Relatives of the Sept. 11 victims ripped into Condoleezza Rice yesterday after she insisted the Bush administration had no clue the U.S. would be attacked.

"Shame," Terry McGovern, a New Yorker whose mother was killed, yelled at the national security adviser during Rice's testimony before the 9/11 commission.

Other relatives ridiculed Rice's assertion that she had no idea that Osama Bin Laden's men would hijack planes and crash them into the World Trade Center and Pentagon.

"How could she not know that?" asked Kristen Breitweiser, who lost her husband in the attacks. She noted that several similar threats were made, including during the Atlanta Olympics.

"It's her job to know about national security threats facing the nation. If she doesn't know that, than who does? Who else is responsible?" Breitweiser asked.

Unlike former terrorism czar Richard Clarke, Rice did not apologize to the family members for the government's failure to prevent the catastrophe.

"As an officer of government on duty that day, I will never forget the sorrow and the anger I felt," Rice said.

But Rice's words won few converts in the audience.
