Following President Biden’s recently signed executive order for the declassification of many of the remaining documents relating to the Saudi role in the 9/11 attacks, the Justice Dept. on Saturday night released its first one – a heavily redacted 16-page report from April 2016.
While not yet considered a smoking gun in terms of proving high level Saudi foreknowledge and complicity, it does contain new information on a Saudi student in California at the time, Omar al-Bayoumi, who is shown to have aided two of the 9/11 hijackers while enjoying close ties with Saudi diplomats. The memo ultimately shines more light on what appears Saudi intelligence continuing contact with some of the hijackers leading up to the 9/11 attacks.
Bayoumi like other persons of interest investigated by the FBI had connections to the Saudi consulate in Los Angeles, and an associate of his maintained “anecdotes of personal interactions with Consular leadership,” when questioned by the FBI.
The now declassified memo reveals that Bayoumi assisted closely in general logistics for two of the hijackers, including travel assistance, lodging and financing, as well as translation help while they were in the country. It says he was in “almost daily contact” with the hijackers. It closely aligns with prior 2017 documents from a Los Angeles court which pointed to Bayoumi being a Saudi undercover operative.
The new memo cites an FBI source who said Bayoumi held “very high status” at the Saudi consulate in LA – even “higher than many of the Saudi persons in charge” of the diplomatic mission – again strongly suggesting he was an intelligence agent running a covert op on US soil.
And more, according to The Hill:
The report said that a month before the hijackers arrived, Bayoumi checked into a hotel in Culver City, Calif., along with a man whose phone numbers were connected to a spiritual adviser to a Bin Laden lieutenant. Those two men reportedly had associations with the Saudi Consulate in Los Angeles.
Further as The Hill summarizes of the newly released memo, “FBI agents… discussed their examination of phone records that seemed to link some of the subjects of the probe to an associate of Osama bin Laden or other individuals who ultimately became detainees at Guantanamo Bay.”
Above: Omar al Bayoumi. 9/11 investigators have long asked “What was Omar al-Bayoumi doing in San Diego? Why did he befriend the 9/11 Pentagon hijackers?”
The newly released memo also discusses Fahad al-Thumairy, an official at the Saudi consulate known to have provided logistical support to the two hijackers.
The FBI found that Thumairy was in contact with al-Qaeda terror cells and that officials at the consulate held “extremist beliefs”.
In the wake of Saturday night’s document release, more of which are expected to come out over the next six months the group “9/11 Families United” issued a statement saying it “puts to bed any doubts about Saudi complicity in the attacks.”
“With this first release of documents, 20 years of Saudi Arabia counting on the US government to cover up its role in 9/11 comes to an end,” a spokesman for the 9/11 families said.
“Twenty years ago today they murdered our loved ones and inflicted immeasurable pain and suffering on our lives,” said Terry Strada of 9/11 Families United, whose husband, Tom, was killed in the World Trade Center on 9/11.
“Now the Saudis’ secrets are exposed and it is well past time for the Kingdom to own up to its officials’ roles in murdering thousands on American soil.”

I didn’t know there was any doubt about Saudi complicity. Now how about Lucky Larry?
Somebody had to keep the patsies in line. We know the Saudis played a role, but this is just a distraction so nobody notices the Israelis, Deep State operatives, Rumsfeld, Cheney, and Bush in the room.
Yep. Just more limited hangout nonsense to keep people discussing and debating irrelevant minutiae that supports the overall official narrative of 9/11 regardless of the specifics of that minutiae.
Israelis?
https://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=123885&page=1
Were the Saudis complicit with Al Qaeda? Were they complicit with Mossad/CIA (via Al Qaeda)?
When will the missing page 38 of the fbi report on the dancing Israelis be released..? Skips from page 37 to page 39, strang!
If the Saudis were complicit, their accomplices were the CIA and Mossad.
Big oil gets a free pass.
Poppy bush and w.
So who is worse, the perpetrators or the Government By, For and Of the People who for 20 years utterly lied, and used it as an opportunity to ensnare average Americans in wars, mass surveillance, and the hollowing out of what was left of American sovereignty? Uncle Stasi-Sam is still more the enemy than the jihadist-wahabbists of SA.
Fuck the House of Saud !!
When do we start Shock and Awe on those murdering bastards?
We’d win in a week, maybe two max. They are NOT Afghans. They are pussified fatfuk spoiled ‘princes’ who outsource EVERYTHING, including their military.
The USAF was training about a dozen Saud fighter pilots way back in 1975 at George AFB, CA. The scuttlebutt around the base was that Chimps would be better pilots.
We could take them over ….. and be energy independent again.
Please give this serious thought. Then petition your Congress Person. TIA.
Another distraction from the 800 ton Hexagram in the room.
“Those damn Saudis! If not for them we’d all be safer today!” said no American ever.
