Memos on Alleged Saudi-Affiliated Support of the 9/11 Attacks

The National Archives released a series of memos written by Sept. 11 Commission staff members, a compilation of numerous possible connections between the hijackers and Saudis inside the United States. The document appears to be a glimpse into what is still contained in the classified 28 pages of the congressional inquiry into the 2001 attacks.

http://nyti.ms/22lcHED

I realise that this is not new

news, and that these memos were released last year, but I was just reading through them and as far as I can see, no one has posted a blog about them yet.

TEXT version of parts - NAMES

NOTE - Thanks for finding this pdf.
I wanted names.
(names in text form for easy searches)
I am still looking for the names affiliated with the Family Victims Lawsuit (both current and the ones which were dropped).
(I converted parts of the pdf into text, but conversions are a long, time consuming chore with trying to correct spellings from the format change. So, there may be some typos below.)
It should also be noted that some people estimate the Royal Family to extend beyond 20,000 people. One documentary placed a figure of 30,000 for the Royal Family.

Over the years the lawsuit has changed repeatedly.
Some defendants have been dropped because of diplomatic immunity or because of some judicial ruling.
http://www.historycommons.org/context.jsp?item=a081502saudisuit#a081502saudisuit

I am curious about a list of defendants being sued.
Also, I am curious about a list of names which were dropped from the lawsuit for whatever reason.

EXCERPTS

A Brief Overview of Possible Saudi Government Connections to the September 11th attacks

(*I.) Southern California Connections
1. Omar Al-Bayoumi: Al-Bayoumi, a Saudi national, provided September 11 hijackers Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar with considerable assistance after the hijackers arrived in San Diego in February 2000. He helped them locate an apartment, co-signed their lease, and ordered Mohdhar Abdullah (discussed below) to provide them with whatever assistance they needed in acclimating to the United States. The FBI now believes that in January 2000 al-Bayoumi met with Fahad al-Thumairy, a Saudi diplomat and cleric, at the Saudi Consulate in Los Angeles before going to the restaurant where he met the hijackers and engaged them in conversation. Whether or not al-Bayoumi's meeting with the hijackers was accidental or arranged is still the subject of debate. During his conversation with the hijackers, Al-Bayoumi invited them to move to San Diego, which they did shortly thereafter. Al-Bayoumi has extensive ties to the Saudi Government and many in the local Muslim community in San Diego believed that he was a Saudi intelligence officer. The FBI believes it is possible that he was an agent of the Saudi Government and that he may have been reporting on the local community to Saudi Government officials. In addition, during its investigation the FBI discovered that al-Bayoumi has ties to terrorist elements as well.

2. Osama Bassnan: Bassnan was a very close associate of al-Bayoumi's, and was in frequent contact with him while the hijackers were in San Diego. Bassnan, a vocal supporter of Usama Bin Ladin, admitted to an FBI asset that he met al-Hazmi and al-Mihdhar while the hijackers were in San Diego, but denied this in a later conversation. There is some circumstantial evidence that he may have had closer ties to the hijackers, but the FBI has been unable to corroborate this additional reporting. Bassnan received considerable funding from Prince Bandar and Princess Haifa, supposedly for his wife's medical treatments. According to FBI documents, Bassnan is a former employee of the Saudi Government's Educational Mission in Washington, D.C.

3. Fahad Al-Thumairy: Until recently al-Thumairy was an accredited Saudi diplomat and imam at the King Fahad Mosque in Culver City, California. The news media reported that the U.S. Government revoked al-Thumairy's visa in May 2003; the diplomat subsequently returned to Saudi Arabia. The FBI now believes that Omar al-Bayoumi met with al-Thumairy at the Saudi Consulate in Los Angeles before al-Bayoumi went to the restaurant where he met the hijackers. According to witness reporting, al-Hazmi and al-Mihdhar were also taken to the King Fahad Mosque while they were in the United States.

4. Mohdhar Abdullah: Abdullah was tasked by Omar al-Bayoumi to provide al-Hazmi and al-Mihdhar with whatever assistance they needed while in San Diego. Abdullah, who became one of the hijackers' closest associates in San Diego, translated for them, helped them open bank accounts, contacted flight schools for the hijackers, and helped them otherwise acclimate to life in the United States.

5. Osama Nooh and Lafi al-Harbi: Al-Harbi and Nooh are Saudi naval officers who were posted to San Diego while hijackers al-Mihdhar and al­Hazmi were living there. After the September 11 ih attacks, the FBI determined that al-Hazrni had telephonic contact with both Nooh and al-Harbi while al-Hazmi was in the United States.

(*I.) This list is a summary of the most important individuals with whom the hijackers may have had contact.
There are others about whom we currently have less information but who may be of interest later in our inquiry.

(II.) Other Possible Saudi Government Contacts
1. Mohammed Quadir-Harunani: Quadir-Harunani has been the subject of an FBI counterterrorism investigation since 1999 and the FBI is currently investigating whether he had contact with the September 11th hijackers. In June 2000 a call was placed from Transcom International, a company owned by Quadir-Harunani, to a number subscribed to by Said Bahaji, one of the key members of the Hamburg cell. Quadir-Harunani is also a close associate of Usama bin Ladin's half-brother, Abdullah Bin Ladin (discussed below), who was assigned to the Saudi Embassy in Washington, D.C.

2. Abdullah Bin Ladin: Abdullah bin Ladin (ABL) is reportedly Usama bin Ladin's half-brother. He is the President and Director of the World Arab Muslim Youth Association (WAMY) and the Institute of Islamic and Arabic Studies in America. Both organizations are local branches of non­governmental organizations based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. According to the FBI, there is reason to believe that WAMY is "closely associated with the funding and financing of international terrorist activities and in the past has provided logistical support to individuals wishing to fight in the Afghan War." ABL has been assigned to the Saudi Embassy in Washington, D.C. as an administrative officer. He is a close associate of Mohammed Quadir­Harunani's and has provided funding for Transcom International.

3. Fahad Abdullah Saleh Bakala: According to an FBI document, Bakala was close friends with two of the September 11th hijackers. The document also notes that Bakala has worked as a pilot for the Saudi Royal Family, flying Usama Bin Ladin between Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia during UBL's exile.

4. Hamad Alotaibi: Alotaibi was assigned to the Saudi Embassy Military Division in Washington, D.C. According to an eyewitness report, one of the September 11th hijackers may have visited Alotaibi at his residence; another FBI document notes that a second hijacker may have also visited this address.

5. Hamid Al-Rashid: Al-Rashid is an employee of the Saudi Civil Aviation Authority and was apparently responsible for approving the salary of Omar al­Bayoumi. Hamid al-Rashid is also the father of Saud al-Rashid, whose photo was found in a raid of an al-Qa'ida safehouse in Karachi and who has admitted to being in Afghanistan between May 2000 and May 2001.

6. Homaidan Al-Turki: Al-Turki is a Saudi student living in Colorado. According to FBI documents, he has ties to the Saudi Royal Family and the Saudi Government is funding his education. Al-Turki was in contact with an individual in Germany in 2001 who was also in contact with one of the hijackers prior to the attacks.

7. Ghassan Al-Sharbi: Al-Sharbi is a Saudi student who was taking flight lessons in the Phoenix area before the September 11 attacks and is mentioned in the "Phoenix EC." The U.S. Government captured al-Sharbi in the same location where Abu Zubaida was discovered in early 2002. After Al-Sharbi was captured, the FBI discovered that he had buried a cache of documents nearby, including an envelope from the Saudi Embassy in Washington that contained al-Sharbi's flight certificate.

8. Saleh Al-Hussayen: According to FBI documents, Saleh Al-Hussayen is a Saudi Interior Ministry employee/official and may also be a prominent Saudi cleric. According to one news article, Saleh Al-Hussayen is the Chief Administrator of the Holy Mosques in Mecca and Medina. An FBI affidavit notes that Saleh Al-Hussayen stayed in the same hotel as three of the hijackers on September 10, 2001. He told the FBI that he did not know the hijackers. The FBI agents interviewing him, however, believed he was being deceptive. The interview was terminated when al-Hussayen either passed out or feigned a seizure and was taken to the hospital; he then departed the country before the FBI could reinterview him. Saleh Al-Hussayen is also the uncle of Saleh Al-Hussayen (discussed below).

9. Sami Al-Hussayen: In February 2003 Sami Al-Hussayen was arrested and charged with visa fraud. According to the indictment, al-Hussayen routed thousands of dollars he received from overseas sources to the Islamic Assembly of North America, an organization also under investigation for ties to terrorism. Al-Hussayen also allegedly set up web sites that promoted suicide bombing and using airplanes as weapons four months before the September 11 attacks.

10. Mohammed Fakihi: Fakihi is a Saudi diplomat. Until recently he was assigned to the Islamic Affairs Section of the Saudi Embassy in Berlin, Germany. Soon after the September 11th attacks, German authorities searched the apartment of Munir Motassadeq, an associate of the hijackers in Hamburg, and found Fakihi' s business card. According to press reports, the Saudis did not respond to German requests for information on Fakihi. More recently, German authorities discovered that Fakihi had contacts with other terrorists; Fakihi was subsequently recalled to Saudi Arabia .

11. Salah Bedaiwi: Bedaiwi is a Saudi Naval officer who was posted to a U.S. Navy base in Pensacola, Florida. He visited the Middle Eastern Market in Miami, a location frequented by several of the hijackers, and was in contact with at least one of the hijackers' possible associates. The FBI has been investigating these connections, as well as his ties to other terrorist elements .

12. Mohammed Al-Qudhaeein and Hamdan Al-Shalawi: Al-Qudhaeein and Al-Shalawi were both Saudi students living in the Phoenix area. Qudhaeein was receiving funding from the Saudi Government during his time in Phoenix. Qudhaeein and Al-Shalawi were involved in a 1999 incident aboard an America West flight that the FBI's Phoenix Office now believes may have been a "dry run" for the September 11 th attacks. Al-Qudhaeein and Al­Shalawi were traveling to Washington, D.C. to attend a party at the Saudi Embassy; the Saudi Embassy paid for their airfare. According to FBI documents, during the flight they engaged in suspicious behavior, including several attempts to gain access to the cockpit. The plane made an emergency landing in Ohio, but no charges were filed against either individual. The FBI subsequently received information in November 2000 that Al-Shalawi had been trained at the terrorist camps in Afghanistan to conduct Khobar Tower­type attacks and the FBI has also developed information tying Al-Qudhaeein to terrorist elements as well.

13. Ali Hafiz Al-Marri and Maha Al-Marri: Ali Al-Marri was indicted for lying to the FBI about his contact with Mustafa Al-Hasawi, one of the September 11th financiers. Ali Al-Marri, who arrived in the United States shortly before the September 11th attacks, attempted to call AI-Hasawi a number of times from the United States. The FBI has recently received reporting that he may also have been an al-Qa'ida "sleeper agent." According to FBI documents, Ali Al-Marri has connections to the Saudi Royal Family. The Saudi Government provided financial support to his wife, Maha Al-Marri, after Ali Al-Marri was detained and assisted her in departing the United States before the FBI could interview her.

...

FBI informant codenamed "Muppet." Two September 11 hijackers, Nawaf al­Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar, resided in San Diego with an FBI informant codenamed "Muppet." A third hijacker may also have visited Muppet's residence. The FBI agent handling "Muppet" prior to the attacks was aware that Muppet had two Saudi roommates named "Nawaf' and "Khalid," but did not know their complete identities until after the attacks. The FBI has investigated Muppet and has concluded that he did not have advance knowledge of the attacks. The FBI acknowledges that some questions remain with regard to Muppet's credibility, but does not believe that the remaining issues reflect on the central issue of whether he was aware of the hijackers' plans or intentions. The Joint Inquiry was not able to interview or depose Muppet to address these issues.

Hijackers' Associates in the United States

Anwar Aulaqi: According to source reporting, Aulaqi was Al-Hazmi and Al-Mihdhar's spiritual leader in San Diego. Aulaqi relocated to Falls Church, Virginia in 2001, and soon after, Hanjour, Al-Hazmi and several other hijackers moved to the East Coast and began to attend services at the Falls Church mosque. They received assistance from mosque members in locating housing, finding flight schools, and in relocating to New Jersey. The phone number for his mosque was found during a search of Ramzi Binalshib's Hamburg residence.

Mohammed Maan Al-Qhatani: It appears possible that Al-Qhatani was supposed to play a role in the September 11th attacks. The FBI has determined that in August 200I, Mohammed Atta was waiting for Al-Qhatani to arrive at the Orlando Airport. However, the INS inspector did not allow Al-Qhatani through immigration, and he returned to Saudi Arabia. He was subsequently detained by U.S. Forces in Pakistan, and is currently in GITMO.

Eyad Alrababah and Daoud Chehazeh: Alrababah and Chehazeh met Hanjour, Al­Hazmi and several other hijackers at Aulaqi's Falls Church mosque. Their stories are inconsistent as to how they met the hijackers and in the assistance provided. Alrababah helped the hijackers find housing in the area, drove them to Connecticut and then to New Jersey.

Phil and Jim Fayez Nouri: Jim rented the hijackers an apartment in the Paterson, New Jersey, and Phil owned a bakery frequented by the hijackers. The Nouri brothers were previously the subject of an FBI investigation for their ties to Matarway Saleh, who was convicted in the TERRSTOP investigation.

Salah Bedaiwi: Bedaiwi is a Saudi naval officer who was posted to a navy base in Pensacola, Florida. The PENTIBOM team was attempting to determine whether he had contact with any of the hijackers during their time in Florida.

Mohammed Quadir-Harunani: Quadir Harunani has been the subject of an FBI counterterrorism investigation since 1999. He is a possible associate of Mohammed Atta and Marwan Al-Shehhi. Relocated from Virginia to Florida in-the summer of 2001. He was in telephonic contact with Said Bahaji, one of the Hamburg cell members in June 2001.

Ashraf El-Maghraby: Maghraby was a friend of Mohammed Atta's from college, and currently lives in Florida. He is also an associate of Quadir-Harunani.

Said Rageah: Rageah .is an imam in Laurel, Maryland and is also a fundraiser for the Global Relief Foundation. Several of the hijackers left a bag at his prayer center the day prior to the attacks.

Hassan Sabri: Sabri is a fairly radical Imam in Pompano Beach, Florida. FBI fingerprint analysis determined that a bag left at Sabri's mosque on September 8, 2001 belonged to Mohammed Atta. Sabri is an associate of Said Rageah, the imam of the Prayer Center in Laurel where the hijackers left another bag prior to the attacks.

Fahad Al-Thumairy: Thumairy is an accredited Saudi diplomat and imam at the King Fahad Mosque in Culver City, California. Al-Bayoumi, the individual who "accidentally" met Al-Hazmi and Al-Mihdhar at a restaurant in Los Angeles, and invited them to move to San Diego, stopped at the Saudi Consulate before visiting the restaurant. The FBI now believes that he may have met with Al-Thumairy at the Consulate. Al­Hazmi and Al-Mihdhar were taken to the King Fahad Mosque during their time in L.A., though the FBI still does not know with whom they met at the mosque.
Abdullah Bin Ladin: Abdullah Bin Ladin is UBL's half brother, and is an accredited diplomat at the Saudi Embassy in Washington, D.C. He is a very close friend of Quadir Harunani, a possible associate of Atta and Al-Shehhi's.

Homaidan AI-Turki: Al-Turki is a Saudi student living in Colorado, whose education is being funded by the Saudi Government. He was in contact with an individual in Germany in 2001, who was also in contact with one of the hijackers. His uncle is a prominent Saudi Cleric, and he also has other ties to the Saudi Royal Family.

Wiam Azhak: Azhak is a Blind Sheikh follower who resides in the Los Angeles area. He came to San Diego in January 2000, several days before the hijackers arrived in Los Angeles, to meet with Anwar Aulaqi and Fathi Abdalla. Both Aulaqi and Abdallah were close associates of Al-Mihdhar and Al-Hazmi during their time in San Diego.

Diah Thabet: Thabet was an associate of Al-Hazmi and Al-Mihdhar's during their time in San Diego.

Saleh Al-Hussayen: Al-Hussayen is a prominent Saudi cleric, who apparently also has ties to the Saudi government. He stayed in the same hotel as Nawaf Al-Hazmi on September 10th, 2001. When interviewed by the FB1, he feigned a seizure, was sent to the hospital and then left the country before the FBI could reinterview him. He's the uncle of Sami Al-Hussayen, a Saudi student in Idaho who was recently deported. Sami Al-Hussayen is connected to the Islamic Association of North America, a Saudi charity with terrorist ties.

Ibrahim AI-Kulaib: Al-Kulaib is a diplomat at the Saudi Embassy in Washington, D.C. He runs a charity with possible ties to terrorism, and is also connected to FNU Alzweiy, an individual with connections to terrorist elements. A document located at a site in Afghanistan where biotoxins were discovered had a P.O. Box listed in Virginia. This P.O. Box had been rented by Alzweiy for several years.

FNU Qureshi: Qureshi was an associate of Hanjour's in Phoenix, and also spent time with the hijackers in Florida.

Bin Bishr: In March 2000, Al-Mihdhar told a family member that he was staying at Bin Bishr's residence in the San Diego area. The FBI is currently attempting to determine Bin Bishr's identity.

Abu Ahmad: In March 2000, Al-Mihdhar provided details to a family member about his relationship with an "Abu Ahmad," who was a naturalized U.S. citizen, worked as a taxi driver, and had just taken a second wife. The FBI is currently attempting to determine "Abu Ahmad's" identity.

Bandar Al-Hazmi: Al-Hazmi was a close associate of Hani Hanjour's during his time in Phoenix. It is not known whether he is related to Nawaf Af-Hazmi.

Osama Nooh and Lafi AJ-Harbi: Al-Harbi and Nooh are Saudi naval officer who were posted to San Diego while Al-Mihdhar and Al-Hazmi were living there. After the 9/11 attacks, the FBI determined that Al-Hazmi had made a number of calls to Nooh and Al­Harbi.

Mohdhar Abdullah: Abdullah was tasked by Omar Al-Bayoumi to provide al-Hazmi and al-Mihdhar with whatever assistance they needed while in San Diego. Abdullah translated for them, helped them open bank accounts, and contacted flight schools for the hijackers. After the attacks, individuals from one of the San Diego mosques told the FBI that Abdullah also participated in the closed door meetings with the hijackers and Aulaqi. In a proffer session with the FBI, Abdullah admitted that Al-Mihdhar had told him that he was connected to a terrorist organization, and that he had heard al-Hazmi express extremist views.

Lofti Raissi: Raissi is an Algerian radical who had lived in the Phoenix area. He returned to Phoenix in July 200 I for approximately one month. The FBI now believes that he may have been providing last minute training or evaluation for Hanjour and several of his associates to determine whether they were prepared for the attacks. While in Phoenix, Raissi apparently went to a flight simulator with Hanjour, Rayed Abdullah, and Faisal Al-Salmi.

Mohammed AJ-Qudhaeein: AI-Qudhaeein, a Saudi student living in the Phoenix area, also ran the area's Saudi club. He was receiving funding from the Saudi Government during his time in Phoenix. He and Hamdan Al-Shalawi were involved in a 1999 incident aboard an America West flight, which FBI Phoenix now believes may have been a “dry run" for September 11th. They were on their way to a party at the Saudi Embassy in Washington, and their tickets were paid for by the Saudi Embassy. The FBI received information in November 2000 that Al-Shalawi had been trained at the terrorist ·camps in Afghanistan to conduct Khobar Tower-type attacks. The FBI has not been able to demonstrate direct ties between either Al-Qudhaeein/ Al-Shalawi and Hani Hanjour, but the FBI has determined that they associated with some of the same people.

Abdussattar Shaikh: Al-Hazmi and AI-Mihdhar lived with Shaikh during their time in San Diego. Although Shaikh informed the FBI that he met the hijackers at the mosque several months after they arrived in San Diego, it now appears possible that the hijackers knew Shaikh before their arrival.

Ramez Noaman: Noaman was a close friend of Nawaf Al-Hazmi's in San Diego

Omar Al-Bayoumi: Al-Bayoumi met Al-Hazmi and Al-Mihdhar at a restaurant in Los Angeles. Whether or not the meeting was accidental is still the subject of debate. He invited them to move to San Diego, which they did shortly thereafter. When they arrived, he helped them find an apartment, co-signed their lease, and tasked Mohdhar Abdullah to provide them with whatever assistance they needed while in San Diego. Interestingly, al­Hazmi warned Shaikh at one point to stay away from Al-Bayoumi because he was a Saudi spy.

Osama Bassnan: Bassnan was a very close associate of Al-Bayoumi's, and was in contact with him several times a day while the hijackers were in San Diego. The hijackers' relationship to Bassnan, a known UBL supporter, is less clear. There is circumstantial evidence indicating that they had a relationship, and that Bassnan provided them with assistance but nothing conclusive.

Omar Bakarbashat: Bakarbashat was one of the hijackers' closest associates in San Diego.

Osama Owadallah: Another one of the hijackers' associates in San Diego. The FBI discovered after the attacks that Owadallah lived in a UBL safe house for a brief period, which was operated by Attiqullah Ahamdi, a Blind Shaikh_ follower.

Mosques visited by the hijackers

King Fahad Mosque: The King Fahad Mosque is a fairly radical and anti-Western establishment, located in Culver City, California. The mosque was built in 1998 with funding from the Saudi Royal Family, and a number of Saudi diplomats attend services there. Al-Hazmi and Al-Mihdhar were taken there by Mohdhar Abdullah, though it is not known with whom they met during their visit.

Ayah Islamic Prayer Center: This center is run by Said Rageah, a fundraiser for the Global Relief Foundation: The hijackers left a bag at the center the day prior to the attacks. The FBI has not been able to determine whether the hijackers had contact with Rageah or anyone else in the mosque.

Pompano Mosque: The Pompano Mosque is run by Hassan Sabri, a radical with possible ties to Barnas. The hijackers also left a bag at this mosque prior to the attacks. As with the Ayah Prayer Center, the FBI has been unable to establish any other contact between the hijackers and the members of the mosque.

Islamic Cultural Center: Hani Hanjour and Nawaf Al-Hazmi attended this mosque during their time in the Phoenix area.

Saranac Street Mosque: The Saranac Street Mosque in San Diego was run by Anwar Aulaqi, al-Midhar and AI-Hazmi's spiritual leader. After the attacks, several people informed the FBI that the hijackers and Mohdhar Abdullah had closed door meetings with Aulaqi at the mosque.

Dar Al Hijra: In 2001, Aulaqi relocated from San Diego to Falls Church, Virginia, where he assumed control of this mosque. Several months later, Al-Hazmi, Hanjour, and several other hijackers began to attend services and to spend time at the mosque. Several individuals from this mosque provided assistance to the hijackers in finding an apartment, and in relocating to New Jersey.

Islamic Center of San Diego: Al-Hamzi and Al-Mihdhar spent considerable time at this mosque during their time in San Diego.

Person of intrest?

Great comprehensive list, as long as we always remember that in all likely hood almost every Saudi connection is probably a patsie or part of the limited hangout plot to steer one away from: Who really blew up the WTC & Pentagon AND anthraxed congress & the press in Sept of 2001? Stop fake and false flag terror, www.rethink911.org AND THEN check every mass casualty event for the telltale signs, starting with were there any drills going on that could have gone live or helped cover up. Thanks, Tom

I am studying puzzle pieces. Saudi, Oil, Banking, 28 pgs, etc.

I am with you.

As far as 9/11 Truth Actions...
Our group actions focus on Ae911Truth objectives and information. In fact, at the "March Against Monsanto" in Dallas last Saturday May 21st, we handed out DVDs and brochures about 9/11 (but also DVDs about Fluoride depending upon the person and situation). We were at Dealy Plaza, the JFK Memorial, with many visitors. Our group members are involved in many different altruistic endeavors and one is the Fluoride Campaign ( http://www.dogsagainstfluoridation.com/ ) which meshes well with the Monsanto Protest. But many protestors and some visitors have an interest in telling others about 9/11, so we arm them with Ae911Truth brochures and DVDs to give out to their friends. Monsanto Group Photo - http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/5/a/highres_450243162.jpeg
Our "North Texans for Truth" group is about Outreach Actions and visibility.

But as part of my OCD fixation, I have long been following oil and the markets including banking, Saudi Arabia, the 28 pages, world events, etc.
There are some things that don't add up on the surface for me. Plus, there are some odd "timings" in the oil market, banking, Saudi Arabia and its recent coup, the 28 pages, etc.

Much of the Saudi Royal culture is out of view and foreign to the west.
Many people do not know about the coup which has taken place in recent years. Example - http://911blogger.com/news/2016-04-10/bob-graham-60-minutes#comment-263722

Also, the Saudi Royal Family is huge. Thousands. Maybe even 30,000.
And just like in any country, there are going to be factions. And many of these factions are united as part of a family unit in loyalty. And the Royals as a whole seem loyally united as a country when it comes to a "defensive posture" against "threats" from other countries, despite the sins of some of its Royal family. "Sins" -Example of a US Drug indictment on a Royal - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxV4Lmcp5y8

Anyway, I am gathering data.

Regarding #7 above - GHASSAN ABDULLAH AL SHARBI

7. Ghassan Al-Sharbi: Al-Sharbi is a Saudi student who was taking flight lessons in the Phoenix area before the September 11 attacks and is mentioned in the "Phoenix EC." The U.S. Government captured al-Sharbi in the same location where Abu Zubaida was discovered in early 2002. After Al-Sharbi was captured, the FBI discovered that he had buried a cache of documents nearby, including an envelope from the Saudi Embassy in Washington that contained al-Sharbi's flight certificate.

This article talks about #7.
http://mutualradionews.com/document-17-the-smoking-gun-which-links-saudi-arabia-to-911/

....Blogger Brian P. McGlinchey noted on his blog, 28pages.org that its not uncommon for people to re-use envelopes or to correspond with their nations embassy while living in a foreign country. But did say nonetheless, that this — and the rest of Document 17 — directly indicates another possible connection between the Saudi government, al-Qaeda, and the 9/11 terrorist attack...

...McGlinchey noted that Lesemann and Jacobson had previously worked together on the 2002 joint congressional 9/11 intelligence inquiry and authored the classified, 28-page chapter on foreign government financing of the attacks. The 47 pages of Document 17 was their proposal to extend that research.

In Document 17 Lesemann and Jacobson asked two specific, eye-catching questions; 1. How Aggressively has the U.S. Government investigated possible ties between the Saudi Government and/or Royal Family, and the September 11th attacks? And 2. To what extent have the U.S. Government’s efforts to investigate possible ties between the Saudi Government and/or Royal Family, and the September 11th attacks been affected by political, economic, or other considerations?...

...Lesemann was later fired from her position by the 9/11 Commission head Philip Zelikow, when he discovered she had gone around him to obtain a copy of the now classified 28 page 9/11 report for her investigation....

But I thought they were unsubstantiated investigative records

I don't know for sure on the Joint Inquiry.

When looking over the document, you see many, many great questions posed by the staff of the 9/11 Commission. And we know now that not every question was followed up on.

QUOTE from the New York Times MAY 17, 2016
Memos on Alleged Saudi-Affiliated Support of the 9/11 Attacks
The National Archives released a series of memos written by Sept. 11 Commission staff members, a compilation of numerous possible connections between the hijackers and Saudis inside the United States. The document appears to be a glimpse into what is still contained in the classified 28 pages of the congressional inquiry into the 2001 attacks.

A Sample of the many Questions posed (which also contains data)

SECRET and COMMISSION SENSITIVE

Key Questions Regarding Possible Saudi Government and Royal Family Connections to the September 11 Hijackers and Other Terrorists and Terrorist Groups

I. Did any individuals, companies, religious institutions, or charitable organizations connected to the Saudi Government and/or Royal Family provide logistical, operational, financial, or theological support for the September 11, 2001, attacks? Were any individuals connected to the Saudi Government and/or Royal Family aware of the September 11th plot prior to the attacks? Specifically:
1. Omar al Bayoumi:
>- Do you believe that al Bayoumi was acting as an agent of the Saudi Government in San Diego? If so, what was his function?
>- If he was tasked to watch Saudi government dissidents, shouldn't al Mihdhar and al Hazmi, two Saudi al Qa'ida members, have aroused his suspicions?
In the 1990s, al Bayoumi received approximately $400,000 from the Saudi Government to establish a mosque in the San Diego area. Have you determined whether or not this contribution was unusual, and whether other individuals in the U.S. received similar contributions? What other funding did al Bayoumi receive from the Saudi Government?
Al Bayoumi reportedly had a "no show" job with Dallah/Avco, a Saudi contractor of the Saudi Civil Aviation Authority. What services was al Bayoumi providing in exchange for his salary and other funding? Why would Dallah/ Avco be willing to employ al Bayoumi in this capacity? Have you developed any information tying Dallah/ Avco to al Qa'ida or to other terrorist elements?
>- Do you know why al Bayoumi's allowances from Dallah/Avco were dramatically increased beginning in April 2000?
>-Do you believe the meeting between al Bayoumi and hijackers Mihdhar and Hazmi was accidental or planned?
>-In the same time frame that he met Hazmi and Mihdhar in Los Angeles, al Bayoumi told an individual that he was going to Los Angeles to pick up visitors. The individual did not recall any other of al Bayoumi's visitors in that time period besides al Hazmi and al Mihdhar. Have you determined whether al Bayoumi was referring to picking up visitors other than al Hazmi and al Mihdhar in Los Angeles?
>-Have you been able to rule out the possibility that al Bayoumi provided al Hazmi and al Mihdhar with financial assistance while the hijackers were in the United States?
>-Al Bayoumi helped Al Hazmi and Al Mihdhar establish a bank account with a $9900 cash deposit. Do you know the source of those funds? Is there any indication that al Bayoumi was the source of those funds?
In interrogations Khalid Sheikh Mohammed has said that al Mihdhar and al Hazmi were sent to the West Coast with specific instructions to seek out assistance from mosques and the local communities. Have you determined whether KSM or other al Qa'ida leaders provided al Mihdhar and al Hazmi and other hijackers with specific contacts in the United States?
>-Did Director Mueller or FBI leadership make any progress with the Saudi Government in their efforts to interview al Bayoumi during their recent visit to Riyadh?
