CNN: 9/11 terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui claims Saudi involvement

New York (CNN) -- From his cell in a maximum security prison, terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui is reviving old allegations and making new ones against al Qaeda and a handful of Saudi royals.

The 46-year old French national is claiming that Saudi Embassy officials were involved in a plot to shoot down Air Force One to assassinate Bill Clinton and/or Hillary Clinton during a trip to the United Kingdom.

Moussaoui says he met with a Secret Service agent several months ago and told him what he knew. CNN has reached out to the Secret Service for comment.

In two handwritten letters filed this month in federal court in New York and Oklahoma, Moussaoui claimed that, during the time he was taking flying lessons in Norman, Oklahoma, he met with a Saudi prince and princess and that she "gave me money," and provided funding for 9/11 hijackers.

Did those redacted 9/11 report pages detailing Saudi involvement ever get released?


PS - this is not 'creative speculation' - it is a news report from a credible agency.

1. There are now twenty co-sponsors of House Resolution 428, urging de-classification.

The 28 Pages that we paid for remain classified. There are now twenty co-sponsors of House Resolution 428, urging the President to release them. See:
http://28pages.org/2014/11/13/no-recess-for-the-28-pages-movement-hres-428-lands-three-new-cosponsors/

Consider how our Representatives who have read The 28 Pages present this issue, vs how your Cable News presents it:

At the September 9 2014 press conference, Rep. Lynch (D-MA), said (at 35:35 in the video below)

&quot The 28 pages) would definitely be instructive going forward, uh, for us to see the complicity, uh, behind the long-term planning, and uh, very deliberate steps taken to reach that day of 9/11. There was a great deal of planning beforehand, uh there were individuals that uh, I think, I think the 28 pages I have said are _stunning_ in their clarity, in terms of how demonstrative they are in showing the planning beforehand, the financing, and the eventual attacks on that day. So I think it would uh, it would be instructive to members of congress to understand uh, the SCOPE of this, the involvement of individuals, whether or not they were working in league with uh, with governments or not."

In response to a question about the sincerity of the Saudis' public position in favor of releasing the pages, he said (at about 41:00)
"I could not see, if I was part of the, you know, Saudi Royal family and government uh ((thoughtful pause)). I would NOT be calling for the disclosure of this information, let's put it that way. So I, I guess uh, yeah I suspect duplicity, let's put it that way."

Here's CNN (at 2:48):

Script-reader 1: "There are a number of allegations and accusations allegedly in those 28 Pages of documents that have so far uh, not been released. The person who put out the 9/11 Commission Report said 'Everything should be made public, it's been more than ten years.' The fear for some is that in fact it's going to renew accusations, allegations that, that simply aren't true, it's gonna eh, hurt the relationship between the U.S. and the Saudis... also Some People Say that the 28 Pages in fact, really show a much tighter relationship between the Saudi Royal Family, and George W. Bush, which many people knew at the time. So again, it keeps going."

Script-reader 2: "Until those are un-classified, those conspirath-- Conspiracy Theorists will need to come up with their own theories about what's in those pages."

incident and Moussaoui's allegations that a Saudi prince provided funding for 9-11 hijackers. Hell, no one can be expected to behave perfectly.
