Russian President Vladimir Putin had warned his then-American counterpart George W Bush of an impending terrorist attack two days before the 9/11 attacks in 2001, former CIA analyst George Beebe has said in his book. Putin told Bush that it was "something long in preparation" coming out of Afghanistan, Beebe wrote. Around 3,000 people were killed in the 9/11 attacks.
