six characters=Ellner] volunteer that [blank=thirteen characters, probably Paul Kurzberg] was not only a [blank] [blank]at a [blank] but also the [blanked off for a few lines].

Investigation at the Newark Office continues.
