FBI whistleblower 'vindicated' over intelligence services failings
By Andrew Buncombe in Washington
15 January 2005


The credibility of Sibel Edmonds, the former FBI translator who claimed that evidence gathered before 11 September revealed al-Qa'ida was planning to attack America, was boosted yesterday by a report issued by the US Justice Department.

A report by the department's senior oversight official, Glenn Fine, said that other accusations made by Mrs Edmonds relating to poor standards in the FBI's translation department and possible espionage, were supported by witnesses and other evidence. The official said even today the FBI had not properly investigated the claims. "We found that many of Edmonds' core allegations relating to the were supported by either documentary evidence or witnesses other than Edmonds," the report said.

Last year Mrs Edmonds, 34, a former contract linguist who had "Top Security" clearance, revealed to The Independent that information she saw while working at the FBI showed there was a substantial amount of evidence gathered prior to 11 September that suggested al-Qa'ida was planning to attack.
