The FBI is investigating claims that some people in New York had warning of the 11 September attacks. Detectives confirmed on Friday that several warnings were made, but have yet to find their ultimate source and are still investigating the possible tip-offs, the New York Daily News reported. An FBI spokesman, James Margolin, told the newspaper on Friday: Among the e-mails and tips we received are reports of people overhearing people boasting about or warning about coming attacks. The most serious of the alleged warnings was given by an unnamed pupil at a school in Jersey City, which lies across the Hudson river from where the World Trade Centre stood and where a number of the hijackers lived. The pupil gave the warning several days before the attacks and told people not to travel to lower Manhattan on the morning of 11 September.
