Snimke, do kojih su došli BBC Panorama i Radio 4, dio su dokaza u višemilijarderskom sudskom postupku obitelji žrtava 11. rujna protiv Saudijske Arabije. One tvrde da su saudijski dužnosnici pomagali nekim od otmičara i da je Rijad bio povezan s napadima, što Saudijska Arabija kategorički odbacuje.

Omar al-Bayoumi već je godinama predmet tužbe obitelji žrtava ovog terorističkog napada ali je tvrdio da je u SAD-u bio samo student bez kontakta s teroristima koji su oteli avione ili saudijskim dužnosnicima. Međutim, tajne snimke koje je FBI dobio malo nakon napada, pokazuju da je igrao paintball i družio se s Anwarom al-Awlakijem, koji je kasnije postao jedan od vodećih ljudi Al-Quaide.

Additionally, investigators discovered a diagram suggesting Bayoumi’s possible awareness of the 9/11 attacks, although both Bayoumi and Saudi Arabia deny any knowledge or involvement.

'On the Saudi Trail of 9/11' (3/4). In the early 1990s, the break between Riyadh and the leader of Al-Qaeda appeared complete. Osama bin Laden was forced into exile after fiercely opposing the American military presence in Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War. However, documents from the FBI and the CIA later revealed that certain religious circles within the kingdom never severed ties with the terrorist group.
