zerohedge | As The Times writes
today, new evidence has come to light of a definitive link between
Saudi Arabian officials and the 9/11 terrorist attacks "further raising
tensions as President Obama travels to the kingdom."
According to the report, Ghassan Al-Sharbi, a Saudi who became an
al-Qa’ida bomb maker, is believed to have taken flying lessons with some
of the 9/11 hijackers in Arizona but did not take part in the attacks
on New York and the Pentagon that killed 3,000 people in 2001.
He was captured in Pakistan in 2002 and has since been held at Guantanamo Bay. According
to a US memo, known as document 17, written in 2003 and quietly
declassified last year, the FBI learnt that he had buried a cache of
papers shortly before he was captured.
Think of "Document 17" as a mini version of the "28 pages" whose
content has yet to be revealed. The document was written by two US
investigators examining the possible roles of foreign governments in the
attacks.
One detail leapt out at the FBI agents from the papers that Sharbi had tried to hide: his US flight certificate was in an envelope from the Saudi embassy in Washington.
And there is your smoking gun, which has been fully available to the US government for the pat 13 years. It should have also been available to the American public.
Understandably, Brian McGlinchey, the activist who uncovered document 17, asked a simple question: "The
envelope points to the fundamental question hanging over us today: to
what extent was the 9/11 plot facilitated by individuals at the highest
levels of the Saudi government?"
