Miami Herald Sep. 05, 2004:
WASHINGTON - Two of the Sept. 11, 2001, hijackers had a support
network in the United States that included agents of the Saudi
government, and the Bush administration and FBI blocked a
congressional investigation into that relationship, Sen. Bob Graham
wrote in a book to be released Tuesday.
The discovery of the financial backing of the two hijackers ''would
draw a direct line between the terrorists and the government of Saudi
Arabia, and trigger an attempted coverup by the Bush administration,''
the Florida Democrat wrote.
And in Graham's book, Intelligence Matters, obtained by The Herald
Saturday, he makes clear that some details of that financial support
from Saudi Arabia were in the 27 pages of the congressional inquiry's
final report that were blocked from release by the administration,
despite the pleas of leaders of both parties on the House and Senate
intelligence committees.

He oversaw the Sept. 11 investigation on Capitol Hill with Rep. Porter
Goss, nominated last month to be the next CIA director. According to
Graham, the FBI and the White House blocked efforts to investigate the
extent of official Saudi connections to two hijackers.
Graham wrote that the staff of the congressional inquiry concluded
that two Saudis in the San Diego area, Omar al-Bayoumi and Osama
Bassan, who gave significant financial support to two hijackers, were
working for the Saudi government.
Al-Bayoumi received a monthly allowance from a contractor for Saudi
Civil Aviation that jumped from $465 to $3,700 in March 2000, after he
helped Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhdar -- two of the Sept. 11
hijackers -- find apartments and make contacts in San Diego, just
before they began pilot training.
When the staff tried to conduct interviews in that investigation, and
with an FBI informant, Abdussattar Shaikh, who also helped the
eventual hijackers, they were blocked by the FBI and the
administration, Graham wrote.
The administration and CIA also insisted that the details about the
Saudi support network that benefited two hijackers be left out of the
final congressional report, Graham complained.
