Did the FBI bury evidence of alleged Saudi agent’s role in 9/11?

Video obtained by the BBC shows Omar al‑Bayoumi, a central figure in a lawsuit filed by 9/11 families, had ties to Saudi officials and participated in paintballing with one of al‑Qaeda's early leaders. The footage undermines Bayoumi’s 25‑year denial that he was an extremist or a Saudi spy. The material forms part of the litigation against Saudi Arabia, which claims the kingdom was complicit and alleges that Bayoumi assisted two of the hijackers. Bayoumi and Saudi officials did not respond to the BBC’s request for comment, and the FBI also declined to comment.
