Stop the Cover-up: Saudi Arabia and Iran attacked the United States on 9/11

It is shameful that two presidents have engaged in a massive cover-up on the worst terrorist attack in its territory for so many years. It is about time to reveal that Saudi Arabia, our supposed ally, and Iran, an existential threat to our security that President Barack Obama made a nuclear agreement which endangers our national security, participated in an act of war upon the United States.

On September 11, 2001, the United States suffered the worst terrorist attack in its territory with the loss of life of 2,976 individuals and more than 6,000 wounded in New York City, the Pentagon, and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Four commercial airlines planes were hijacked by 19 terrorist who were members of al-Qaeda. Fifteen Islamic terrorists were from Saudi Arabia, two from the United Arab Emirates, one from Egypt, and one from Lebanon. It was the first time that commercial airplanes had been used as missile weapons in the world crashing them against buildings.

The airplanes from American Airline Flight 11 and from United Airlines Flight 175 were the first two to be hijacked. A Boeing 767 from American Airlines Flight 11 took off from Logan Airport in Boston in route towards Los Angeles. Al-Qaeda terrorist Mohamed Atta took control of the airplane, most likely after killing the pilots, and crashed the airplane against the North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City at 8:46 in the morning. Another Boeing 767 from United Airlines Flight 175 was also hijacked at Logan Airport in Boston on its way to Los Angeles. Al-Qaeda terrorist Marwan al Shehhi crashed the airplane against the South Tower of the World Trade Center shortly afterwards.

Both towers of 110 floors collapsed killing almost 3,000 people including the passengers in the airplanes and police and firefighters officers who had come to help the victims of that unprecedented and most cruel attack. The South Tower collapsed at 9:59 a.m. and the North Tower was brought down at 10:28 a.m. A third building of the World Trade Center collapsed at 5:20 in the afternoon. In addition to these three buildings, 23 skyscrapers nearby had to be demolished due to the damages to their structures.

A third Boeing 757 from American Airline Flight 77 took off from Washington Dulles Airport on its way to Los Angeles. At 9:37 in the morning al Qaeda-terrorist Hani Hanjour crashed the airplane against the Pentagon flying at a speed of 530 mph. One twenty five military and civilians died at the Pentagon.

A fourth Boeing 757 from United Airlines Flight 93 took off from Liberty International Airport in Newark, New Jersey towards San Francisco. These passengers learned about the attacks against the World Trade Center from the relatives and realized that the terrorists who had captured their airplane would crash it against an important building in Washington, D.C. The terrorists were planning to crash the Boeing 757 plane either at the Capitol or the White House. The brave unarmed passengers decided to try to take control of their hijacked plane.

In response to the passengers running toward the cockpit, al-Qaeda terrorist Ziad Jarrah, who was piloting the Boeing 757, immediately began to roll the airplane to the left and right to knock the passengers off balance. But the assault continued so the terrorist pilot began to pitch the nose of the airplane up and down to disrupt the assault being carried out by the brave passengers. When the terrorist pilot and the others with him saw that the passengers were about to enter the cockpit, Jarrah decided to crash the aircraft into an empty field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania while flying at a speed of 580 mph. The Islamic terrorist yelled several times “Allah Akbar!” (Allah the greatest!) and crashed the plane at 10:03 in the morning. This airplane was only 20 minutes away from Washington, D.C. The brave unarmed passengers saved many lives.

The United States could have prevented the 9/11 attacks

The 800-page 9/11 Report was published in 2002.

The 9/11 report, which is officially called Joint Inquiry into Intelligence Community Activities Before and After the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001, was prepared by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and the House of Representatives Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. It was published in 2002. The report indicated four kinds of failures on the part of the United States government. There were failures in imagination, policy, capabilities, and management.

Imagination

Al-Qaeda was created in 1988, at the end of the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. Even though the CIA, as well as Saudi Arabia, had supported al-Qaeda rebels while they were fighting the Soviet Occupation Army in Afghanistan, this terrorist organization led by Osama bin Laden began to attack the United States around the world. Prior to 9/11 al-Qaeda and its affiliates had killed fewer than 50 Americans, including those that died in the East Africa embassy bombings and the U.S.S. Cole attack in Yemen. While the United States government took the threat seriously, there were only modest efforts to contain the threat of this terrorist organization.

Both President Bill Clinton and George W. Bush did not fully understand how grave was the threat of al-Qaeda and a potential attack against the United States mainland and how soon a devastating attack would be carried against our nation. The United States failed in imagination. The government should have seen that if al-Qaeda used vehicles and boats as bombs, it could have also used aircraft, particularly when there had been an al-Qaeda plot in Manila to blow up several planes with bombs as they flew from the Philippines to the United States.

The Counterterrorism Center (CTC) failed to analyze how an airplane, hijacked or explosive–laden, might be used as a weapon. The CTC did not develop a set of indicators for this method of attack. For example, the discovery of possible terrorists pursuing flight training to fly large jet aircraft, or seeking to buy advanced flight simulators, would have been one indicator. Therefore, the CTC missed the July 2001 FBI report of potential terrorist interest in various kinds of aircraft training in Arizona. It also missed the August 2001 FBI report of the arrest of Zacarias Moussaoui because of suspicious behavior in a Minnesota flight school.

Neither the intelligence community nor aviation security experts analyzed systemic defenses within an aircraft or against terrorist–controlled aircraft, suicidal or otherwise. The United States should have implemented a better screening of passengers to prevent terrorists from boarding our aircrafts.

Policy

The U.S. government underestimated the al-Qaeda threat as it grew even greater. Neither President Bill Clinton nor President George W. Bush gave orders to the Department of Defense to eliminate al-Qaeda which was using Afghanistan as a sanctuary before 9/11. Officials in both administrations regarded a U.S. attack of al-Qaeda camps in Afghanistan as inconceivable before 9/11. One problem is that is very hard to mount a major effort when a security problem still seems minor.

The United States should have given the Taliban regime in Afghanistan an ultimatum to expel al-Qaeda terrorists from its country. Failure to abide by the ultimatum could have resulted in an indefinite air campaign and the use of cruise missiles lounged by our Navy.

Capabilities

The 9/11 report stated the following: “At no point before 9/11 was the Department of Defense fully engaged in the mission of countering al-Qaeda, though this was perhaps the most dangerous for any then threatening the United States… The FBI did not have the capability to link the collective knowledge of agents in the field to national priorities… The Federal Aviation Administration’s capabilities to take aggressive, anticipatory security measures were especially weak”.

The United States government did not address vulnerabilities such as expanding the no-fly list, deploying federal air marshals, hardening cockpit doors, and alerting and training aircrews to different kinds of hijackings. Government agencies failed in anticipating security threats and taking appropriate measures to counter them.

Management

The 9/11 report detailed various missed opportunities to prevent the devastating attack by al-Qaeda to our mainland. Information was not shared among different agencies. Responsibility for domestic intelligence gathering on terrorism was given solely to the FBI and not to the CIA. There was a lack of information sharing between the FBI on the CIA.

Paul Sperry wrote an article called “Inside the Saudi 9/11 Cover-up” which was published by the New York Post on December 15, 2013. Sperry has written many books—Crude Politics: How Bush’s Oil Cronies Hijacked the War on Terrorism (2003), Infiltration: how Muslim Spies and Subversives have Penetrated Washington (2005), and Muslim Mafia (2009). His latest book is The Great American Bank Robbery. This book describes how the government´s attempt to increase minority home-ownership helped create the sub-prime housing crisis. This attempt started under President Jimmy Carter and President Bill Clinton.

Americans were told after the horrific 9/11 attacks by al-Qaeda Islamic terrorists that they acted alone, with no nation assisting them with the exception of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan. But this true was not true! Our government suppressed the truth.

Neither President George W. Bush nor President Barack Obama have allowed the public to see the inexplicably classified or censored 28 pages of the 800-page 9/11 report. Forty senators asked President Bush to release the full report, but he refused. However, several members of Congress saw the entire report. They are now demanding an end to the censorship and even requesting an additional investigation. The truth is slowly being revealed regarding the “specific sources of foreign support” for the 19 hijackers, 15 of whom were Saudi nationals.

Several legislators, who read the redacted portion, have expressed that they are “absolutely shocked” at the level of involvement of several members the royal family of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the financial assistance and logistical support to the Islamic terrorists of 9/11. Paul Sperry explained that Congressman Walter Jones (R-NC) and Congressman Stephen Lynch (D-Mass) cannot identify the nation without violating federal law. So they have proposed Congress to pass a resolution asking President Obama to declassify the entire 2002 report, which is officially called “Joint Inquiry Into Intelligence Community Activities Before and After the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001.” However, that is no longer necessary.

Some information has already leaked from the classified section, which is based on both CIA and FBI documents. The nation is Saudi Arabia, a supposedly ally of the United States. What diabolical ally of our nation would do that to us? Why are we still dealing with that nation that made war against us?

Sperry pointed out that the Saudis denied any role in the 9/11 attacks. The CIA did, however, report in a memo that it had allegedly found “incontrovertible evidence” that Saudi government officials — not just wealthy Saudis who hated our country, but “high-level diplomats and intelligence officers employed by the kingdom — helped the hijackers both financially and logistically.”

Sperry wrote the following: “The intelligence files cited in the report directly implicate the Saudi embassy in Washington and consulate in Los Angeles in the attacks, making 9/11 not just an act of terrorism, but an act of war. The findings, if confirmed, would back up open-source reporting showing the hijackers had, at a minimum, ties to several Saudi officials and agents while they were preparing for their attacks inside the United States. In fact, they got help from Saudi VIPs from coast to coast.”

Dar al-Hijrah Islamic Center mosque was founded in 1983 with Saudi funds.

Anwar al-Awlaki was Imam at the Dar al-Hijrah Islamic Center mosque between January 2001 and April 2002. He met with Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi in San Diego.

Al-Awlaki was a senior al-Qaida recruiter linked to various terrorists, including three 9/11 hijackers, Khalid al-Mihdhar, Nawaf al-Hazmi, and Hani Hanjour Army, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, the Fort Hood, Texas assassin, and the accused Christmas Day 2009 bomber. Army psychiatrist Nidal Malik Hasan was sentenced to death in 2013 for killing 13 people and wounding 32 others in a 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood, the worst mass murder at a military installation in U.S. history. Awlaki worked closely with the Saudi Embassy in Washington, D.C.

Nawaf al-Hazmi was a Saudi citizen and one of five hijackers of American Airlines Flight 77.

Two al-Qaida terrorists, Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi, set up their base of operations in San Diego upon their arrival in the United States with the assistance of a Saudi consulate official and two Saudi intelligence officers who were later investigated by the FBI and press. They established a close relationship with Awlaki, who had been Imam of the Masjid Ar-Ribat al-Islami mosque since 1996.

Khalid al-Mihdhar Khalid was one of five hijackers of American Airlines Flight 77, which was flown into the Pentagon as part of the September 11 attacks. Mihdhar was born in Saudi Arabia and fought in the Bosnian War during the 1990s.

Hani Hanjour was the Saudi Arabian hijacker-pilot of American Airlines Flight 77, who crashed the plane into the Pentagon. He had studied in the United States.

Hanjour arrived back in the United States in December 2000. He joined up with Nawaf al-Hazmi in San Diego, and they immediately left for Arizona where Hanjour took refresher pilot training. In April 2001, they relocated to Falls Church, Virginia and then Paterson, New Jersey in late May where Hanjour took additional flight training. After leaving San Diego and Arizona in 2001 and moving to Falls Church, Virginia, Hani Hanjour specified the Virginia mosque in Falls Church as his forwarding mailing address. He and Al-Hazmi attended Awlaki’s sermons at the Virginia mosque.

Paul Sperry wrote the following describing Saudi Arabia act of war against our nation:

“LOS ANGELES: Saudi consulate official Fahad al-Thumairy allegedly arranged for an advance team to receive two of the Saudi hijackers — Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi — as they arrived at Los Angeles in 2000. One of the advance men, Omar al-Bayoumi, a suspected Saudi intelligence agent, left the Los Angeles consulate and met the hijackers at a local restaurant. (Bayoumi left the United States two months before the attacks, while Thumairy was deported back to Saudi Arabia after 9/11.)

SAN DIEGO: Bayoumi and another suspected Saudi agent, Osama Bassnan, set up essentially a forward operating base in San Diego for the hijackers after leaving Los Angeles. They were provided rooms, rent and phones, as well as private meetings with an American al-Qaeda cleric who would later become notorious, Anwar al-Awlaki, at a Saudi-funded mosque he ran in a nearby suburb. They were also feted at a welcoming party. (Bassnan also fled the United States just before the attacks.)

WASHINGTON D.C.: Then-Saudi Ambassador Prince Bandar and his wife sent checks totaling some $130,000 to Bassnan while he was handling the hijackers. Though the Bandars claim the checks were “welfare” for Bassnan’s supposedly ill wife, the money nonetheless made its way into the hijackers’ hands.

Other al-Qaeda funding was traced back to Bandar and his embassy — so much so that by 2004 Riggs Bank of Washington had dropped the Saudis as a client. The next year, as a number of embassy employees popped up in terror probes, Riyadh recalled Bandar. Our investigations contributed to the ambassador’s departure, an investigator who worked with the Joint Terrorism Task Force in Washington told me, though Bandar says he left for personal reasons.

FALLS CHURCH, VIRGINIA. In 2001, Anwar Awlaki and the San Diego hijackers turned up together again — this time at the Dar al-Hijrah Islamic Center, a Pentagon-area mosque built with funds from the Saudi Embassy. Awlaki was recruited 3,000 miles away to head the mosque. As its imam, Anwar Awlaki helped the hijackers, who showed up at his doorstep as if on cue. He tasked a handler to help them acquire apartments and IDs before they attacked the Pentagon.

Anwar Awlaki worked closely with the Saudi Embassy. He lectured at a Saudi Islamic think tank in Merrifield, Va., chaired by Bandar. Saudi travel itinerary documents I’ve obtained show he also served as the official imam on Saudi Embassy-sponsored trips to Mecca and tours of Saudi holy sites. Most suspiciously, though, Awlaki fled the United States on a Saudi jet about a year after 9/11.

As I first reported in my book, Infiltration how Muslim Spies and Subversives have Penetrated Washington (2005), quoting from classified U.S. documents, the Saudi-sponsored cleric was briefly detained at JFK airport before being released into the custody of a “Saudi representative.” A federal warrant for Awlaki’s arrest had mysteriously been withdrawn the previous day. A U.S. drone killed Awlaki in Yemen in 2011.

HERNDON, VIRGINIA. On the eve of the attacks, top Saudi government official Saleh Hussayen checked into the same Marriott Residence Inn near Dulles Airport as three of the Saudi hijackers who targeted the Pentagon. Hussayen had left a nearby hotel to move into the hijackers’ hotel. Did he meet with them? The FBI never found out. They let him go after he “feigned a seizure,” one agent recalled. (Hussayen’s name doesn’t appear in the separate 9/11 Commission Report, which clears the Saudis.)

SARASOTA, FLORIDA. 9/11 ringleader Mohamed Atta and other hijackers visited a home owned by Esam Ghazzawi, a Saudi adviser to the nephew of King Fahd. FBI agents investigating the connection in 2002 found that visitor logs for the gated community and photos of license tags matched vehicles driven by the hijackers. Just two weeks before the 9/11 attacks, the Saudi luxury home was abandoned. Three cars, including a new Chrysler PT Cruiser, were left in the driveway. Inside, opulent furniture was untouched.

Democrat Bob Graham, the former Florida senator who chaired the Joint Inquiry, has asked the FBI for the Sarasota case files, but can’t get a single, even heavily redacted, page released. He says it’s a ´cover-up.´”

Why have two United States presidents tolerated an act of war by Saudi Arabia and allowed that diabolical Islamic radical bloody tyrannical nation to get away with killing almost 3,000 Americans?

Why is the federal government under two presidents protecting the Saudis? Do we need Saudi oil and gas so badly as to cover up what the members of the royal family and many officials in Saudi Arabia did in providing financial and logistical assistance to the 9/11 Islamic terrorists? Why are we so afraid that we have tolerated this act of war from the Saudis? Have we become so weak as a superpower that we need Saudi Arabia as an ally?

Agents in the case told Sperry that they were repeatedly called off pursuing 9/11 leads back to the Saudi Embassy, which had curious sway over White House and FBI responses to the attacks. Sperry reported that a few days after President George W. Bush met with the Saudi ambassador, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, in the White House, the FBI evacuated from the United States dozens of Saudi officials as well as Osama bin Laden family members.

The father of Osama bin Laden was meeting with the father of President George W. Bush, former President George H.W. Bush, and members of the Carlyle group in Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001. Prince Bandar made the request for escorts directly to FBI headquarters on September 13, 2001 — just hours after he met with the president. Sperry said that “the two old family friends shared cigars on the Truman Balcony while discussing the attacks.”

Sperry pointed out that Bill Doyle, whose son, Joseph, was killed in the World Trade Center attacks and heads the Coalition of 9/11 Families, calls the suppression of Saudi evidence a “cover-up beyond belief.” He sent out an e-mail to relatives urging them to contact their representatives in Congress to support the resolution and read for themselves the censored 28 pages.

William Doyle said the following: “If we stop funding of terrorism and hold those people accountable, wouldn’t it make a dent in the financing of terrorism today?” Mr. Doyle pointed out that President Obama personally assured him after the death of Osama bin Laden that he would declassify that section of the report. Like many other promises Obama has made, he has not delivered on this one, betraying not only the relatives of the victims but also the nation.

Sperry was very surprised by the fact that few members of Congress have bothered to read the classified or censored 28-page section which is probably the most important investigation in U.S. history. The reporter would like members of Congress to put pressure on the White House to let all Americans read it. The information is still very important today.

Sperry said the following: “Pursuing leads further, getting to the bottom of the foreign support, could help head off another 9/11. It is also extremely important to know if Saudi Arabia can be trusted in the future as a United States ally when members of the royal family of the kingdom were responsible for funding Islamic terrorists who attacked our beloved country so viciously.”

Of course, Saudi Arabia is our enemy and not our ally. Our courts need to rule in favor of the members of the families of the victims and punish Saudi Arabia with tens of billions in punitive damages. President Obama needs to reassess our alliance with that treacherous corrupt monarchy with its perverse diabolical Wahhabi Islam religion.

Paul Sperry concluded his article saying that the 28 pages of the 9/11 report must be released, even if they forever change U.S.-Saudi relations. If an oil-rich foreign nation, such as Saudi Arabia, was capable of attacking the United States by orchestrating on our centers of commerce and defense in 2001, it may be able to pull off similarly devastating attacks today.

Zacarias Moussaoui is a convicted former member of al-Qaeda who is serving a life sentence at a federal “supermax” prison in Colorado after pleading guilty in 2005 that he helped plan the 9/11 attacks. He accused Saudi Arabia’s royal family of involvement in the 9/11 attacks.

Zacarias Moussaoui, a convicted former member of al-Qaeda, made serious accusations against members of the royal family of Saudi Arabia

Robert Gearty wrote an article titled “Sue Saudis in 9/11” which was published in the New York Daily News on September 4, 2014. The reporter explained that Cantor Fitzgerald, which lost a staggering 658 people of his bond trading firm in the World Trade Center attacks, filed a $7 billion lawsuit against Osama Bin Laden’s al-Qaida terror network and the kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Robert Gearty pointed out that a lawsuit was filed in Manhattan Federal Court in 2004 on the third anniversary of the Islamic terrorist attacks. It seeks damages from Saudi Arabian banks and charities. The bond trading firm is alleging that “the defendants conspired, aided and/or abetted in the commission of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, by lending financial and material support, directly or indirectly, to the international terrorist organization al-Qaeda and its members”. One of the jets that flew into the World Trade Center crashed and exploded just 10 floors below Cantor’s New York City headquarters in the north tower. The firm suffered more casualties than any other company.

The lawsuit alleges the following regarding Saudi Arabia; “It knew and intended that these Saudi-based charity and relief organization defendants would provide financial and material support and substantial assistance to al-Qaeda. It accused Saudi Arabia of “engaging in a pattern of racketeering as it participated directly or indirectly in al- Qaeda’s work through “alter ego” charities and relief organizations, which it funded and controlled. Saudi officials could not be reached for comment.”

The allegations in the complaint are similar to those set forth in a $300 billion lawsuit brought in Manhattan Federal Court on September 10, 2003 by more than two dozen insurers. Since 9/11, Cantor has rebuilt its operations and recovered its financial health. Members of the victims of 9/11 have also filed a lawsuit against Saudi Arabia. Zacarias Moussaoui, a convicted former member of al-Qaeda, has made serious accusations against high Saudi officials involved in financing the 9/11 Islamic terrorists.

Former Democratic Senator Bob Kerrey, who served as Governor of Nebraska from 1983 to 1987 and as a United States Senator from 1989 to 2001, wrote an article titled “Moussaoui, Saudis and the full 9/11 Truth” which was published by the New York Daily News on February 6, 2015.  Senator Kerrey explained that the news that an al-Qaeda terrorist incarcerated in a maximum security prison has accused three members of the Saudi royal family of complicity in terrorist activities in the late 1990s and beyond “should scramble the nation’s national security apparatus to action.”

Kerrey stated the following: “We do not need another 9/11 Commission. That independent commission, on which I sat, produced an extensive report. So did congressional intelligence committees, including 28 classified pages that directly addressed the Saudi role in financing the attacks. Those pages must be declassified now. President Obama has promised 9/11 family members as much and many members of Congress who have read the section understand that the benefit of shining a bright light on recent history will be far greater than any harm to U.S.-Saudi relations.” After that happens, “Congress, which has all the power it needs to get to the bottom of these allegations, is duty-bound to the American people to do just that”, said Senator Kerrey.

The Saudi government wants them declassified. Really? Does that corrupt monarchy expect Obama to lie and engage in another cover up as in Libya, IRS, Fast and Furious, Veteran Affairs, and ObamaCare? Then, why is Obama not declassifying the 28 pages of the report if it can prove the innocence of the Saudis?

As stated earlier, the terrorist, who just made the explosive claims, is Zacarias Moussaoui. He held a position of “high respect” in al-Qaeda terror group and, according to the U.S. government, dealt directly with Osama Bin Laden and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. For his participation in 9/11, he was imprisoned for the rest of his life.

Senator Kerrey said the following: “We know he has information that people outside of al-Qaeda do not and could not have. The Saudi government insists that he is mentally unstable. They base this on the notion that his lawyers argued as much to the court during his trial. But actually, Moussaoui primarily represented himself. The only assertion that he lacked mental competence was made by the legal team that had been representing him. The judge who presided over his trial and sentenced him rejected the contention out of hand. She deemed Moussaoui to be a very intelligent man who understood the law even better than some lawyers who appeared before her.”

Kerrey asked, “Should we believe Moussaoui, including when he claims that he once discussed with a member of the Saudi Embassy in Washington a plan to shoot down Air Force One with a Stinger missile”? Then he said, “That’s the wrong question. The right question is: “Do we have the whole truth and, if not, how can we get it?”

Kerrey believes that we do not have the whole truth. As an example, the Saudi government and its lawyers repeatedly assert that the 9/11 Commission on which he served concluded that the royal family had anything to do with 9/11. That is just untrue. The Commission made clear that it did not have all the facts and that further investigation was necessary. Moreover, we had no access to Moussaoui (or other potentially useful witnesses).

So, who can obtain to the truth? Congress can. Kerrey explained that it must also pass the bill called the Justice against Sponsors of Terrorism Act, which is sponsored by Senators Chuck Schumer and John Cornyn. This will allow victims of 9/11 and other terrorist acts to sue foreign countries that funded terrorist groups — and cut through the unconscionable delays preventing families of 9/11 victims from seeking the truth and the compensation they deserve.

Kerrey concluded his article by stating the following: “There is also a role for the executive branch. The Department of Justice can and must investigate Moussaoui’s claims to help us and the Congress should judge their validity. I’m not unsympathetic to the importance of maintaining public alliance with Saudi Arabia. We need them in the fight against ISIS and as negotiations continue with Iran over its nuclear program. But that is no excuse to sweep these charges under the rug. Al-Qaeda has American blood on its hands and it wants more. We deserve to know precisely and completely who funded their terrorist acts. We deserve to know it soon.”

Carl Hulse wrote an article entitled “Claims against Saudis Cast New Light on Secret Pages of 9/11 Report” which was published in the New York Times on February 4, 2015. The reporter explained that the 9/11 Commission report still has a 28-page classified section that examines the crucial support given to the hijackers and that implicates prominent Saudis in the financing of terrorism.

Zacarias Moussaoui, a convicted former member of al-Qaeda who had high-level contact with officials of the Saudi government in the prelude to the September 11, 2001 attacks, have made accusations against high Saudi officials involved in financing the 9/11 Islamic terrorists. Zacarias Moussaoui accused three Saudi officials who had strong diplomatic and business ties to the United States.

The three Saudi princes accused of helping the 9/11 terrorists

Prince Bandar bin Sultan served as Saudi ambassador to the United States for 22 years. He was close to President George H.W. Bush and President George W. Bush.

The first of the three Saudi members of the royal family that was denounced by Zacarias Moussaoui was Prince Bandar bin Sultan. The reporter said that Prince Bandar bin Sultan served as the Saudi ambassador to the United States from 1983 to 2005. He was very popular in Washington during his 22 years as ambassador. Prince Bandar is a nephew of King Salman and King Abdullah, who died on January 23, 2015 at the age of 90 and had 12 wives, 30 children, and hundreds of grandchildren.

Prince Bandar, 65, had been close to President George H.W. Bush and his son, President George W. Bush, and helped persuade his nation to support America during three wars in the Middle East and the fight against terrorism. Prince Bandar bin Sultan was the head of the Saudi intelligence from 2012 until April 2014. He also wanted to overthrow the dictator Bashar al-Assad of Syria with the support of the United States. He lobbied against an interim nuclear accord with Iran. Was Bandar a traitor who was instrumental on the 9/11 attacks? Yes, he was an enemy of the United States.

Prince Turki al-Faisal was appointed Saudi ambassador to the U.S. in 2005.

Prince Turki al-Faisal, 69, is another of the king’s nephews who Moussaoui denounced. He replaced Prince Bandar as the Saudi ambassador in Washington in 2005 and served for two years. He was the head of Saudi intelligence from 1977 until 2001. Prince Turki had relations with Osama bin Laden and Mullah Omar of the Taliban.

Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, 59, is a grandson of King Abdulaziz ibn al-Saud of Saudi Arabia.

King Abdulaziz ibn al-Saud (1876-1953) was the first monarch and founder of his dynasty. After three decades of conquests, King Abdulaziz became the ruler of nearly all of central Arabia. He united his dominions into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932. As monarch, he presided over the discovery of oil in Saudi Arabia in1938 and the beginning of large-scale oil production after World War II. He fathered many children, including 45 sons and all of the subsequent kings on his nation.

Prince Alwaleed bin Talal is the wealthiest member of the royal family.

Carl Hulse wrote that Prince Alwaleed is chairman of the Kingdom Holding Company and the wealthiest member of the royal family. He owns Rotana, the Arab world’s largest entertainment company, and holds significant investments in Citigroup, Time Warner, Twitter, and Apple, among other companies. He had a large stake in News Corporation until recently, when his company sold shares worth $188 million.

After the Islamic terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Prince Alwaleed offered New York City mayor Rudolph W, Giuliani $10 million for the Twin Towers Fund. However, Mayor Giuliani rejected the offer after the prince criticized American policy in the Middle East implying the attack was the fault of our nation. Obama’s preacher Jeremiah Wright made the same accusation.

The denunciations by Moussaoui against the three Saudi princes brought renewed attention to the 28 pages of classified findings of the 9/11 report, which members of Congress and relatives of those killed in the attacks have tried unsuccessfully to declassify. As the author of a bipartisan resolution encouraging President Obama to declassify 28 pages of the 9/11 report, Representative Stephen F. Lynch, Democrat from Massachusetts, said “I think it is the right thing to do, let’s put it out there.” White House officials stated that the administration has undertaken a review on whether to release the 28 pages but has not determined yet when their decision might be made public.

Congressman Lynch and his allies have been joined by former Democratic Senator Bob Graham of Florida, who as chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee was a leader of the investigation of 9/11. Bob Graham has called for the release of the report’s Part 4, which dealt with Saudi Arabia, since President George W. Bush ordered it classified when the rest of the report was released in December 2002.

The six-page affidavit of former Democratic Florida Senator Bob Graham

Christensen said that among the new filings of the lawsuit is a six-page affidavit by former Florida Senator Bob Graham, who co-chaired Congress’ Joint Inquiry of 9/11. Graham said he is convinced there was a “direct line between at least some of the terrorists who carried out the September 11 attacks and the government of Saudi Arabia” and that “the American public deserves a more robust inquiry.” One issue he said “deserves further attention and investigation is the relationship between three of the future hijackers and a Saudi family living in Sarasota” prior to 9/11. Senator Graham read the full report so what he is saying is true!

Christensen wrote that FloridaBulldog.org and author Anthony Summers first reported in 2011 that the family of Abdulaziz al-Hijji and his wife, Anoud, suddenly moved out of their home about two weeks before 9/11 — leaving behind expensive cars, clothing, furniture, and food in the kitchen. Their departure began an FBI investigation that lasted for at least two years. Results of this investigation were never disclosed to either Senator Graham’s committee or the 9/11 Commission. Of course, no one abandons property like that except for fear of arrest or imprisonment!

Christensen explained that FBI officials stated that the investigation found no relation to the 9/11 attacks. However, FBI documents released later, in response to a Freedom of Information lawsuit brought by Broward Bulldog Inc. (the corporate name of the Florida Bulldog), stated there were “many connections” between the family “and individuals associated with the terrorist attacks on 9/11/2001.” Who is ordering the FBI to hide the involvement of Abdulaziz al-Hijji and his wife?

Former US senator and governor of Florida, Bob Graham, went on CBS’s 60 Minutes television program to say the hijackers who carried out the September 11, 2001 attacks had “some support from within the United States” and were “substantially” backed by Saudi Arabia.

Senator Graham has said repeatedly that Saudi Arabia was implicated in the September 11, 2011 attacks. “The 28 pages primarily relate to who financed 9/11, and they point a very strong finger at Saudi Arabia as being the principal financier,” Senator Graham said on January 2015 as he demanded for the pages to be made public.

PressTV wrote an article entitled “Senator Graham Says 9/11 Hijackers Had Support from within United Sates which was reprinted in the bwcentral.org website on April 14, 2016.

Former Senator Bob Graham said in an interview on CBS’s 60 Minutes that “I think it is implausible to believe that 19 people, most of whom didn’t speak English, most of whom had never been in the United States before, many of whom didn’t have a high school education– could’ve carried out such a complicated task without some support from within the United States.” Graham said he hoped the CBS’s 60 Minutes latest report – “28 Pages” – would help in a prolonged battle to declassify one of the country’s most sensitive documents called “Finding, Discussion and Narrative Regarding Certain Sensitive National Security Matters.” Graham was chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and co-chairman of a joint congressional commission that investigated the 9/11 attacks and wrote the full 838-page report.

Bob Graham talked to Steve Kroft of “60 Minutes” about the “28 pages” that have been missing from the 9/11 Commission report for 13 years.

PressTV explained that “The controversial file, which has been locked away in a secret vault within the White House for 13 years, has 28 pages worth of information on the 9/11 attacks, including damning information on a possible Saudi support network for the hijackers who flew airplanes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon that day, killing nearly 3,000 people and causing about $10 billion worth of property and infrastructure damage.”

28 pages are missing from the 9/11 Commission report must be published.

PressTV pointed out that the following: “The Joint Inquiry reviewed a half a million documents and interviewed hundreds of witnesses to produce the report. The administration of former President George W. Bush blanked out the last chapter for reasons of national security. Former Senator Max Cleland called the omission a “national scandal” and resigned from the 9/11 Commission.President Bush and his vice president, Dick Cheney, reportedly told the commission that they would not be formally interviewed in relation to the 9/11 attacks.”

Dick Cheney is watching the initial TV reports of planes hitting the Twin Towers in New York on September 11, 2001.

President George W. Bush did not get back to the White House until after 7:00 pm on September 11, 2001.

PressTV said that former Senator Graham stated on the CBS program “I remain deeply disturbed by the amount of material that has been censored from this report.” Graham, along with some other former and current members of Congress, U.S. officials, and 9/11 commissionaires are now pushing for release of the missing pages. On April 11, 2016, Democratic leader in the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, joined the fight to open the records with a call for disclosure. In the CBS interview, Graham did not discuss the contents of the “28 pages,” but said they contain information that outlines individuals who supported the hijackers. “People would be surprised by the information,” he said. The former senator said the hijackers were “substantially” supported by elements within the Riyadh regime, as well as rich Saudi individuals and charities. Fifteen of the nineteen 9/11 hijackers were Saudi citizens. Former Senator Graham said that “The 28 pages are very important, and will…inform the American people and, in so doing, cause the American government to reconsider the nature of our relationship with Saudi Arabia.”

Former Senator Graham and many others think the Saudi involvement has been whitewashed to protect a delicate alliance with a kingdom that shares little or no value with the United States. Saudi Arabia has built 80% of the mosques in the United States which have radical imams preaching the diabolical Wahhabi sect of Islam. These mosques should be shut down as they are factories of domestic terrorism.

A CIA watchdog report in 2015 said there was no evidence that the Saudi government “knowingly and willingly” supported the 9/11 attacks. What was not explained that Obama appointed as CIA director John Brennan who while being CIA station chief in Saudi Arabia converted to the diabolical Wahhabi sect of Islam. Obviously, this was a cover-up by Brennan to protect Saudi Arabia.

A growing number of former and current members of Congress believe there is a conspiracy behind the 9/11 attacks.

Saudi Arabia was legally cleared from paying damages to families of the 9/11 victims in 2015, after New York District Judge George Daniels dismissed accounts that the Persian Gulf monarchy provided material support to the terrorists and ruled that Riyadh had sovereign immunity. However, in a surprising move in March 2016 , Judge Daniels ruled that Iran was liable for damages in connection with the 9/11 attacks, saying the country must pay nearly $11 billion in compensation to families of the victims and insurance companies that covered those suffering damages in the attacks.

President Obama met with King Salman of Saudi Arabia in the Oval Office of the White House on September 4, 2015.

The 9/11 incident is expected to overshadow President Barack Obama’s visit to Saudi Arabia on April 21, 2016. While putting up a public show of affinity with the United States, Saudi officials are privately angry about what they see as the Obama administration’s outreach to Iran following the internationally-negotiated nuclear agreement with the Islamic Republic last year.

Relatives of those killed on September 11 as well as plaintiffs in a federal lawsuit against Saudi Arabia have demanded that the 28 pages be made public

As stated earlier, relatives of those killed on September 11 as well as plaintiffs in a federal lawsuit against Saudi Arabia have also demanded that the 28 pages be made public. They believe that the classified pages connect Saudi Arabia, an important ally of the United States, to the deadly attacks. They say the pages of Part 4 of the report could also help in determining the source of current funding for terrorist activities. All proponents for the release of Part 4, titled “Finding, Discussion and Narrative Regarding Certain National Security Matters,” have suggested that the George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations have not release the incriminating pages for fear of alienating an influential military and economic nation rather than for any national security consideration.

The reporter pointed out that Philip D. Zelikow, the executive director of the National Commission on 9/11 that investigated the September 11 attacks after the congressional panels, said the commission followed up on the allegations using some of the same personnel who wrote them initially. However, they reached a different conclusion. The July 2004 report stated the following: “Saudi Arabia has long been considered the primary source of al-Qaeda funding, but we have found no evidence that the Saudi government as an institution or senior Saudi officials individually funded the organization.” It did note, however, the “likelihood that charities with significant Saudi government sponsorship diverted funds to al-Qaeda.” Philip D. Zelikow does not seem to not understand that those charities are funded and administered by members of the royal family, including the king!

The reporter wrote that Zelikow pointed to the more thorough investigation undertaken by the commission. Philip D. Zelikow stated the following: “Those involved in the preparation of the famous 28 pages joined the staff of the 9/11 Commission and participated in the follow-up investigation of all the leads that had been developed earlier. In doing so, they were aided by a larger team with more members, more powers and for the first time actually conducted interviews of relevant people both in this country and in Saudi Arabia. And what we found is reflected in the commission report.”

Demands for the release of the 28 pages began soon after the intelligence committees finished their work. In 2003, more than 40 senators called on President George W. Bush to order the material’s disclosure, but he refused. Why?

The new ruler of Saudi Arabia King Salman was accused of running a charity that funded al-Qaida and assisted the 9/11 Islamic terrorists

King Salman bin Abdul Aziz al Saud of Saudi Arabia was accused of actively directing a Saudi charity whose funding was “especially important to al-Qaeda acquiring the strike capabilities used to launch attacks in the United States”. He assumed the throne on January 23, 2015 after the death of King Abdullah at the age of 90, who had ruled Saudi Arabia since 2005.

Dan Christensen wrote an explosive article entitled “9/11 families: New Saudi king ran terror-funding charity” which was published in the Miami Herald on February 6, 2015. Christensen explained that Saudi Arabia’s new king, Salman bin Abdul Aziz al Saud, “actively directed” a Saudi charity whose funding was “especially important to al-Qaeda acquiring the strike capabilities used to launch attacks in the U.S.”The reporter wrote that “the lawyers representing family members of the victims of 9/11 filed approximately 4,000 pages of motions and supporting documents in federal court in Manhattan opposing Saudi Arabia’s renewed efforts to be dismissed as a defendant in the long-running civil lawsuit that arose from the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, D.C., on September 11, 2001”.

King Salman founded the Saudi High Commission for Relief of Bosnia and Herzegovina (SHC) in 1993, which closed in 2011. This charity helped fund “the very al-Qaeda camps where the 9/11 hijackers received their training for the attacks, and the safe haven and facilities in Afghanistan where senior officials of al-Qaeda, including Osama bin Laden and Khalid Sheik Mohammed, planned and coordinated the attacks,” the court papers stated.

King Salman bin Abdul Aziz al Saud assumed the throne on January 23, 2015 after the death of King Abdullah at the age of 90, who had ruled Saudi Arabia since 2005. The Saudis and the Saudi High Commission had been dropped from the case years ago over claims of sovereign immunity. However, they were reinstated as defendants in December 2013 after an appellate court reversed its earlier decision.

On January 27, 2015, President Barack Obama paid his respects to new Saudi Arabian King Salman bin Abdul Aziz in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

President George W. Bush met with then Prince Salman Bin Abdul Aziz in 2008.

Fort Lauderdale U.S. District Court Judge William J. Zloch is currently reviewing 80,000 pages of records about 9/11 from the FBI’s Tampa office for possible release. What will these documents show?

The new filings in New York present a great deal of information regarding Saudi Arabia’s actions leading up to the attacks of 9/11. They cite primary documentation, such as FBI reports, diplomatic cables, and information on terrorists at the Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp. Additionally, there are statements from witnesses, including Zacarias Moussaoui, who is serving a life sentence in a federal maximum security prison in Colorado after pleading guilty in 2005 to charges that he helped plan the 9/11 attacks. The Saudi embassy in Washington reissued a recent statement that denounced Moussaoui as “a deranged criminal” without credibility. This statement was refuted by the judge who presided over his trial.

Prince Salman founded the Saudi High Commission for Relief of Bosnia and Herzegovina (SHC) in 1993 with the support of King Fahd

King Fahd was the ruler of Saudi Arabia from 1982 to 2005.

Christensen wrote that when King Salman was a prince when he founded the SHC in 1993 with the support of then-King Fahd to aid Muslims in Bosnia-Herzegovina. A 2004 affidavit by Saudi Minister of State Dr. Mutlib bin Abudllah al-Nafissa described the commission “as an arm of the Saudi Arabian government” and said that the “decisions regarding causes to support” were within King Salman’s discretion. Christensen said that “An affidavit the same year by the commission’s former executive director, Saud bin Mohammad al-Roshood, said the commission spent $448 million on aid between 1993 and 2000.”

The lawsuit on behalf of the relatives of the 9/11 victims declared that the SHC was not only a charity but an Islamic organization “created by the government of the kingdom to propagate a radical strain of Islam throughout the world, commonly referred to as Wahhabism.” The SHC “served as a primary conduit for the Kingdom’s massive sponsorship of al-Qaeda’s jihad in the Balkans.”

Christensen pointed out the following: “The court papers pleadings cited both detailed investigative reports from the mid-1990s and interviews with witnesses like Ali Hamad, who helped coordinate al-Qaeda’s military operations in Bosnia and was later convicted and jailed for a 1997 car bombing in Herzegovina. Among other things, Hamad testified that the SHC provided him and other al Qaeda members with false employment papers so they could travel freely in the Balkans. A United Nations-sponsored investigation determined Salman, the new king, transferred in excess of $120 million from his personal accounts and SHC accounts under his control to the Third World Relief Agency from July 1992 to July 1995.”

Third World Relief was an al-Qaeda front and pipeline for illegal shipments of arms to al-Qaeda fighters in the Balkans

Christensen explained that the 9/11 Commission identified Third World Relief as an al- Qaeda front and pipeline for illegal arms shipments to al-Qaeda fighters in the Balkans. In October 2001, the United States and NATO forces raided the SHC’s office in Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia. The soldiers discovered files on computer hard drives regarding the use of chemical agents with crop dusters, information on how to make fake State Department badges, and photographs and maps of Washington, D.C. showing government buildings.

Christensen indicated that the soldiers also found photographs of the World Trade Center before and after the attacks and photographs of other terrorist targets, such as the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania and the destroyer U.S.S. Cole. The Bosnian police soon arrested six al-Qaeda Islamic terrorists for planning to conduct terrorist strikes on U.S. targets. Each was on SHC’s payroll and all six were later incarcerated at Guantanamo, the pleading says. The lawsuit papers also included government investigations that found evidence indicating that the SHC played “a direct role.”

The role of Iran in 9/11

Mort Klein and Liz Berney wrote an article titled “The role of Iran in the attacks on 9/11 cannot be ignored” which was published in the website LibertadUSA.com on September 15, 2015. It was originally published in the magazine El Medio. Klein and Berney explained the irony that President Barack Obama and a minority of the Democratic Party in Congress reach an agreement with Iran that would provide that nation with millions of dollars and would eventually help it obtain nuclear weapons. The diabolical and bloody Iranian regime collaborated with Saudi Arabia to plan and facilitate the horror that was perpetrated in our nation on September 11, 2001. While Congress was looking at the Iranian nuclear accord no one has mentioned the complicity of Saudi Arabia and Iran on 9/11.

Klein and Berney wrote that the role of Iran was exposed in the conclusions of a district judge in the case of Havlish vs. bin Laden and others in a lawsuit filed by the families of the victims of 9/11 against al-Qaeda, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Hezbollah and diverse Iranian terror groups. The overwhelming Iranian complicity included in expert testimony, in addition to many documents, and in a memorandum in the name of the Supreme Iranian leader Ali Khamenei of May 2001. The Supreme Leader of Iran was discussing future al-Qaeda terrorists attack upon the United States.

The two reporters explained the following: “Iran began to plan the 9/11 in the middle of the 1980s. At that time the Iranian leaders created a terrorist unit composed of the elite members of the Revolutionary Guard and the Secret Service to plan attacks against the United States. The terrorist Iranian force elaborated a plan to crash Boeing passenger airplanes against the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the White House. Additionally, there were other plans to attack the electrical red of the United States and use dirty bombs with nuclear materials against U.S. cities. Iran called those plans “Shaitan dar Atash” which in Farsi means “Satan in Flames” or “Satan into Hell”. According to the Iranian regime the United States is called the “Great Satan” and Israel the “Little Satan.”

Imad Fayez Mughniyeh (1962-2008), was a senior member of Lebanon’s Islamic Jihad Organization and Hezbollah. He was a principal leader and operative for a number of years within Hezbollah’s military, intelligence, and security apparatuses. He may also have been among the founders of Hezbollah in the 1980s. He has been described as “a sort of ‘super chief of staff'” within Hezbollah, who once saw himself as the probable successor to Hassan Nasrallah as the leader of Hezbollah.

U.S. and Israeli officials have accused Mughniyeh of association with many bombings, kidnappings, and assassinations, beginning with the Beirut barracks bombing in 1983 by Islamic Jihad which killed 220 marines and 18 sailors and wounded 128. He was also responsible for the bombing of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998, as well as the kidnapping of dozens of foreigners in Lebanon in the 1980s. He was killed by the CIA in February 2008.

Klein and Berney pointed out that al-Qaeda worked with Iran to plan the 9/11 at least a decade after the terrorist uranium group designed the plan. In 1993, al-Qaeda leaders, Osama bin Laden, and Ayman Al-Zawahiri, met with the planner of the terrorist attack the Lebanese Imad Mughniyeh, and officers of the Revolutionary Guard in Khartoum, Sudan to establish an alliance between Iran, Hezbollah, and al-Qaeda to support and cooperate in terrorist activities.

This diabolical triple alliance collaborated on many different terrorist attacks against the United States during the 1990s, among the bombing of the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia in 1996, the United States embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998 and the destroyer U.S.S. Cole in Yemen in 2000.

Klein and Berney pointed out that Iran and its terrorist militia Hezbollah prepared the trip of the al-Qaeda 9/11 terrorists, giving visas and passports and accompanying them in the flights. They also organized training camps for the al-Qaeda terrorists. After the al-Qaeda 9/11 attacks Iran helped the families of the al-Qaeda leaders, including the children of bin Laden, to escape to Afghanistan. Iran gave them sanctuary and al-Qaeda used that country as a base of operation to attack United States troops in Iraq. Thousands of Americans died in these Al Qaeda attacks. United States media has reported how Iran planned many other terrorist attacks in the United States. In 2010, Iran was discovered when it was trying to contract a Mexican drug cartel to assassinate Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the United States and to plan an attack against the embassies of Saudi Arabia and Israel in Washington D.C.

Conclusion

Saudi Arabia financed and assisted the 9/11 terrorists in collaboration with Iran. The evidence uncovered thus far regarding the kingdom of Saudi Arabia that pretends to be an ally of the United States is clear. The Saudi Royal family, including a former king and the present king, and their relatives and intelligence and diplomatic officials committed an act of war against our nation by providing financial and logistical assistance to the al-Qaeda Islamic terrorists who attacked our homeland on 9/11. It is interesting to note that even though Saudi Arabia and Iran are mortal enemies, the two nations collaborated to attack the United States.

It was the worst attack on our homeland since the Japanese air raid on Pearl Harbor in Honolulu, Hawaii on December 7, 1941 – a day that would live in infamy. Both President George W. Bush and President Barack Hussein Obama have participated in a major cover-up by not releasing the 28 pages of the 9/11 report. The two presidents have not only betrayed the relatives of the victims but also our nation.

All members of Congress should demand that President Barack Obama release immediately the censored 28 pages of this report. They need to remember that one of the hijacked airplanes that were flying towards Washington, D.C. to crash the aircraft into the Capitol building where they work. Thanks to the sacrifice of the brave passengers who fought the Islamic terrorists inside the plane, the Islamic terrorist pilot crashed the plane in a field in Pennsylvania after screaming “Allah Akbar.”

Obama needs to release immediately those censored and classified 28 missing pages of the 9/11 report. If it destroys the U.S. alliance with the corrupt monarchy of Saudi Arabia, so be it! Our courts need to slap the monarchy of Saudi Arabia with billions of dollars of punitive damages and award the money to the United States government for the enormous damage done to our nation (our government has not sue the kingdom) and to the family members of the victims.

The United States and the West have allowed the perverted version of Islam, including Shariah law, to be spread by Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Islamic radicals, and the Muslim Brotherhood and to penetrate their societies. The 26 million followers of Wahhabi Islam of Saudi Arabia and their message of hate against the infidels should not be allowed to poison the minds of Muslims in the United States and Europe. The clerics of Wahhabi Islam made a diabolical deal with the Royal family of Saudi Arabia. The agreement was that the Wahhabi clerics would not interfere with their rule so long as they were permitted to spread their religion throughout the world, including the United States.

The Royal family of Saudi Arabia, with the billions of dollars that the United States and the West send each year to purchase oil and gas, has built thousands of mosques many of them employing Islamic radical imams as well as Islamic centers to advance Islam in the United States and the West. One such mosque was the Dar al-Hijrah Islamic Center, located near the Pentagon. It was built with funds from the Saudi Embassy.

It was at this mosque in 2001 that Anwar Awlaki and the San Diego al-Qaida Islamic terrorists who later attacked our nation turned up together again. Army psychiatrist Nidal Hassan who killed 13 soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas went to Iman Anwar Awlaki’s mosque. Anwar Awlaki worked closely with the Saudi Embassy. He lectured at a Saudi Islamic think tank in Merrifield, Virginia, chaired by Prince Bandar. Most suspiciously Awlaki fled the United States on a Saudi jet about a year after 9/11.

Saudi Arabia has also built 22,000 madrassas or schools throughout the world to spread Wahhabi Islam. These schools graduate more than four million young Muslim men every year. They are brainwashed and taught that to die for Islam waging Jihad against infidels anywhere in the world will send them straight to Paradise, which they call Jinnah. Those who achieve martyrdom will be given 72 virgins upon arrival to Jinnah.

Sadly, many radical Muslim men and women commit murder-suicide each year against Jews in Israel. Radical Muslim men are fighting in al-Qaeda-linked terrorist organizations and more recently on behalf of the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL. The United States has also experienced domestic terrorism by Islamic radicals.

Ivy League universities have accepted Saudi Arabia and Qatar funds to establish Islamic studies. Our best universities often hire radical Islamist professors for these departments, which graduate each year many U.S.-born Muslims and other Americans with Masters and Ph.D. degrees in Islamic studies. Many of them come out from our Ivy League universities with a desire to implant Shariah law in our nation and convert members of other religions to Islam. Many of these graduates join the multitude of Muslim Brotherhood-connected organizations and the Obama administration has hired many of them to important positions.

Saudi Arabia is an enemy of the United States and should be treated as such. President Obama should not include Saudi Arabia and Qatar in the coalition to fight Islamic State since both of those nations have supported the Islamic State, al-Qaeda, and other Islamic terrorists throughout the world. The sooner that the United States can achieve complete energy independence, the better it would be for our nation in order not to have to depend on Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries for oil and gas.
