Saudi Arabia Threatens to Dump $750 Billion in US Assets if Congress Passes ‘9/11 Bill’


Saudi Arabia is threatening to sell off $750 billion if their protections from the The Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act are revoked.

From RT.com:

The bill introduced in the Senate would waiver the immunity for cases involving terrorist attacks that kill US citizens on US soil. Introduced by Republican Senator John Cornyn and Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer, it managed to overcome partisan divisions in the US legislation and passed without dissent through the Judiciary Committee in January.

“As our nation confronts new and expanding terror networks that are targeting our citizens, stopping the funding source for terrorists becomes even more important,” Senator Cornyn said last month.

Possible links between the perpetrators of the attack and Saudi Arabia may be hiding in 28 classified pages of the 2002 congressional report on 9/11, which allegedly describe how Saudi Arabian nationals with links to the government financially assisted the 19 hijackers who flew airplanes into World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Many people, including the co-author of the redacted pages, former Florida Senator Bob Graham, have been campaigning for years to make them public.

Former Florida Senator Bob Graham has been among many leaders who wish to remove protections from the 1976 Act. He is not alone in the belief that those redacted pages may embarrass some members or associates of the Saudi family. Truth and Action reported on those pages recently and it seems for now this issue still has legs.

What could possibly be so bad that our FBI and CIA feel the need to suppress these documents?
