Revealing important evidence about the 9/11 terrorist attack

For more than two decades, the U.S. position has been that al-Qaeda unilaterally carried out the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. However, a newly released video raises questions about the possibility that the hijackers received support from the Saudi Arabian government.

A federal court recently unsealed a video that was subsequently released on CBS News' 60 Minutes program on June 20.

Key evidence revealed about the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Omar al-Bayoumi, whom the FBI considers a Saudi Arabian intelligence agent linked to the two hijackers on September 11, appeared in the video.

Richard Lambert, a former FBI agent who conducted the preliminary investigation into the 9/11 attacks, said the video was made in 1999, within a 90-day period from when senior al-Qaeda members planned and selected targets for the attacks.

"This is another very large brick in the enormous wall of evidence showing that at the time the Saudi Arabian government was complicit in the 9/11 attacks," Lambert said.

Bayoumi filmed the video, showing the architecture, entrances and exits, and security checkpoints of the U.S. Capitol building. He also filmed the Washington Monument and said, "I'll be there soon and have more details on what's there." Bayoumi also mentioned there's an airport near the filming location. Lambert said knowing the relative positions of the Washington Monument to other landmarks in Washington, D.C., could help with better targeting.

FBI investigators believe the hijackers of Flight 93, which crashed in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, initially intended to target Capitol Hill. Observers say Bayoumi's video of the Capitol may have been part of the attack plan. Bayoumi himself is believed to have mentioned the word "plan" in the video.

British police found the video when they searched Bayoumi's apartment in England a few days after the 9/11 attacks. Police also recovered a notebook containing what they believed to be the phone numbers of several high-ranking Saudi Arabian government officials at the time.

Another former FBI agent, Ken Williams, believes Bayoumi's video is crucial evidence. The question now is why it took over 20 years for this video to be released, even though British police handed it over to the FBI shortly after seizure. "If it was overlooked, that's a shame. But if it wasn't, I have to ask what the video was used for?" Williams said.

The Saudi Arabian government and Bayoumi deny all allegations that they were involved in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The FBI declined to comment on the video.
