Warnings to NY never reached him, says Giuliani

Warnings of a possible terrorist attack on New York contained in an August 2001 White House briefing paper never reached City Hall, but probably would not have changed local security precautions, former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani told the September 11 commission today.

Giuliani’s testimony was interrupted with angry outbursts by victims’ families, including chants of “One-sided!” and “Put us on the panel!” One man was removed from the hearing after shouting at the panel to “ask some real questions”.
