Newly Discovered Video Raises Concerns about Suspected Saudi Links to 9/11 | Global News
A survivor of the 9/11 attacks believes that a video seized by British detectives from an early suspect raises important questions.
The footage, captured by the suspect while touring US government buildings in Washington DC two years before the attacks, shows the White House, the Capitol, the Supreme Court, and security guards, with the suspect providing commentary in Arabic.
The hour-long video ends at the Capitol building, with the suspect discussing the vehicles seen in the footage.
Omar al-Bayoumi, the Saudi student who filmed the video, was later identified by the FBI as a Saudi intelligence agent, although he denies any involvement in the 9/11 attacks.
The tape was recently presented in a civil court case in New York, where 9/11 victims and families are seeking to sue the Saudi government for its alleged role in the attacks.
During the court proceeding, campaigner Sharon Premoli, a survivor of the attacks, highlighted incriminating language used by al-Bayoumi in the footage, suggesting a potential connection to terrorist activity.
Additionally, a notebook page found in al-Bayoumi’s possession containing calculations related to an airplane’s distance from the ground and the horizon was presented in court.
The evidence seized by the Metropolitan Police during their investigation into al-Bayoumi’s activities has raised suspicions of potential Saudi involvement in supporting the 9/11 hijackers.
Despite denials from the Saudi government, the evidence presented in court has sparked further scrutiny into the possible links between Saudi officials and the 9/11 terrorists.
