FBI Seeking New Associate of 9/11 Hijackers
Fox News ^ | 20 August 2002 | staff

Fox News headline only, FBI seeks new associates of 9/11 hijackers. Just wanted to start this thread as a spot to post the news as it breaks.

Speculation? In US or outside US? Are Saudis helping? Financial or logistical support? Where did the intelligence come from? Afghanistan?

Up to now, there hasn't been a single document found used to plan the 9/11 attack. Maybe they've found some documents. Maybe they have a defector.

Actaully, I believe they found documents in the rental cars with information shortly after 9/11 about the attacks. Could be wrong though, it was a weird few weeks...

FBI Issues Nationwide Alert for New Associate of 9/11 Hijackers

Tuesday, August 20, 2002

WASHINGTON — Nearly a year after the Sept. 11 attacks, the FBI issued a nationwide bulletin Tuesday night seeking the arrest of a Saudi newly identified as a suspected associate of the hijackers.

The bulletin issued to law enforcement across the country sought the immediate arrest of Saud A.S. al-Rasheed, 21, of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The FBI said the sudden bulletin was based on information developed over the last few days, and it warned police Saud should be considered armed and dangerous.

"On Aug. 15, 2002, material previously recovered during the war on terrorism were found to be related to several of the Sept. 11 hijackers," the FBI said.

The materials included an image of a Saudi Arabian passport belonging to al-Rasheed which had been issued in Riyadh in May 2000. "Al-Rasheed's current whereabouts are unknown," the FBI bulletin said.

"Al-Rasheed is suspected to be associated with the September 11, 2001 hijackers," the bulletin warned. A picture of al-Rasheed was posted on the FBI Web site Tuesday night at http://www.fbi.gov.

The bureau has on occasion issued alerts over the last year, but most have involved new terrorist threats and not suspected associates of the hijackers whose activities have been exhaustively investigated over the last 11 months. For instance, in February the FBI issued a warning during the start of the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City asking law enforcement and the American public to be on the lookout for a Yemeni man and several associates who might be plotting a terrorist attack within days.

The FBI scrambled to put that warning out after information emerged that one or more people were involved. Officials said the intelligence, while deemed credible, was not specific about possible targets.

That alert identified one possible attacker as Fawaz Yahya al-Rabeei, a Yemeni citizen born in Saudi Arabia in 1979. It listed about a dozen associates of al-Rabeei, most from Saudi Arabia and Yemen.

They have a picture, and posters can use the link to check for updates.

What else have the terrorist-spawning and terrorist supporting
Saudis done since their attacks against the US on 911?

ANSWER: Telethons to fund more attacks on Western democracies.

How do they get away with this?

Saudi Minister: "Constantinople."

I've wondered about the one lady in the window holding a baby. Did you ever see a complete list of the names and ages of those who perished?

Saudi Arabia an ally of the united states? I don't think so, we have nothing culturally in common with these people except an interest in money and oil.

Does his last name indicate that he is in the royal family itself?
