Fresh evidence links Saudi government to 9/11: Flight certificate of would-be bomber found
UK Daily Mail ^ | 4/20/2016 | Lydia Willgress

Posted on 04/20/2016 8:50:39 AM PDT by LNV

"Officials have revealed that the flight certificate of Al-Qaeda bomb maker Ghassan Al-Sharbi was discovered hidden in an envelope from the Saudi embassy in Washington when they arrested him in 2002...The cache was discovered by US authorities and details, written in a memo known as Document 17 in 2003, were released without fanfare by investigators last year. They were only brought to the public's attention when an activist discovered them and wrote about them on his website earlier this week."

Obama has even read the 28 pages. Too busy golfing.

Butt kissing won't do it for this lame duck Iranian Shiite supporter.
The Wahabbi Saudis will not forgive that move by Obama who sides with the Shiite heretics. -Tom

Interesting how this appears in the UK press. Is there anything in the US MSM on this?

I wouldn’t be surprised if some Saudi embassy personnel were (or are) terrorist sympathizers, but doesn’t the Saudi embassy regularly deal with most Saudi citizens attending school in the US? Is most of this proof of anything?

Saudis are NOT our friends.

Impose a travel ban with approx. 25 Mid-East/North African countries. Visas for nationals from those countries allowed for business - only after confirmation from US host, security review and personal interview.

BUT...
“One senator claimed earlier this month that Obama would make a decision on whether the papers, which are rumored to expose Saudi’s connection to the attacks, would be released within 60 days.”

1/2 page per day. He’s the smartest, hardest-working man in the world, so he must be stalling. Then will someone ask why he’s stalling?

It doesn’t make sense that the embassy would have sent a flight certificate to someone. Which means that the envelope was originally used for some other communication. But is it that unusual for a person to receive mail from their own country’s embassy while in a foreign country? It could mean something but it might not.

New evidence?

What more ‘evidence’ is needed?

Three Saudi princes suddenly and mysteriously died after 9/11 and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed named at least one of the princes who died.....prior to the prince’s death.

The only way to know is to release all the papers. Not that I’m holding my breath.

What is a flight certificate?

I wondered that too. Was a “flight certificate” permission to fly to the US or was it some kind of certification of his flying abilities from the Saudis? This is the hijacker who didn’t make it onto the flight, btw, and his documents were found buried somewhere (where?), so obviously he thought it was pretty incriminating.

I assumed that the article was referring to the official document he would have received from a flight school or the FAA. Apparently the proper name for the FAA document is a "pilot certificate".

But as livius point out, maybe it is something else. Another question I had was how they found a cache of documents that had been buried.

Why is Obama spending six days in SA? He should just stay.
