Saudi 9/11 attacks link
The United States has declassified a batch of documents that strengthen suspicions of Saudi officials’ involvement in the 9/11 attacks.The hugely-redacted documents detail logistical support a Saudi consular official and a Saudi intelligence agent provided to at least two al-Qaeda operatives involved in hijacking of airliners, used in the attacks. The FBI found the agent deeply involved in providing travel assistance, lodging and financing to the hijackers. Members of the Saudi government have long been suspected of involvement in the attacks. But, the Saudi embassy in Washington DC has denied Riyadh’s role. The documents are being released on President Joe Biden’s executive order. He issued the order after over 1600 families affected by the attacks demanded him not to attend ceremonies marking the 20th anniversary of the attacks unless he released the documents.
