A special episode of the Leste/Oeste program was entirely dedicated to the 25 years since the September 11, 2001 attack, which occurred in New York. The special addresses the circumstances and consequences of the worst terrorist attack in the history of the United States.
The main revelation presented in the program is that the CIA knew about the existence of a terrorist group with hostile intentions against the United States, but did not share this crucial information with the FBI. This communication failure between the American intelligence agencies is pointed out as one of the factors that contributed to the attack not being prevented.
The special explores the intelligence failures that preceded the attack, including the lack of cooperation between different government agencies in the United States. The failure to share information between the CIA and the FBI is highlighted as a significant gap in the American national security system at the time.
The Leste/Oeste program, which airs in a special time slot, dedicated its entire edition to commemorating the 25 years since the tragedy that killed nearly three thousand people and forever changed international security policy.
