A former senior FBI intelligence official said he believes that Saudi Arabian government officials played at least an indirect role in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States — and potentially a “knowing role” — going further than most in law enforcement have traditionally been willing to say in assessing the Saudi regime’s involvement.
The disclosure has revived questions about the FBI’s investigation into what Saudi officials might have known about the hijackers inside the United States — evidence that the Trump administration has asserted is a “state secret” the disclosure of which could harm national security. Story continuesDespite Saudi denials about the kingdom’s complicity in the 9/11 attacks, questions about a possible link have swirled for years. Fifteen of 19 hijackers killed on Sept. 11 were Saudi nationals; many in law enforcement have long suspected the Saudis knew more than they let on about the plot. Osama bin Laden, the now deceased longtime head of al-Qaida, is from a prominent Saudi family with major construction interests and strong ties to the regime.
