$130,000 from Saudi Ambassador Prince Bandar’s checking account to the (9-11) hijackers

63. Believability

If powerful people are knowingly funding terrorists, they are not going to use a check from their own account. In the slight chance they use a check, they would run it through an untraceable shell company.

I find it believable that some influential Saudis were funding terrorists inside the US, but not the Ambassador to the US. He had way too much to lose.

Let us also remember that Bin Laden intentionally wanted to drive a wedge between "moderate" Muslims and the West. That was his main goal. As Colin Powell made clear at the time, Bin Laden wanted an over-reaction by the West to the terrorist attacks, in order to end up alienating Muslims. Bin Laden could have found young wackos from other countries, but he intentionally recruited Saudis because the thought their involvement would do the most damage to international relations.
