9/11 Families United Statement on Newly-Released Government Report Confirming Saudi Involvement in Planning 9/11 Attacks

Washington, D.C. – 9/11 Families United, which serves thousands of families and survivors of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, said tonight that the release of the 2016 FBI report summarizing the Bureau’s long secret investigation of Saudi government involvement in supporting the 9/11 hijackers puts to bed any doubts about Saudi complicity in the attacks. The report, which has been posted here, represents the first step by the Biden Administration, in the wake of the President’s recent Executive Order, towards declassifying and releasing government documents related to the attacks that have been kept secret for years by the U.S. government.

“Twenty years ago today they murdered our loved ones and inflicted immeasurable pain and suffering on our lives,” said Terry Strada of 9/11 Families United, whose husband, Tom, was killed in the World Trade Center on 9/11. “Now the Saudis’ secrets are exposed and it is well past time for the Kingdom to own up to its officials’ roles in murdering thousands on American soil.”

The Federal Bureau of Investigation on Saturday released the first of what is expected to be several documents related to its investigation of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and suspected Saudi government support for the hijackers, following an executive order by President Joe Biden.

The newly declassified document, which is from 2016, provides details of the FBI's work to investigate the alleged logistical support that a Saudi consular official and a suspected Saudi intelligence agent in Los Angeles provided to at least two of the men who hijacked planes on September 11, 2001. The document, released on the 20th anniversary of the deadly attacks, still contains significant redactions.

It details multiple connections and witness testimony that prompted FBI suspicion of Omar al-Bayoumi, who was purportedly a Saudi student in Los Angeles but whom the FBI suspected to be a Saudi intelligence agent. The FBI document describes him as deeply involved in providing "travel assistance, lodging and financing" to help the two hijackers.

1. Never forget

the only planes flying the days after 9/11 were planes carrying members of the Saudi royal family home... and 22 members of the extended Bin Laden family. No questions asked.

After 9/11 we attacked Afghanistan... and Iraq(???).

4. Why has the Saudis been covorting with rump and kushner?

Huuummm...

Traitor rump needs to questioned?

5. tRump and Jared will do what they do best...grift and lie.

It all comes down to a common thread...$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I want to see the report without "significant redactions". It will never happen.

6. If they investigate Trump at the same pace,

they will issue a report when Trump is 94 years old.

11. With TFG's penchant for fast food and soda pop he will be lucky to make it to 94

[Mr.Bill]

15. Hopefully, he won't make it to 75. n/t

7. I remember I called the FBI in San Diego when I learned of

Omar al-Bayoumi being in San Diego where two of the pilots were training and living before 9/11. Nothing ever came of it though.

8. I'm sure they hid under the cover of a little-known law:

The “Lack of Information Act,” which permits Republican-led administrations to clam up or lie, if failure to do so might embarrass them.

[BigmanPigman]

9. Seems like the GQP has been using that law

incessantly for the past 20 years, maybe 40 now that I think about Reagun and his pals.

12. More likely had to do with oil/money.

[DFW]

14. Oh, never that

Definitely the Lack of Information Act.
