Bush took FBI agents off Laden family trail

BY RASHMEE Z AHMED TIMES NEWS NETWORK

LONDON: America was itself to blame for the
events of September 11 because the US
administration was using "kid gloves" in
tracking down Osama bin Laden and "other fanatics
linked to Saudi Arabia", a special BBC investigation
has alleged in a damning indictment of the two
presidents Bush and American foreign policy.

The report, which the BBC claimed was based on a
secret FBI document, numbered 199I WF213589
and emanating out of the FBI’s Washington field
office, alleged that the cynicism of the American
establishment and "connections between the CIA
and Saudi Arabia and the Bush men and bin
Ladens" may have been the real cause of the deaths
of thousands in the World Trade Centre attacks.

The investigation, which featured in the BBC’s
leading current affairs programme, Newsnight, said
the FBI was told to "back off" investigating one of
Osama bin Laden’s brothers, Abdullah, who was
linked to "the Saudi-funded World Association of
Muslim Youth (WAMY), a suspected terrorist
organisation," whose accounts have still not frozen
by the US treasury despite "being banned by
Pakistan some weeks ago and India claiming it was
linked to an organisation involved in bombing in
Kashmir".

Newsnight said there was a long history of
"shadowy" American connections with Saudi Arabia,
not least the two presidents Bush’s "business
dealings" with the bin Ladens and another more
insidious link revealed by the former head of the
American visa section in Jeddah.
