In reply to the discussion: How the Bush Administration Covered Up the Saudi Connection to 9/11 [View all]nationalize the fed
(2,169 posts)58. corroboration
From the New Yorker:
Another Saudi who was in San Diego at the time, Osama Basnan, also befriended Hazmi and Mihdhar. As it happened, Basnans wife was receiving charitable gifts from Prince Bandars wife, Princess Haifa. The paymentsas much as seventy-three thousand dollars over a period of three yearswere supposed to fund the treatment of a medical condition that Basnans wife suffered from. According to pleadings in the lawsuit against the Saudis, some of that money went to support the hijackers in San Diego.
Posted January, 2013 by Professional Pilot Phillip Marshall, friend of some of the pilots that were killed that day, and who spent years researching the Saudi Connection.
Saudi Connection to the 9/11 Hijackers
So began my search for Middle Eastern operators of Boeing airliners. Because the hijackers were mostly Saudi Arabian, the firm of Dallah Avco, a Saudi operator of multiple private Boeing airliners, soon stood out as a focal point. To my amazement, I immediately discovered that Congressional investigators had already linked Dallah Avco with the actual hijackers. Omar Bayoumi, a Dallah employee and operative within the Saudi Ministry of Aviation, had provided housing and basic support for three hijackers: Nawaf al-Hazmi, Khalid al-Mihdhar and the pilot/hijacker of American 77, Hani Hanjour.
FBI evidence of the cell would confirm that the hijacking team of American 77 had formed and operated separately with direct financial support from top-level members of the Saudi government, bitter enemies of al Qaeda. The picture was beginning to clear.
...One Saudi official in particular, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, Saudi Ambassador to the United States from 1983 to 2005, was quickly traced to direct funding of the hijackers, through cashiers checks, not from him he would say, but from his wife.

The writer might be asked about further details he had uncovered during his years-long research but a month after excerpts from his book above were posted he was a victim of "suicide".
