The CIA in a memo has reportedly found 'incontrovertible evidence' that Saudi government officials helped the hijackers both financially and logistically carry out the 9/11 attacks.

The findings, if confirmed, would back up open-source reporting showing the hijackers had ties to several Saudi officials and agents while they were preparing for their attacks inside the United States.

According to the New York Post, after the 9/11 attacks, Americans were told al-Qaeda acted alone, with no state sponsors.

The White House never let the people see an entire section of Congress' investigative report on 9/11 dealing with 'specific sources of foreign support' for the 19 hijackers, 15 of whom were Saudi nationals.

 

President Bush inexplicably censored 28 full pages of the 800-page report. Some of the text is not just blacked-out there are some critical-yet-missing middle sections.

A pair of lawmakers who recently read the redacted portion said that they are 'absolutely shocked' at the level of foreign state involvement in the attacks.

Representatives Walter Jones (R-NC) and Stephen Lynch (D-Mass) can't reveal the nation identified by it without violating federal law.

So they have proposed Congress pass a resolution asking President Barack Obama to declassify the entire 2002 report, Joint Inquiry Into Intelligence Community Activities Before and After the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001, the report added.
