9/11 family members demand FBI ‘come clean’ about Sarasota Saudis, DOJ wants silence

FBI: complicit. "9/11 family members demand the FBI ‘come clean’ about Sarasota Saudis," by Dan Christensen and Anthony Summers for the Miami Herald, June 7

A group representing 6,600 survivors and relatives of those killed and injured in the 9/11 attacks called on the FBI Thursday to “come clean” about its investigation of Saudis in Florida who may have aided the terrorist hijackers.

The reaction by 9/11 Families United to Bankrupt Terrorism followed news that former U.S. Sen. Bob Graham had accused the FBI in court papers of concealing the existence of its Sarasota investigation and impeding Congress’s Joint Inquiry into the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.

“After almost 12 years, the time has come for the Department of Justice, the FBI and this administration to give the American people access to the truth about who financed the murder of 3,000 people on 9/11,” said Sharon Premoli, who was pulled from the rubble of the World Trade Center.

Graham, co-chairman of the Congressional probe, discussed the FBI’s performance in a sworn declaration given in support of a Freedom of Information lawsuit pending in federal court in Fort Lauderdale.

BrowardBulldog.org filed the suit last summer while seeking FBI records of its probe of Esam Ghazzawi, a former advisor to a senior Saudi Prince – who had he lived was well placed to become king – Ghazzawi’s wife Deborah and son-in-law and daughter, Abdulaziz and Anoud al-Hijji.

Sources have said that security records – including photos of license plates – from the gated community where the al-Hijjis lived later revealed that vehicles used by the future hijackers had visited the al-Hijji home.

The FBI, however, has publicly denied finding any evidence linking the family to 9/11.

Yet 31 pages of FBI documents released to BrowardBulldog.org in March say something very different: that the Sarasota Saudis had “many connections” to “individuals associated with the terrorist attacks on 9/11/2001.”
