9/11 Terrorist Claims Saudis Had Role In 2001 WTC Attack

A convicted 9/11 terrorist has recently made claims that members of the Saudi Embassy attempted to kill the Clintons in the 1990's, when Bill Clinton held presidential office. The terrorist also claimed that the Saudi government had a role in the 2001 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York City. 

Zacarias Moussaoui, who is currently serving a life sentence for his involvement in 9/11, wrote in two letters that officials with the Saudi Embassy were plotting to shoot down President Clinton's Air Force One, carrying both the Commander-in-Chief and the First Lady, when it was en route to the United Kingdom in the 1990's.

Moussaoui, who suffers from mental illness, added that while he was taking flying lessons in Oklahoma pre-9/11, a Saudi Prince and Princess provided the terrorist and other 9/11 hijackers with money to fund their flying lessons. 

Despite Moussaoui's claims, the Saudi government has continued to deny any involvement in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York City.

The terrorist has previously been described as the "20th hijacker" who failed to make it on one of the four planes involved in the 2001 terrorism act that killed over 3,000 innocent people.

Lawyers for the Saudi Arabian government have continued to deny any involvement in the terrorist attack, with attorneys saying in a court document: "The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia had no role in the attacks of September 11, 2001."

Due to Moussaoui's mental health issues, Carl Tobias, a professor at the University of Richmond School of Law, says there would still be issues with the terrorist's credibility.

"Even if he somehow got to the point where he could testify, there would be a credibility issue," Tobias said.
