The Federal Bureau of Investigation has released a long-secret memo detailing evidence and allegations of 9/11 Saudi involvement.
The FBI, complying with POTUS Executive Order, has made public a previously classified April 4, 2016 “review and analysis” report about Operation Encore, a highly sensitive investigation of possible Saudi complicity in the 9/11 terrorist attack.
The family members of the victims from the September 11 attacks who are suing the kingdom of Saudi Arabia in federal court in New York may have precipitated the release of a key FBI report.
This is a summary and analysis of the agency’s long-running investigation into the activities of two of the September 11 hijackers, Saudi nationals, Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi.
Fifteen of the nineteen hijackers were Saudi citizens. The significantly redacted 16-page document details “significant logistic support” that two of the Saudi hijackers received in the U.S. The document related to a November 2015 interview of an individual seeking U.S. citizenship. Two were reportedly Saudi government employees.
The Vault is our new FOIA Library, containing 6,700 documents and other media that have been scanned from paper into digital copies so you can read them in the comfort of your home or office.
Included here are many new FBI files that have been released to the public but never added to this website; dozens of records previously posted on our site but removed as requests diminished; files from our previous FOIA Library, and new, previously unreleased files.
The Vault includes several new tools and resources for your convenience:
- Searching for Topics: You can browse or search for specific topics or persons (like Al Capone or Marilyn Monroe) by viewing our alphabetical listing, by using the search tool in the upper right of this site, or by checking the different category lists that can be found in the menu on the right side of this page. In the search results, click on the folder to see all of the files for that particular topic.
- Searching for Key Words: Thanks to new technology we have developed, you can now search for key words or phrases within some individual files. You can search across all of our electronic files by using the search tool in the upper right of this site, or you can search for key words within a specific document by typing in terms in the search box in the upper right hand of the file after it has been opened and loaded. Note: since many of the files include handwritten notes or are not always in optimal condition due to age, this search feature does not always work perfectly.
- Viewing the Files: We are now using an open source web document viewer, so you no longer need your own file software to view our records. When you click on a file, it loads in a reader that enables you to view one or two pages at a time, search for key words, shrink or enlarge the size of the text, use different scroll features, and more. In many cases, the quality and clarity of the individual files has also been improved.
- Requesting a Status Update: Use our new Check the Status of Your FOI/PA Request tool to determine where your request stands in our process. Status information is updated weekly. Note: You need your FOI/PA request number to use this feature.
