This site contains a hyperlinked index of people, places, and organizations found in the 9/11 Report. The information in this site was generated automatically by InFact™, a sophisticated and highly interactive relationship extraction product created by Insightful Corporation (NASDAQ:IFUL), a leading provider of software solutions for analysis of numeric and text data.

Our goal is to provide a way to go through the report and view the events and relationships involving the people, places and organizations mentioned in the document in a way that is abbreviated, and yet meaningful. In order to do this, we try to display the references in the context of other information in the sentence.

For example, if you select "Abu Zubaydah" from the People index list on the next page, you will see this:

 
Actions involving "Abu Zubaydah":
Source Action Target
abu zubaydahaskRessam
Mukhtarassociate withal qaeda lieutenant : abu zubaydah
6,abu : abu zubaydahbe : in millennium plot as point out chaptermajor : figure : in millennium plot

abu zubaydah

What does this mean?

  • This would mean that we found 4 sentences in the report in which Abu Zubaydah was mentioned. For each one, we show the action he was involved in.
  • In the first instance, he was asking somebody named "Rassam" something.
  • In the second instance, somebody named "Mukhtar" was being associated with him. Here Abu's name is on the right, because in this sentence he was not the "source", or performer, of the action, but rather the "target", or reciever of the action.
  • In the third instance, Abu Zubaydah is described as being a major figure in the millenium plot. Note that adjectives or other descriptors that might be helpful are shown in gray.
  • In the fourth instance, a detainee is described as being Abu Zubaydah. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is also mentioned, meaning that he too was described as a detainee in the same sentence.
