“The FBI on Saturday [9/11/2021] released the first document related to the 9/11 attacks since President Biden ordered the declassification of more records last week, unveiling a memo detailing ‘significant logistic support’ that two of the Saudi hijackers received in the U.S.
The document, which is heavily redacted, comes from the secret FBI investigation into 9/11 — dubbed ‘Operation Encore’ — which centered on the two hijackers who lived in San Diego and who may have assisted them. …
The declassification is part of a push by families of victims from 9/11 who are suing Saudi Arabia for money and demanding to know if the government provided aid to the hijackers. …
Jim Kreindler, court-appointed co-chair for the plaintiffs, said in a statement that the new document supports their case. ‘The findings and conclusions in this FBI investigation validate the arguments we have made in the litigation regarding the Saudi government’s responsibility for the 9/11 attacks. This document, together with the public evidence gathered to date, provides a blueprint for how al Qaeda operated inside the U.S. with the active, knowing support of the Saudi government.'”
