Revealing important evidence about the 9/11 terrorist attack

For more than two decades, the US position has been that al-Qaeda unilaterally carried out the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. However, a newly released video raises questions about the possibility that the hijackers received support from the Saudi Arabian government.

A federal court recently unsealed a video that was later released on CBS News' 60 Minutes program on June 20.

Revealing important evidence about the 9/11 terrorist attack

Omar al-Bayoumi, whom the FBI considers a Saudi intelligence agent linked to the two September 11 hijackers, appeared in the video.

Richard Lambert, a former FBI agent who conducted the preliminary investigation into the September 11 attacks, said the video was made in 1999, within 90 days of senior al-Qaeda members planning to select targets for the attack.

“This is another very large brick in the huge wall of evidence that shows at the time the Saudi government was complicit in the 9/11 attacks,” Mr. Lambert said.

Bayoumi filmed the video, which shows the architecture, entrances and exits, and security checkpoints of the US Capitol building. He also filmed the Washington Monument, saying he would "come and tell you what's there." Bayoumi also mentioned that there was an airport near the filming location. Lambert said knowing the Washington Monument's location in relation to other landmarks in Washington, DC, could help better target the target.

FBI investigators believe the hijackers of Flight 93, which crashed in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, initially intended to target Capitol Hill. Observers say Bayoumi's video of the Capitol may have been part of the attack plan. Bayoumi himself is said to have mentioned the word "plan" in the video.

British police found the video when they searched Bayoumi's apartment in England a few days after the September 11 attacks. Police also seized a handwritten list of what is believed to be the phone numbers of several senior Saudi government officials at the time.

Another former FBI agent, Ken Williams, said Bayoumi's video was the most important piece of evidence. The question now is why it took more than 20 years to be released, even though British police handed it over to the FBI soon after it was seized. "If it was overlooked, that's a shame. But if it wasn't, I have to ask what it was used for," Williams said.

The Saudi government and Bayoumi have denied any involvement in the 9/11 attacks. The FBI has declined to comment on the video.
