Saudi couple in Fla. part of 9/11? FBI says no, others raise questions

 

A news report about a Saudi family that disappeared from their home in Sarasota, Fla., just two weeks before the 9/11 attacks has brought an angry response from the co-chair of a congressional Sept. 11 committee.

Bob Graham, who was a senator from Florida when he co-chaired the panel, tells msnbc tv he contacted President Barack Obama's terrorism adviser after hearing about the news report, which documented that the family had had contact with three of the 9/11 pilot hijackers.

"I ... urged him to pursue an investigation of these matters, both in Sarasota and elsewhere ... and then hopefully release that information to the American people," Graham said Monday on The Dylan Ratigan Show, suggesting that other Saudi families in the U.S. might have also had contact with the terrorists, most of whom were Saudi.

 

Anthony Summers and Bob Graham discuss the Sarasota mystery on The Dylan Ratigan Show.

Reuters reported that the FBI office in Tampa issued a statement Monday saying the Sarasota case was one of many leads that "were resolved and determined not to be related to any threat nor connected to the 9/11 plot."

Graham said he had no reason to doubt the news report, which said the couple and their two children abruptly abandoned their luxury home, leaving behind a full refrigerator, clothes, furnishings and a new car in the driveway.

The report was published by BrowardBulldog.org, a nonprofit news site, and was simultaneously published on the Miami Herald website.

If true, it reveals another Saudi terrorism connection that the FBI never disclosed to the public or to the 2002 joint Congressional intelligence committee investigating the attacks, said Graham.

Reuters quoted Graham as calling the Sarasota case "eerily similar" to the FBI's failure to tell the intelligence committee about a former Saudi civil servant, Omar al-Bayoumi, who supported two hijackers while they were living in San Diego.

Graham said an investigator for his committee independently unearthed the information about al-Bayoumi.

"Why did the U.S. government go to such lengths to cover up the Saudi involvement?" Graham said.

The Democrat has long been critical of the administration of former President George W. Bush for refusing to release 28 pages of the intelligence committee's report, which allegedly included information about Saudi financial support of terrorists.

Information about the Saudi couple in Sarasota was reported by Anthony Summers, an independent journalist and co-author of "The Eleventh Day: The Full Story of 9/11 and Osama bin Laden," and Dan Christensen, editor of the BrowardBulldog.org.

Summers said on msnbc tv that a hushed-up inquiry found that "three of the (9/11) pilot hijackers had all been in touch with the Saudis in that house."

Abdulazzi al-Hiijjii, his wife Anoud and their two children resided in a home owned by Anoud's father, Esam Ghazzawi, in the gated Sarasota subdivision called Prestancia, according to the report.

The news report said the FBI learned of the couple from a suspicious neighbor on the day of the attacks.

According to the report, the FBI connected the couple to more than a dozen terrorists through telephone records and through their car license tags and driver's licenses as they passed through the subdivision's security gate.

Among the terrorists who visited the home or called the couple was 9/11 leader Mohamed Atta, the report said.

The news report was based on information from an unnamed counterterrorism official, a neighbor, subdivision administrators, the subdivision security guard and the subdivision lawyer, who said the FBI tried to get him to lure the homeowner back to the United States.

According to the report, the Sarasota couple returned to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with Anoud's father after abandoning their home.

The Bush and bin-Laden families were long-time friends.

You can bet that quite a bit of what went on with these Saudi families in the U.S. was not accounted for under Bush.

Time to get the truth out.

In the US, please americans, know that there is evil among many who have the power, they are in with other evil people from other countries. It is a dog eat dog world anymore, don't let something such as this investigation go unheeded, there has to be truth in it somewhere. People must dig deeper even if it becomes an embarrassment to them about their own country. It is not the country, it is the power hungry, greedy need for money people, and they all appear so upstanding, not so, research and you will see.

The main motives for the 9/11 attacks were 1) Non-Muslim troops in the Islamic holy-land of Saudi Arabia, 2) the meddling in the internal affairs of the vast majority of Muslim countries, 3) US support for dictators and tyrants in the region, including the Saudi family, 4) The US dismissing and sidelining the Palestinians and seemingly taking sides in the ongoing Israeli/Palestinian problem... Those are stated reasons from Al Qaeda, not my own opinions.

Although the Bush ties to the Saudi's isn't mainstream knowledge it isn't a secret either. In my investigation into the Tea Party I have ran across a bundle of info about ties starting with Grover Norquist introducing a Saudi to the powerbrokers of D.C. It seems these ties go back to Georger H.W. let me paste some of what I've uncovered.

Although Brisard's interpretation of events has been disputed, the documentation of Forbidden Truth is impeccable. Clearly, the finances and fortunes of the Saudi oligarchs and the Bush family have been intertwined for many years, and oil has been the lubricant of choice, even non-existent oil.
Never before in history has a president of the United States had such a close relationship with another foreign power as President Bush and his father have had with the Saudi royal family, the House of Saud. I have traced more than $1.4 billion in investments and contracts that went from the House of Saud over the past 20 years to companies in which the Bushes and their allies have had prominent positions -- Harken Energy, Halliburton, and the Carlyle Group among them.

Feds want to cut 23-year prison sentence of Grover Norquist's pal, Hamas-linked one-time leading U.S. "moderate" Muslim

Hamas-tied Islamic supremacist Abdurahman Alamoudi is Grover Norquist's good buddy and partner. He is serving 23 years. Now federal prosecutors are asking a judge to cut his prison term. Who is behind that?

Above checks are monies Alamoudi gave to Grover Norquist. (checks would not forward, google site to see)

Back in 2009, Insight magazine wrote:

Norquist was Alamoudi’s most influential Washington facilitator, authorities believe, noting that Norquist reminds friend and foe alike that he is close to the president’s powerful political strategist, Karl Rove.

Norquist, who previously has denied any suggestion that his work facilitated any wrongdoing, not only introduced Alamoudi to Washington GOP power circles but also Sammy Al Arian, whom prosecutors arrested earlier this year for alleged terrorist activities.

Federal law-enforcement sources say they are focusing on some of Norquist’s associates and financial ties to terrorist groups.
Alamoudi and other Muslim leaders met with Bush in Austin in July [2000], offering to support his bid for the White House in exchange for Bush’s commitment to repeal certain antiterrorist laws.
A photo of the Austin event shows Bush with Alamoudi standing over his left shoulder, flanked by the former head of the Pakistani Communist Party, several open supporters of the Hamas and Hezbollah terrorist groups and other individuals Insight is trying to identify.

But the one-time high-flyer last week signed a plea agreement with the U.S. government admitting his multiple crimes in return for a reduced sentence.
His confession makes for startling reading.

Alamoudi acknowledges having obtained money from the Libyan government and other foreign sources, “unlawfully, knowingly, and willfully falsified, concealed and covered up by a trick, scheme and device.”

He transmitted these funds to the United States, “outside of the knowledge of the United States government and without attracting the attention of law enforcement and regulatory authorities.”

In doing so, he engaged in illegal financial transactions and filed false tax returns.

He lied about his overseas travels, his interest in a Swiss bank account, his affiliation with a Specially Designated Terrorist (the Hamas leader, Mousa Abu Marzook), and his membership in terrorist-related organizations. [...]

Then there is the fact that Alamoudi’s Palm Pilot, seized at the time of his arrest, contained contact information for seven men designated as global terrorists by U.S. authorities

Following the trail goes on and on. The names to follow are Abramoff, DeLay, Rove and Norquist. And then there's this which makes one wonder:

It is thought to have been the biggest international cash airlift of all time, when $12billion in aid was flown by the Bush administration to postwar Iraq.

And now, for the first time, investigators auditing the cash have admitted that more than half of that huge amount may have been stolen when it got there in 'the largest theft of funds in national history'.
The Pentagon is finally closing the books on the reconstruction program in Iraq but still cannot say what happened to $6.6 billion of the money.

Paul Richter (no relation!) of the Los Angeles Times announced this financial fiasco in a June 2011 story that boggles the mind. It seems that some of our best and brightest bean counters figured out they could fit $2.4 billion in shrink-wrapped bricks of hundred dollar bills into a C130 transport plane, and right then and there they created a new monetary unit of measurement. They sent over five C130s, which everyone knows is $12 billion, right after Saddam Hussein was captured. Let’s figure out where that money went, okay?

It doesn't, really. 9/11 was a disaster that Bush/Cheney were willing to exploit but only someone who doesn't understand the depth of Bush/Cheney incompetence (or is paranoid) thinks they were complicit prior to 9/11.

    #1.13 - Wed Sep 14, 2011 7:33 AM EDT

    In the Boston Globe, March 11, 20004, Carl Unger, author of House of Bush, House of Saud: The Secret Relationship Between the World's Two Most Powerful Dynasties, states that the 9/11 commission should ask who authorized the evacuation of 140 Saudi nationals on at least 8 aircraft making stops in 12 cities immediately following the attacks. "Many of the passengers were high-ranking members of the royal House of Saud. About 24 of them were members of the bin Laden family, which owned the Saudi Binladin Group, a multibillion-dollar construction conglomerate." Unger obtained passenger lists for 4 of the flights, which are posted on his website: www.houseofbush.com and includes the name of Prince Ahmed bin Salman.

    9/11 is so vast, and so extensive with endless unanswered questions. I think anyone with two brain cells to rub together can deduct that a carefully orchastrated event happened, allowing the U.S. into the ME with full approval from its citizens. I saw buildings imploding, one without being hit by a jetliner, demolition style, I saw no proof that an airliner hit the pentagon, and I see no factual evidence that flight 93 crashed in Pennsylvania. I was TOLD that one hijackers ID survived the rubble of WTC2, and was found, that WTC7 collapsed into its own footprint because of "fire", and that the perpetrators were sophisicated airline pilots that could maneuver a plane in a ridicules pattern that no regular airline pilot could perform on their attack of the Pentagon.

    3,000 innocent lives? Yes, but thats only collateral damage to the Neocons who wrote, and participated in "a new Pearl Harbor" written in a "Project For The New American Century". THEY spell out for you what they're going to do, OPENLY, and trust that the zombiefied, drugged out American public is too fixated with their favorite tv shows, or latest Left-Right rant to even care.

    Or, maybe it is you who missed the pictures of the immediate aftermath of the hit on the Pentagon?

    There was no plane that hit the Pentagon, and only a hole in the ground where the plane supposedly hit the Pennsylvania field...

Proposals to President JFK that called for the CIA, or other operatives, to commit acts of terrorism in Miami and Washington D.C. and try to make it look like the Cubans did it, in order to get the American people on their side for going to war with Cuba. Sound familiar? This is not a conspiracy theory. These are public documents released by our government. A simple Google search and you'll easily find it. Luckily JFK turned down the proposals, but I think he was a more decent man than either of the Bushes.

    Danielle , re:5.14: " but I don't believe the government would have killed almost 3000 people of their own to be involved in two wars..." Danielle they might not have wanted that particular reaction from The Saudi Syndicate, but because of an ' intentional aggression ' initiated by the U.S. albeit the Texas Syndicate , knowing full well that The Saudis would respond violently. To say , they , (the CIA ?) , procured a violent reaction in order to undermine the Saudi control and be able to extort the Saudis position , (wealth , military presence , etc.) That would explain the Silence as to Saudi involvement in the 9/11 terrorism. It would also explain the invasion of Afghanistan and Irak even though the militarism or ability to carry out such a horriffic act does not lie with those two nations. That Invasion of those two countries might have been the extorted price that the Saudis paid Bush and his cohorts. Did Bush and his Cohorts expect a violence of 9/11? No! According their hoodlum-ism though , they did expect some form of violent terrorism that would let them invade the region. Just that they chose Iraq , along with Afghanistan , is further proof of the Bush family gangster mind , ( the venegance of the military man to get back to Iraq , i.e. the Kuwait fiasco , and the cohort intelligence surrounding Afghanistan and their notorious drug trafficking ! The undermining of Our system of democracy and democratic principles and justice by The Bush organization , gives credence to this very believable scenario , to say , the gangsterism is evident...

    RageAgainstThem,

    Oh, stop it. I've been hearing the same old tired cliched "another mindless drone, I feel sorry for you sheep" billsh*t for years now. If you have nothing to produce an effective rebuttal against what is said to you then shut up, but don't think that by calling someone a sheep you're going to convince them that you're right and they're wrong.

    In my opinion you're the sheep. You and all the New World Order/Illuminati/Bilderberg crowd. In fact, you're so incredibly sheepish that you all sound the same. You start all high and mighty with your enlightening, yet ominous theories, belittling anyone who even dares to mildly disagree with you. You lay it all out there, and if someone says he isn't fully convinced you "lament" how sucked into "the system" they are and how they're the perfect example of what the NWO/Bilderbergs/Illuminati want people to be like. Then someone with some neurons left in their brain pokes a couple of holes in your theory and suddenly you're too good to even argue with them. You, the enlightened one, the one who is so concerned with saving the world and informing us sheep, suddenly just do NOT want to argue with someone who is so insultingly obtuse and stubborn as to point out inconsistencies with your logic.

    In a sense, predictability is the mark of a true sheep, and I'm afraid to tell you, you are the single most predictable kind of person I know. You, sir, are a COOKIE-CUTTER conspiracist, a poor bastard with absolutely no capacity to think for himself. You are an identity-less drone among MILLIONS who babble all the SAME sh*t tirelessly all over the Internet. So please choose something else to pick on us with, because you're in no position to call ANYONE a sheep or a drone.

        I have been a victim of government works and know that the people in Florida are in danger and someone really needs to check on them, CONSTANTLY. I have since left the US and know for a fact that our government does things that you cannot imagine. Look at Cheney and waterboarding, we have always been a low as other governments, we were always made to believe we were so righteous, well they all have tried to take God out of our country because they know what lies ahead and it is not a pretty sight to see. I do believe that people in power who have money in this country, will exceed and go as far as taking the lives of the very citizens who voted them into office. This is a wake up call when you go to vote, you wouldn't believe just how far these tyrannts will go. Research for yourself and the power of knowledge will set you free or in this case you will end up dead. Burying your head in the sand is to no avail, stand united and fight the evil that serves it's master. Wake up America and smell the coffee you drink everyday and know that these things are happening and in your own country. Don't point the finger at other countries when there is so much evil right in your own backyard. Clean up your own pollution, there is still a chance. Find it in prayer to whatever God you seek, Mine is in Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior.

          Interesting article. I have often wondered if this case of a family that was killed in a murder suicide in SF, just before 9/11 was somehow connected to 9/11: .  Here are other articles about the case:  and . But I suppose that I shouldn't make connections just because this family is Palestinian and the murder suicide happened just prior to sept 11. I would hope SFPD thought to bring this case to the FBI at the time. *Shrugs* I'm sure there was no connection... but it was a strange case... and I have always wondered...

(I had linked articles to my comments but the system removed them. But google the information and the news articles should pop up: The family members were Anthony Shami, Anna Shami and their children Jasmine and Jamilah). But I suppose that I shouldn't make connections just because this family is Palestinian and the murder suicide happened just prior to sept 11.

          The only thing that still puzzles me about the events of 9/11 is how three buildings could collapse in their own footprint. One, I can understand. Two, that's stretching it a bit. Three, what are the odds of that happening. The two towers sustained major structural damage on the side of impact and principally to one side at a 90-degree intersection to that impact point. How weakened structural steel would have failed in every radius of the impact ~ on two buildings ~ and not resulted in tipping off the vertical axis remains a mystery. WTC7 was not even impacted and it fell in like manner. Trust me, I've read every engineering report available to the public regarding the WTC Towers. None have fully addressed this issue. In fact, some seem to deliberately stray off in another direction leaving the matter for continued speculation.

          Look at the photos of the Pentagon. You see the hole from the nose of the plane. But, the 6 ton engines on the wings didn't even make a dent? Maybe it wasn't a "plane".

          I am constantly amazed by the number of people who solemnly believe 9/11 was solely executed by a handful of "terrorists". The large number of pieces that don't fit this puzzle are the prime indicators that the full story has not been told to protect those involved.

          The good news are there are those who are still asking questions and seeking answers. RageAgainstThem is not just being controversial. His eyes are open - as should others -  to logically challenge the official story. Yes, we will not forget - that someone has fully executed an almost complete duping of the American public. I say almost as there are many of us who aren't buying the swamp land up for sale.

          9/11 was also coincidentally executed the "day after" Rumsfeld announced the DOD had lost over $1 trillion dollars on its books in the last DOD audit this country ever had.

          Since that day the DOD has run in a "no audit" status because it is claimed that 9/11 put their books in such chaos they cannot track expenses. Obama just extended the DOD no audit status until 2017 to they can try for 6 more years to get their books together.

          The DOD contractors "found" the trillion but it was in a top secret project that was abandoned. I watched a video on a Congressman trying to read the report and 85% of it was blacked out "for security". He said "this is unreadable and we have no clue where this money went". The reply was "we are following new security protocol changes since 9/11."

          Now whenever they want to "lose" a trillion the contractors just say it was top secret or black ops and Congress has to just suck it up and take their word for everything. In many ways 9/11 became a cout de ta for the military contractors and Pentagon to push Congress out of their spending.

          Never waste a disaster or even give one a "nudge". There was a lot of incentive to "let it all happen". It covered up massive contractor corruption for decades as well as giving them an open checkbook in the taxpayers name. We are now working on engaging our 4th unfunded war during a depression. That is power!

          We buried a great deal more than 3000 people on 9/11.

          Here is one of the methods used when GOPTP hear what they don't want to:

          If you find yourself in a debate with a Liberal where you are losing a fact-based argument then call them a name to derail their diatribe. Remember your goal is toprevent a meaningful exchange of views and ideas which may portray Liberalism in a positive light.

          Your goal as a conservative blogger is to stop the spread and advance of the Liberal agenda. Play upon any identifiable idiosyncrasies, character flaws, physical traits, names, to their disadvantage
          Monitor other posts for vulnerabilities you can exploit. Stay on the offensive with Liberal wimps. Don't let up. Insult their Movement Assign as many character and moral flaws to Liberals as you can.

          The ridiculousness of what Americans have been clearly deceived into believing about what actually happened on 9-11-2001, as compared to what virtually all Europeans believe -- makes the American citizenry look like a bunch of lame-brained lemmings.

          Whether we talk about Building #7 clearly having been put down by a controlled demolition, or the mere 15" diameter single hole in the wall of the Pentagon -- as documented in the immediate aftermath of the hit... whatever happened, did not happen as what our own government is still trying to shove down our throats.

          The one thing you can bet on though bush-liar and cheney were a part of it, with cheney likely the guiltiest of all.

          And, let's not leave out bush-senior... who was actually in a "board meeting" with bin laden's father in D.C. when the WTC's were hit... bush-senior and bin laden were on the board of director's of Carlyle (Military Industril complex manufacturer).

          bush senior, his CIA buddies and the bin ladens, and you can also bet herr cheney -- all made a ton of cash off these wars... but, are just innocent patriots?

            Actually, I heard (don't know if it is true or not), that somewhere along the family tree, the 2 families had an interracial marriage of some sort, so they think of each other as family in more than one way. I do find it interesting how many posters on other threads have bashed Obama for bowing to other heads of state, when visiting their country, but never any mention of Bush kissing and holding hands with the King of Saudi Arabia. Maybe they consider it incestuous and acceptable on that premise, rahter than bowing down to a complete stanger to show respect for their customs. Too strange.

            President Obama grew up in Muslim culture. Muslim culture, and for that matter Jewish culture, have great reverence for age. The hoary headed elder is considered the repository of wisdom, knowledge, and experience - attributes much loved, respected, and revered by Muslims, and traditional kosher Jews, specially by the young in these cultures.

            When Obama bowed to the British Queen and the Saudi King, Americans brought up in a culture that idolises youth and warehouses the elderly, misinterpreted his gesture - Obama was bowing to wisdom, erudition, and knowledge...and not to a King or Queen - both very much older than him.

            And we should be surprised about this why? Even a former Arabic speaking FBI agent wrote a book about his experince in the field, surrounding the investigations of 9/11, and the FBI gave the go ahead with the book after they reviewed it, but the CIA decided a bunch of it had to be redacted, before being published. Just how much stuff is there that the gov't. doesn't want us to know about 9/11? So much for transparency. And don't give me that crap about "national security", when it is 10 years after the fact. I guess Cheney, Bush (W.) and Rumsfeld will all have to be dead, before anything is released. More reasons not to trust the gov't.

              I hope that everyone will someday see the puppet G.W.Bush for what he really was. A man that was beholden to some powerful persons here and abroad somehow. Cheney was also a pawn in this great experiment from somewhere. The unbid contracts to halliburton and then getting caught charging excess profits on the oil they hauled to Iraq. How could an American company do this when our American service men were giving their all for these pawns to make big profits? Then to add insult to the American people, his pawns allowed the power brokers on Wall Street to steal the country blind. After they had a grand good time,he conned the American tax payer to bail them out. Mabe some people will see this experiment as it was, FAILED!

              None of this is really about not trusting the American government, it is about not knowing who actually IS the American government.

              After Sept. 11, 2001 Cheney said that he was going to put together a "back-up government," just in case it might be needed; then he disappeared. One of the things that the American people do not know or understand it that: once something is started by anyone, at any level in the government, with any authority to start ANYTHING, it continues until those that are doing it are told specifically to stop doing it.

              What that means for us as Americans is that: something is started, say you get put on a list, (very WWII don't you think) you will be on that list until someone gives an order for you to be taken off of the list.

              Now that you are on the list two things come into play; first, there is no reason, no incentive, for anyone to look into whether you belong on the list or not, and second, if, or when, the person who instigated you being put on the list leaves office or gets prompted, unless they give specific instructions about you being removed from the list, you will not be removed, EVER. That means that if you are under surveillance, for any reason, it will NEVER END.

              Kinda gives you a warm and fuzzy feeling; doesn't it.

              All of the stuff that I was told as a child was horrible and going on in Russia is going on here in America TODAY!

              What passes for the American government has NO respect for the American people. We have been studied and they know exactly what to do if there is a revolution; think Syria with more blood. And, they know that we are too apathetic and lazy to do anything that takes effort and that might get us hurt.

              The offical (sic) report says no black boxes were found,if that is ture (sic) it would be the first time in history no bb were never found.

              Apparently you did not watch any of the specials that were on TV commemorating the tenth anniversary of 9/11. If you had been watching, you would have seen the recovery of the black box for Flight 93. A while after that box was recovered, the families of the people who died on that flight were given the option of listening to the tape. How do you explain that? (BTW, "no bb were never found" is a double negative, which is grammatically incorrect. That should be "no bb was ever found". That does not include the misspelling of official and true. Again, your argument would be much more effective if your gave the impression that you have a shred of education.)

These people do not want to be bothered by facts. They like their conspiracy theories, it makes thier world a much more orderly and predictable place. They can not face the fact that the world is unpredictable and random. They claim that those who argue against them are on the pay of the "powers that be" and just looking out for the intrest of the order that rules this planet. In fact they are simply trying to superimpose thier own version of order on it, twisted as it is.

              You tell me Gator why the Bush regime wouldn't let the families sue over their losses when they had evidence to tell part of the story. My understanding is that Obama met with them...talked to them and promised to get back to them. Last I heard he hadn't.

              He probably isn't a Cheney. But he surely is a Dick.

              This isn't even news anymore. Everyone who is honest with themselves knows that Bush helped his Saudi friends and that they ALL had contacts with the terrorists. The only news we want to hear is that he is arrested and brought to trial for aiding the enemies of the United States. That's simply not going to happen.

              Exactly, to me that look on Bush's face as he sat in the school room on 9/11/2001 says "that SOB actually went through with it" referring to the Bin Laden memo.

              Come on people this is news? Try old news, the context of it now is more important. Coming days after the Saudi's threw down the gauntlet, with their warning that they would cause problems if the US exercised its veto in the UN during the proposed upcoming vote on Palestinian status within the UN. Which the US opposes. This is a "dead horse head" in the Saudi bed. Bin laden and the rest of the 9/11 crews were primarily Saudi, not Palestinian or Iranian. Get it?

              I'm with Barry on this Mike. Until the Tea Party started flexing it's crazy agenda I had no in depth interest in all of this so I never researched it. A wholeeeee lot of this is news to me.
