Who Helped The 9 11 Hijackers When They Were In The U S

The 28 Pages

Former Democratic senator who investigated the 9/11 terrorist attacks says he believes the hijackers had support from within the U.S. to carry out their deadly plot.

Bob Graham, chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and co-chair of the bipartisan joint congressional inquiry into the attacks, said the investigation revealed wealthy Saudi Arabian individuals and charity networks aided the terrorists, reported 60 Minutes.

Some of those conspirators were living in the U.S., Graham said — including two Saudi nationals who helped the hijackers find housing and contacts who arranged for their flight training.

“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,” he said.

Graham and other members of the 9/11 commission want an infamous 28-page document, which details Saudi involvement in the attacks, to be declassified.

Those who have read the classified report, which is kept locked in guarded underground vaults called Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities, say it’s a working draft similar to a grand jury or police report that contains provocative evidence that’s not entirely verified.

The classified report suggests the possibility of official Saudi assistance for two hijackers who settled in Southern California, and ties to a Muslim cleric who assisted three other hijackers who settled in Virginia.

“Those are a lot of coincidences, and that’s a lot of smoke,” said Tim Roehmer, a former Democratic senator who’s read the classified report numerous times. “Is that enough to make you squirm and uncomfortable, and dig harder — and declassify these 28 pages? Absolutely.”
