The Free Press Journal|June 23, 2024
A 25-year-old video has come to light of a man identified by the FBI as a Saudi intelligence agent filming locations in the centre of Washington three months before Al-Qaida decided to carry out the 9/11 attacks.
Saudi man filmed locations before 9/11

The footage, shot in the summer of 1999 and in the possession of the FBI, was unsealed in a court action by families of the victims of 9/11, who claim that Saudi Arabia's government was complicit in the event, which the country's rulers deny. It was obtained by CBS and shown on the 60 Minutes programme.

The video includes commentary from the man, Omar al-Bayoumi, about various locations in the city, including the Washington monument and the entry points and security arrangements of the US Capitol building, and referring at one point to a "plan".
