9/11: The Saudi Connection

Summary

Jane McMullen reports on fresh evidence concerning the possible involvement of agents working on behalf of the Saudi government in the 9/11 attacks, particularly concerning a man who helped the first two hijackers after they arrived in America. She uncovers never-before-broadcast video footage, hears from people close to the case who have never spoken before, and asks why significant evidence remained hidden for so long

Review

David Butcher

The received narrative on the 9/11 attacks is that they were planned and carried out by al-Qaeda terrorists. Yet 25 years on, evidence is emerging that the true picture may be more complicated. As Jane McMullen explores in this Panorama report, newly released documents suggest that agents working for Saudi Arabia might have played a role in assisting the plot. The Saudi government has denied any involvement, but a US judge has ruled that a case brought by victims’ families against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia can go ahead.

McMullen investigates the role of one man, Omar al-Bayoumi, who was questioned by British police, and asks why key evidence was hidden for so long.
