#1 The FBI knew exactly who and what this turd did. Long past time for a CIA wet team visit.

Authorities suspected that al-Jarrah, whose whereabouts are currently unknown, instructed two people to assist Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar settle in the US ahead of the attacks.

#2 Could there be a "new" FBI using the same dirty tricks as the "old" FBI, but in service of the country?

#3 Seem to remember something about the Saudi ambassador Prince Bandar's wife checks going to one the leading hijackers, as well as, Bandar's phone numbers showing up in captured Al Qaeda leaders' phone lists.

#5 ^ til 2017:
The Saudi Authorities arrested Prince Bandar bin Sultan as a part of the anti-corruption” purge that was launched by Saudi Arabia King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and his Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, according to a report of the Middle East Eye (MEE) online news portal.

Prince Bandar is a former Saudi ambassador to the US, and he is known to be a friend of former US President George W Bush, and former Syrian president Hafez Assad. Prince Bandar became really famous in 2011 when he was tasked with leading the Saudi efforts to fight Syria president Bashar al-Assad.

Prince Bandar quickly became known as “the engineer of the Syria war” after he organized everything about the war, from the political opposition to armed groups in Syria. According to many reports the Prince was behind shipping tons of weapons and thousands of Jihadists from all over the world to feed the war against the Syrian government.

“The engineer of the Syrian war” went to great length while trying to remove Bashar al-Assad, he was accused of founding the al-Nusra Front (al-Qaeda branch in Syria) and even ISIS later. The prince even offered Russia a bribe to stop supporting Assad back in 2013.

Prince Bandar is the brother of Salman bin Sultan Al Saud who ordered the Free Syrian Army to attack the Syrian capital Damascus back in 2013 according to leaked NSA document.

Because of his crooked ways that have no limits and after ISIS raise in 2014, Prince Bandar was removed from his position as the main planner of the battle against Assad. Bandar was replaced by Prince Muhammad bin Nayef and Prince Mohammad bin Salman himself.

The two reportedly suspended many of the operations, which were planned by Bandar, and engaged in a direct dialogue with Russia in what appears to be an effort to hide Saudi Arabia’s role in supporting terrorist groups in Syria.

If Saudi officials confirm the arrest of Prince Bandar, it could be a sign that the new Saudi leadership led by the Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman is willing to make radical changes in the Saudi Arabia polices regarding Syria. Or, it’s just another sign of the sky-high tensions within the Saudi leadership.

#6 I can't frickin' read the Daily Mail. It's too hard to find the article in the midst of all the ads. All that blinking gives me a headache.

I'm generally opposed to death squads - slippery slope, and all that - but I'm willing to entertain arguments. Everything is a situation. Sometimes you have to ask yourself WWWBDD - What Would Wild Bill Donovan Do?

Pity the CIA isn't on our side.

#8  I can't frickin' read the Daily Mail.

I find it easier if I click on the reader view, Abu Uluque, which removes the ads and does not automatically start the videos in the midst of the text.

Your Global Research link is very useful, Frank G.

#10 Use Ad-Blocker Plus, Bobby (I'm on FF). They still pop that "Top Videos of the day" crap up, but all it takes is a click to send away.

#11 I use Safari on an iPad, Bobby, so it may be different if you use a different browser.

Up at the top of the page next to the URL/address bar I see AA. Clicking on that yields a drop down menu offering to change the text size, hide the toolbar, request the desktop website (presumably I’m in mobile mode), and website settings. It also offers Show Reader View. Website Settings also offers the option to Show Reader Automatically, but that is a more advanced stage of the proceedings — I use it for the Jerusalem Post, because for some reason that site is crash-prone for me.

#13 I recommend Brave - can be set to block ads, cookies, fingerprinting... not stupid opinions however...

BTW_ I have no problem with viewing the Mail in Brave, other than the "brainless bimbos of the day" in the right hand column

They were my original source for stories posted here, but so many stories went behind the pay wall that I turned to the Jerusalem Post. When that got buggy for me, I turned to Ynet. Then The Times of Israel appeared. Now that and the Jerusalem Post in Reader view are my go-to sites.
