NEW YORK, Oct 30: The US Justice Department has not released a final chapter of the Sept 11 commission's report related to conflicting accounts of efforts to track and chase the jets hijacked that day , and is unlikely to do so before Tuesday's vote, The New York Times reported on Saturday.

Meeting a pre-election deadline for release of the full report had been a top commission priority, the report stressed.

"Drawing from this unpublished part of the inquiry, the commission quietly asked the inspectors general to review what it had determined were broadly inaccurate accounts provided by several civil and military officials about efforts to track and chase the hijacked aircraft on Sept 11," thepaper said.

"In testimony before the commission, officials had described a quick response to the hijackings that narrowly missed intercepting some of the planes, but the investigators later determined from documentary evidence that none of the military planes were anywhere near the four airliners," the report added.-AFP
