THE SAUDIS PAID OFF BIN-LADEN!

In August of this year a lawsuit for $1 trillion was filed by terror victims' families against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and many members of the Royal family. Documents filed by the lawyers of the 9-11 victims' families show clearly that Saudi Arabia gave Osama Bin-Laden and the Taliban $300 million to attack targets other than Saudi Arabia. Further, the Saudis gave Bin-Laden and the Taliban hundreds of millions of dollars of other financial assistance and oil.

The documents filed in the case name several Saudi royals involved in the deal and provide the details of how Saudi businesses and charities funneled the money to Bin-Laden.

The money was used to fund and maintain terrorist training camps in Afghanistan that were used by some of the mass murderers that attacked the United States on 9-11. The court documents have identified Prince Turki al-Faisal al-Saud associated with the Saudi secret police as present at a meeting with Bin-Laden and members of the Pakistani intelligence agency in Kandahar in July of 1998 to strike further deals.

SAUDI CITIZENS GET FAST TRACK VISAS

Even though 15 of the 19 September 11th mass murderers were Saudi citizens, the State Department and the INS continue to give this group preferential treatment. Saudi citizens get fast track visas to the United States. To obtain a visa, no Saudi has to wait for a background check as to identity; the visa is automatic. The only requirement other than a photo and $65 is that "applicants will be required to provide convincing evidence of significant ties to a residence outside the United States that would not readily be abandoned." In other words they must show that they have family to come back to in Saudi Arabia. All 15 mass murderers had family in Saudi Arabia, so their visas were processed at once.
