Creative Speculation

"Now what happened later on, in the ‘90s, is the Saudis, who certainly had good intelligence on bin Laden, were not telling us that bin Laden had chosen a new enemy and that was the United States. Turki was not coming to us and saying: alright, listen, we got a problem with bin Laden. He’s coming after you. And also through the ‘90s, right up until 2001 and after 2001, Saudi Arabia was subsidizing the Taliban, indirectly subsidizing bin Laden. In one case I know about through the World Islamic League, the Saudi government sent money to bin Laden."


IT IS SAID THAT FROM MID-80S TO MID-90S, PRINCE TURKI MET PERSONALLY WITH BIN LADEN ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS – MOST RECENTLY ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE KOBAR TOWERS BOMBING. AND IT AGAIN HAS BEEN REPORTED THAT AT THAT MEETING, TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WERE GIVEN TO OSAMA BIN LADEN, EFFECTIVELY NOT TO ATTACK SAUDI INTERESTS.

I believe that, but I cannot confirm independently that that’s true. I mean I think you have to look at it from the Saudis’ point of view. They are buying protection money. And the fact is, they have not been victims of bin Laden. We have. We in the west.

I'm more compelled to believe the money laundering is a money trail worth pursuing with 9/11.

1988-92
"The BCCI scandal breaks. The bank is exposed as a massive criminal enterprise, having catered, during it's history, to some of the most notorious villains of the 20th century, including Saddam Hussein, Manuel Noriega, terrorist leaders Abu Nidal, and the Medellin drug cartel, as well as for being involved in money laundering and the Iran contra scandal and for pilfering investors' cash. Following BCCI's seizure in 1991, Khalid Bin Mahfouz (see above) was indicted in New York State on the grounds that he had withdrawn sizable investments in the bank just before it was seized. In the end, all the charges and claims were dropped after he made payments of $225 million into a Federal Reserve settlement account mainly for the benefit of depositors and creditors who had suffered losses and $245 million to BCCI's court-appointed Liquidators also for the benefit of depositors and creditors."
