Why was the alleged Saudi spy Omar Al-Bayoumi never asked about a plane descent diagram and a so called Washington “casing” video found at his Birmingham home? This final episode concludes by asking “Was the War on Terror based on a mistake? “ https://t.co/7hAaqPyerB

In the nearly 25 years since 9/11, we have extradited many innocent people to the US, but have failed to extradite someone who deserved to be. We need to know why and to make sure we learn the right lessons to prevent future atrocities.

In the aftermath of 9/11, the Metropolitan Police were forced to release Omar al-Bayoumi — believed to be a Saudi intelligence agent, accused of supporting the hijackers — because the FBI withheld evidence. My Urgent Question in the @HouseofCommons earlier today 👇🏻

@stellacreasy • Urgent question from @DavidDavisMP: "To ask @ShabanaMahmood if she will make a statement on the 2001 arrest of Saudi national, Omar al-Bayoumi, and the failure to extradite Mr al-Bayoumi for his alleged involvement in the September 11th terror attacks."

He concluded: “Plaintiffs’ claims will proceed to decision on their merits.” “KSA’s renewed Motion to Dismiss for lack of jurisdiction under JASTA is DENIED.” The JASTA legislation means Saudi Arabia cannot claim sovereign immunity from being sued .

The families allege that the Kingdom provided material support and resources to Al Qaida facilitating the 911 hijacker’s entry, settlement and preparations in the USA and so bears civil liability for the attacks. In effect a Saudi state support network aided the terrorists. 2/4
