Newly released documents reveal closer relationship between Saudi operative and 9/11 hijackers

Newly declassified documents shed light on a closer relationship between a Saudi operative, Omar al-Bayoumi, and two of the future hijackers of the 9/11 attacks. Previously portrayed as a casual helper, al-Bayoumi was revealed to have been receiving a monthly stipend from Saudi intelligence and tasked with gathering information on persons of interest in the Saudi community in the US. The documents also include a sketch drawn by al-Bayoumi that depicts a plane descending towards a target on the horizon, further raising questions about Saudi involvement. The revelations suggest a potential cover-up and have sparked calls for further investigation into the Saudi government's knowledge and potential role in the attacks.
