[MAIL] The FBI tried to flip a high-ranking Saudi official suspected of assisting 9/11 hijackers by confronting him with child porn on his computer - despite telling the public the Saudi government wasn't involved in the terrorist attacks, a new report claims. Porn and debauchery utilized as an FBI elicitation technique? Who knew ?
In a deposition last month, obtained by Yahoo News, Mussaed al-Jarrah

Al-Jarrah worked in the Ministry of Islamic Affairs at the Saudi Embassy in Washington, DC, in the late 1990s and early 2000s and is suspected of providing money, lodging and other help to two of the hijackers when they landed on US soil.
His claims were made under oath during closed-door questioning on June 17 and 18 as part of a lawsuit brought by the families of 9/11 victims accusing the Saudi government of being complicit in the attacks.
The claims raise new questions about the FBI's investigation, as the US has long insisted to the public that there is no evidence the Saudi government was involved in the murders of 2,977 people on September 11, 2001.
