MISSING LINKS: More Saudi 9/11 connections that aren’t getting enough attention:
In an understated manner, the report discloses even more fascinating information: While in San Diego, the pair had extensive contacts with an unidentified FBI informant and were befriended by Omar al-Bayoumi–a Saudi subject who has returned to, and remains in, the kingdom. Al-Bayoumi has terrorist connections, and has been associated with a bin Laden follower named Omar Bassnan.
The report overlooks one important fact about al-Bayoumi: Last year, he and Bassnan were named in the U.S. media as the conduits for “charitable donations” to al-Mihdhar and al-Hazmi from Princess Haifa, wife of the Saudi ambassador to America, Prince Bandar bin Sultan bin Abdul Aziz.
Why no mention whatever of Princess Haifa in the report’s narrative on al-Bayoumi, Bassnan, al-Mihdhar and al-Hazmi? The same claim of “national security” that justified blacking out the Saudi chapter?
The report simply fails to follow up on another shocking disclosure: Al-Bayoumi was an employee of the Saudi Civil Aviation Authority, and his immediate superior in that body had a bin Laden connection.
The Saudi Civil Aviation Authority would be the ideal center for a hijacking conspiracy: Its employees would know everything, from Saudi attendance at specific U.S. flight schools, to the regulations for carrying sharp objects aboard airliners, to the fuel capacities of long-range flights.
So why hasn’t our government focused a bright light on this agency? Is it not possible that the agency was tasked with the 9/11 atrocity from higher up in the Saudi regime?
Why isn’t this getting more attention? I saw Wyche Fowler loyally flacking for the Saudi regime on CNN this morning. He was remarkably unpersuasive. Whatever they’re paying him, it’s too much.
The Saudis, meanwhile, are reportedly “furious” over what information has already come out. They shouldn’t be furious. They should be nervous — particularly in light of reports that Hamas gets 70% of its funding from Saudi Arabia.
