As the anniversary of September 11 approaches, a lawsuit filed by the families of the victims of the Islamic terrorist attacks against the Saudis has been granted permission to move forward.
Saudi Arabia along with Qatar and Iran were the three Islamic terrorist states seen as most complicit in September 11.
One of the big missing pieces of the puzzle is the complicity of the FBI in covering up the role of Saudi Arabia.
During the trial, a video emerged that the FBI had spent a lot of time hiding of Omar Al-Bayoumi, a Saudi agent, filming key landmarks in D.C. with a view toward security arrangements and mentions of “the plan”.
FBI covered up the Saudi role in 9/11
Shortly after 9/11, the FBI received and suppressed this video of Omar Al-Bayoumi, a Saudi agent who knew the 9/11 hijackers filming in D.C. and talking about a “plan”

Al-Bayoumi had known two of the 9/11 hijackers. The video was an important piece of the puzzle as was the timing of it.
A voice on the video says in Arabic, “I am transmitting these scenes to you from the heart of the American capital, Washington.”
Bayoumi points out the Washington monument and says, “I will get over there,” and “report to you in detail what is there.”
Richard Lambert: What I see Bayoumi doing is going out and making a detailed video record of the Capitol from all its sides, and then conducting that 360 degree panoramic view.
Richard Lambert is a retired FBI supervisor who led the initial 9/11 investigation in San Diego, where Bayoumi and the two hijackers lived prior to the attacks. He’s now a consultant on the case filed by the 9/11 families.
Richard Lambert: If you’ve ever flown into Washington D.C., one of the first things you see on the horizon is the Washington Monument. So, if you know where your other targets are, it helps guide you to your intended target.
Richard Lambert: Well, that means it was taken within 90 days of the time when senior al Qaeda planners reached the decision that the Capitol would be a target of the 9/11 attacks.
That’s when Osama bin Laden decided to approve the so-called “planes operation” proposed by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of 9/11.
During a raid on Bayoumi’s U.K. apartment about 10 days after the attacks, British police discovered the Capitol video, along with about 80 other tapes and a trove of documents now being used as evidence in the families’ lawsuit. This internal FBI report, dated Oct. 11, 2001, shows that “copies of all recovered exhibits” were “sent to FBI-New York via Federal Express,” but the Capitol video never made it to the San Diego field office.
Why was the video hidden anyway? The question is the answer.
From the Bush administration to the Obama administration, a concerted effort was made to protect the Saudis and Qataris and avoid any discussion of the Islamic angle.
The Saudis proved very able when it came to finding American useful idiots who would help cover up for them. There have been plenty of these people over the years whose mission was attacking the enemies of Islam under the guise of being ‘truth seekers’ or ‘patriots’, while shamelessly pandering to the Saudis and to the sponsors of Islamic terror.
Sometimes it’s not even subtle.
To whose benefit?
@stevenl
To the Saudis’ benefit, which is of course the Saudi way in all things. The Saudi’s know how to apply pressure and how to negotiate. They know that they have the US over a barrel with regards to their oil, which is why it is so important for the US and the world that the US develop and maintain energy independence.
Read this short article by Ted, Saudi Arabia and the Peace Process. It explains the power SA has in the US, and if you read Whatever Saudis want, Saudis get you will see that among other things, Saudi influence peddling in the US bought the Saudis protection of the US against their involvement in the 911 attack on the US.
