Long-Secret FBI Report Reveals New Connections Between 9/11 Hijackers and Saudi Religious Officials in U.S.
This validates what we have been saying, says an attorney for families of 9/11 victims who are suing the Saudi government over alleged support of the 2001 terrorist attacks.

A long-suppressed FBI report on Saudi Arabias connections to the 9/11 plot has revealed that Saudi religious officials stationed in the United States had more significant connections to two of the hijackers than has been previously known.
The 2016 report was released late Saturday night under an executive order from President Joe Biden, who promised to make it public no later than the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks that killed 2,977 people and injured more than 6,000 others. The 16-page document was a final inventory of circumstantial evidence and leads from the FBIs investigation of Saudi ties to the plot; it was heavily redacted.
Nonetheless, lawyers for families of the 9/11 victims, who are suing the Saudi kingdom in federal court, said the document provided important support to their theory that a handful of Saudis connected to their government worked in concert to assist the first two Qaida hijackers sent to the United States in January 2000.

(6,330 posts)Iran was going to be our go to influence in the area. But we fucked that up when we pushed too many buttons on them. Then we had no choice but to cuddle up to the house of Saud...and they know it.
If you ask me, I think they've done more harm to us than Iran (if you exclude their involvement in Iraq...but with US troops to the east and west of them, can't blame them for being a bit skittish).
