The FBI has quietly revealed further evidence of Saudi government complicity in the September 11 attacks. But the full story is yet to be told.
The US has been heavily dependent on the Saudis for oil . It is very reluctant to upset them on one issue after another. That dependency on oil has increased with the sanctions on Russia.
The US supplies arms to Saudi Arabia for the barbaric attacks on Yemen. The US ignores blatant human rights abuses by the Saudis including the murder of a Saudi citizen in a Saudi embassy.
Despite continual pressure from the families of US citizens killed in the September 11 attacks the cover up continues.
Links of the Saudis to the 9/11 attacks are well known:
- 15 of the 19 high jackers were Saudi citizens
- al Bayoumi a Saudi national working in San Diego and who had close contacts with the high jackers was paid by the Saudi General Intelligence Presidency. Payment was through the Saudi Ambassador in Washington, Prince Bandar bin Sultan
- Prince Bandar was so close to the Bush family he was known as ‘Bandar Bush’
- Despite a nationwide grounding of all aircraft after the 9/11 attacks a chartered aircraft flew out 160 Saudi royals including Bin Laden family members and other prominent Saudis.
