The Saudi daily Al-Watan claimed that Fox News' anchor reported that 60 of the arrested Israelis who are suspected of belonging to the espionage ring were investigated with regards to the September 11 attacks, and that American investigators suspect that some of these Israelis had prior knowledge of the planning of the attacks and did not report it to the American authorities.

According to many articles in the Arab media, "Israeli espionage in the U.S." has become central evidence pointing to Israel's involvement in the September 11 attacks. For example, Hassan Suweilim, a retired Egyptian general known for his antisemitic writings, wrote in the Emirates' daily Al-Bayan: "The American investigative apparatuses announced that the spy ring [which was arrested] - meaning the Israeli intelligence apparatus - has concrete information that a large attack against vital American strategic targets between [the dates of] September 9-11 was imminent. Furthermore, eighteen hours prior to the occurrence of the attacks [they had information] that New York's Twin Towers would be that attack's main target. However, in accordance with the orders of the intelligence commanders in Israel, they kept silent and did not tell their American colleagues. The only thing they did was to warn the Jewish community about what was going to happen - which explains the absence of 1,478 Jews from work at the World Trade Center on the day of the attack… the [female] reporter [sic] Carl Cameron from the television network Fox News noted that: 'a number of Israelis knew that the date of the attack was September 11 [but] didn't warn the American authorities' and that 'a group of Israelis who are espionage experts in the Western world were [also] uncovered in North Carolina…'" [12]
