Newsweek reports that a Congressional investigation has revealed that for almost two years, a monthly sum of $3,500 has been transferred from a bank account of the Saudi Arabian Ambassador's wife in Washington to two foreign students who helped the Sept. 11 hijackers. Dr. Uzi Arad, ex-chief of the Investigative Division in the Mossad, told Arutz-7 today, "It's hard to believe that there was a direct conspiracy between Saudi leaders and the Sep. 11 plot, as this would be against their own interests. On the other hand, you can't say that there were no curious and dangerous connections between them. Much is still not known, and there are indications that Saudi groups and persons had much more involvement in the attacks and in extremist terrorism than was assumed."



Dr. Arad says that there are conflicting interests at play in Washington on this matter, "but I believe that sooner or later, the truth of this matter and the extent of Saudi involvement will be revealed; now is apparently not yet the time."
