Then what happened to the missing airliner with it's load of passengers and crew? Except for the many pieces of aircraft and body parts littering the Pentagon grounds no sign of either has been seen since 9-11.

For your theory to be true government would have had to:

a. Know exactly when the attacks would take place. (not just approximately but exactly)

b. Get trained pilots/assassins aboard the right aircraft.

c. Seize control of said aircraft without the pilot being able to radio for help. (two passengers actually did manage to make calls from hidden cell phones)

d. Fly it to some unknown destination, in broad daylight, without anyone either on the ground or aboard the aircraft seeing what was happening. (anything flying after 10am would definitely have been noticed BTW)

e. Murder 64 people. (or 59 if you think the hijackers were imagined)

f. Dismember and move their body parts along with pieces of the aircraft out to the supposed crash site while making sure that both types indicate damage consistent with an airliner crash. They identified 184 0f 189 victims and all five of those imaginary terrorists so not just any body parts will do.

g. Get the dozens of eye witnesses to lie about seeing the aircraft plow into the side of the building.

h. Fake ATC radar tracks at not one but two different airports.

i. Manage to wire and blow up the Pentagon without anyone spotting anything, especially the 125 military and civilian personnel who were killed in the attack.

That's an awful lot for a two hour window from takeoff at 8:10am to when the world turned it's eyes on the crash site at 9:37am.

There were also explosives in the WTC towers (sheared off steel girders at the basement).

Source? FYI the buildings did not collapse from the basement so even if true that would have been a total failure.

Some information about this 'attack' has been known or at least been expected before, by at least one foreign secret service agency who did not inform their colleagues.
Either one of the US own secret services also knew it before and used it for whatever, or they failed completely.

There were indeed several intelligence agencies both foreign and domestic that had heard something about a potential terrorist attack but you have to remember that they deal with dozens of potential terrorist plots every day. It's a lot easier to pick out the real from the fake after the fact than it is beforehand.
