Saudi Arabia denies terror links
Saudi Arabia has responded angrily to allegations in a United States congressional report about its role in the 11 September attacks.
The 900-page report on the intelligence failings in the run up to the event accuses Riyadh of providing assistance to the hijackers and failing to co-operate with the US intelligence agencies.

Referring to the secret section of the report, the Saudi ambassador to the US, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, said "28 blanked-out pages are being used by some to malign our country and our people".

"Saudi Arabia has nothing to hide. We can deal with questions in public, but we cannot respond to blank pages."

BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner says the criticism of the Saudis among intelligence agencies has not been so much of what they did but what they did not do to combat extremists.

These folks are the veracious cuprites, like rats they stay hidden.

James Baker is defending the Saudis lawsuit that the 911 victims have against them.

4. So let me see if I get this right
Edited on Fri Jul-25-03 06:44 AM by DoYouEverWonder
bin Laden is a Saudi and supposedly most of the hijackers were Saudi. But according to the Saudis, the Saudis had nothing to do with it?

In the meantime, the Saudi royal family continues to pay their protection money, has they try to pretend all is well in the Kingdom. And of course, they will not allow any one to investigate them or to fully cooperate. They have nothing to hide.

Hey Bandar, if you really believe your bullshit, I've got some swamp land in Florida to sell you, at least it has water on it.

5. Didn't Iraq deny their involvement?
It didn't work for them, and they were telling the truth.

6. Hornet's nest
Bush's murderous pals in and out of the House of Saud are the main terrorist connections.
