| Newly declassified documents show extensive FBI investigation of Saudi links to 9/11 terror attacks |
| 2021-11-06 |
| [JustTheNews] The bureau scrutinized the extent of support provided by Saudi officials, including one at their embassy in Washington, to three Saudis involved in the attacks after their arrival in the U.S. Newly declassified documents from the FBI give a sense of the depth of the bureau's investigation into potential ties of the Saudi government to the 9/11 terror attacks. According to The Hill, the FBI investigated how much support Saudi officials — including one at their embassy in Washington — may have given to three Saudis involved in the attacks, including "procuring living quarters and assistance with assimilating in the country." The declassified records also reveal the hijackers were kept unaware of certain aspects of the terror attacks, but all of them knew they were participating in a "holy war." "In relation to the 9/11 attacks, the hijackers knew there was a martyrdom operation, but did not know about the nature of the operation until shortly before the attack for operational security reasons," the documents allege. Previously, the Saudi embassy said the Saudi King "welcomes the release of the documents." The embassy went on to say that "any allegation that Saudi Arabia is complicit in the September 11 attacks is categorically false." |

| #4 While I have Not read the Whole document Yet, from the news articles on this there is nothing really new here. Nothing that those of us who have spent the last 20 years looking into the Who,What,Why,How of 9-11 didn't already know. |

| #2 Nothing much to see in that release. The 28 page release was back in 2016 was much more revealing. The Prince Bandar bin Sultan connections to Bassnan, Bayoumi, 9/11 hijackers Midhar and Hazmi were never fully investigated because Bandar was a big wig ambassador with connections to the DC elites, Bush included. This um, intel/information was very highly classified due to its political nature. Maybe it was harmless and a "witting" connection did not exist...maybe it did. Maybe it was the intent of OBL to get a cell close to the big wig in order to cast doubt on the Saudi government...if so, that was a clever move and a indicator of the complexity of the planning that went into this attack. However, Moussaoui and Zubaydah's statements indicate that Bandar was a AQ donor... And the 9/11 case has still not made it to trial...I wonder why |
