Newly Unsealed Video Raises Questions About Saudi Arabia's Role in 9/11

A newly unsealed video from 1999 shows Omar al-Bayoumi, identified by the FBI as a Saudi intelligence agent, filming various key locations in Washington, D.C., raising questions about Saudi Arabia's involvement in the 9/11 attacks. The footage, obtained by CBS and shown on 60 Minutes, includes detailed recordings of the U.S. Capitol's security and entry points, and comments that suggest pre-operational surveillance for the attacks. Families of 9/11 victims are now suing Saudi Arabia, claiming the video is part of a larger body of evidence implicating the Saudi government in providing crucial assistance to the hijackers. Al-Bayoumi, linked to two hijackers, Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar, has been a contentious figure, with past FBI reports suggesting he may have had prior knowledge of the attacks. Saudi authorities have consistently denied any involvement, and the Kingdom's lawyers are seeking to dismiss the case.
