Former U.S. President Bill Clinton revealed that the CIA withdrew from a plan to target Osama bin Laden before the September 11, 2001 attacks due to concerns about civilian casualties. He explained that the agency believed that the failure of the operation could result in the deaths of many innocent people, even though he believed that bin Laden posed the greatest threat to national security. He also expressed hope that U.S. forces had been able to capture bin Laden alive, as he thought that would be more beneficial. Clinton added that the plan to target bin Laden would have succeeded if the agency had not pulled out, and he wished they had done more to find him, considering the threat he posed as worth the risk.
