Witness Account of 9/11 Incident

Look, you can't blame me when ABC News speaks to an American witness

who saw what she saw on 9 11. Here's the report.

It began when this

woman was watching the twin towers burning from her apartment in New Jersey.

She noticed three men on top of a van,

posing for pictures with the towers burning in the background.

And I could see that they were like happy, you know, they didn't look shocked to me.

You know, they didn't look shocked. I thought it was very strange.

The witness called police,

who stopped the van hours later and arrested five men.

All five, it turns out, were Israeli.

They were turned over to the FBI.

Sources tell ABC News during a check of national security databases,

some of the men were listed as having had connections with Israeli intelligence.

At the FBI, that set off alarm bells.

Now, the five Israelis who, according to that witness,

were seen celebrating as they were taking photos of the twin towers burning,

later were released back to Israel. They were

interviewed during a talk show, and one of them said, look, we were just there to

document the events.

By the way, the moving truck, they claimed that they were working

for a moving company.

It was a shell organization with ties to Israel.

It wasn't an actual moving company.

Inside the moving truck were all sorts of passports, all sorts of recording devices,

all sorts of strange materials.

But anyway,

that's what I was referring to when I was talking about the celebrating Israelis.

Those five men were Israelis,

and according to that witness, they were seen celebrating.

They seemed jovial as the United States was suffering one of the worst,

actually the worst terrorist attack in American history.

Yeah, so I want to tackle the video and then the overall

charges. So first, about the video, people get really emotional about it.

And they get so, that's so very wrong.

You're not allowed to show an ABC News video.

You're not allowed to show a Fox News video.

They did exhaustive, actually back when they did investigative reporting,

investigative reporting about this as well.

And so it turns out we captured a lot of Israeli spies after 9 11.

And you're not going to be shocked to find out what happened next.

We let them all go. We let

them go. We let them go back to Israel. So those are indisputable facts.

And you can look them up.

So my question is, if those folks, the five spies in that particular story

were confirmed as spies, and they were,

why did we release them?
