VILNIUS, Lithuania -- Human rights activists said Thursday that a Saudi citizen was held at an alleged secret CIA detention site in Lithuania and urged authorities to re-open an investigation into possible rendition in the Baltic state.

Sarah Fulton, a lawyer for the rights watchdog Redress, said Mustafa al-Hawsawi, currently being held in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, was secretly brought to Lithuania in March 2004 and held there until September 2006.

Al-Hawsawi is now facing trial, along with four other suspects, for alleged involvement in the Sept. 11 attacks.

Activists said the new information came to light after a careful study of secret flights to and from Lithuania and other publicly available sources.

Osama bin Laden--

was the founder of al-Qaeda, the Sunni militant Islamist organization that claimed responsibility for the September 11 attacks on the United States, along with numerous other mass-casualty attacks against civilian and military targets.[2][3][4] He was a Saudi Arabian, a member of the wealthy bin Laden family, and an ethnic Yemeni Kindite.[5]

So we have a Saudi citizen being questioned about 9/11, a plot masterminded by a Saudi who is related to a wealthy Saudi ruling family.

Anyone want to remind me of why we invaded Iraq?
