No. Probably not. Though the age-old question of why 9/11 happened and who caused it is still pretty much a mystery with only half-answers.

The funding for the 9/11 terrorists came via the Philippines even some of the planning could have been done there.
Now you see how this evil is spread around the globe.

No. Mindinao and Sulu Provinces are the "home turf" of Abu Sayef. It's an off-shoot group from Jema Islamiyah, the group which carried out the Bali, Indonesia bombings. Jema Islamiyah predates Al Queda by nearly twenty years, yet they are both Salafist Jihadist groups. Jema Islamiyah's goal is to establish an Islamic "super state " consisting of Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and the southern Phillipines. Members of Abu Sayef did intend to carry out mid-Pacific hijackings of U.S. commercial planes a few years before the attack on America of September 11, 2001, followed by the crashing of those planes into targets on the West Coast.

yes because the philippines are really poor and the terrorists could afford to train real cheap.

I'm not sure, but I know the terrorist pilots trained right out of America in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

I do know some of them did train in Florida, there is a lot of speculation that it was with underlying US government sanction
