Just 15 days before the 9/11 attacks, a well-connected Saudi family suddenly abandoned their luxury home in Sarasota, Fla., leaving behind jewelry, clothes, opulent furniture, a driveway full of cars including a brand new Chrysler PT Cruiser and even a refrigerator full of food.
About the only thing not left behind was a forwarding address. The occupants simply vanished without notifying their neighbors, realtor or even mail carrier.
The 3,300-square-foot home on Escondito Circle belonged to Esam Ghazzawi, a Saudi adviser to the nephew of then-King Fahd. But at the time, it was occupied by his daughter and son-in-law, who beat a hasty retreat back to Saudi Arabia just two weeks before the attacks after nearly a six-year stay here.
Neighbors took note of the troubling coincidence and called the FBI, which opened an investigation that led to the startling discovery that at least one family member trained at the same flight school as some of the 9/11 hijackers in nearby Venice, Fla.

Per Wiki:
A news report about a Saudi family that disappeared from their home in Sarasota, Fla., just two weeks before the 9/11 attacks has brought an angry response from the co-chair of a congressional Sept. 11 committee. [Senator] Graham called Sarasota case “eerily similar” to the FBI’s failure to tell the intelligence committee about a former Saudi civil servant, Omar al-Bayoumi, who supported two hijackers while they were living in San Diego..independent journalist Anthony Summers..said on msnbc tv that a hushed-up inquiry found that “three of the (9/11) pilot hijackers had all been in touch with the Saudis in that house.”
Abdulazzi al-Hiijjii, his wife Anoud and their two children resided in a home owned by Anoud’s father, Esam Ghazzawi, in the gated Sarasota subdivision called Prestancia, according to the report...According to the report, the FBI connected the couple to more than a dozen terrorists through telephone records and through their car license tags and driver’s licenses as they passed through the subdivision’s security gate.
Among the terrorists who visited the home or called the couple was 9/11 leader Mohamed Atta, the report said. Graham said he had no reason to doubt the news report, which said the couple and their two children abruptly abandoned their luxury home, leaving behind a full refrigerator, clothes, furnishings and a new car in the driveway. The news report was based on information from an unnamed counterterrorism official, a neighbor, subdivision administrators, the subdivision security guard and the subdivision lawyer, who said the FBI tried to get him to lure the homeowner back to the United States. According to the report, the Sarasota couple returned to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with Anoud’s father after abandoning their home.

Whoops...
Tyrants just love people with your type of inquiring mind.
I would like to see Jeb Bush asked about why his brother so assiduously covered up Saudi involvement in 9/11.
You might if you were closely associated with known terrorist and other very other questionable individuals including possibly the 9/11 ringleader Mohamed Atta. Atta's vehicle ID had been logged into this high-end gated neighborhood. Along with other 911 hijackers.
I wouldn't expect them to cruise around in flashy Lamborghini's while going about their work here.
This is disturbing no matter how ya chop it up...And Mr. Atta's car was ID'd coming into this gated community?
That's an understatement.
Because if this story is accurate, then it's a monumental revelation and begs a whole bunch of questions.
I believe that George Bush and other politicians have been paid off. Why they have covered up for the Saudis I do not know. The Saudis are not anyone’s friends.
Damn right. Indeed they are not. And they are obvious in their evil.
If accurate, this story should and likely will become front page stuff, very quickly.

I’ve always assumed that the foreign policy — and military assets, by extension — of the U.S. government has been up for sale to the highest foreign bidder for years. If the leadership of the U.S. was really concerned about the threat of radical Islam, we would have been on Irag’s side in the 1990 Gulf War.
How about the Saudi kid Mooch visited and then was spirited out of the country after the Boston marathon bombing?
I would like to see Jeb Bush asked about why Jamie Gorelick isn’t hanging from a tree.
In Muslim totalitarian cultures information is shared by and to trusted family members - father to brother to wife to wife's sister to husband to father etc... In short order everyone in the country knows what's going on... but that does NOT explain why cars tags from hijackers would be logged at this gated Florida community. Or why this family was given protection. The implication is 'friends of Bush'... is that true?
Saudis have funded more mosque around the globe than anyone. They want to spread their violent gutter religion around the world.
Wealthy by American trailer park standards.
I noted that too.
