Bush's bin Laden link thwarted FBI probe: Report

A BBC programme aired on Tuesday made a
startling revelation that Federal Bureau of
Investigation agents probing relatives of the
Saudi-born terrorist Osama bin Laden were told to
go slow soon after George W Bush became the
president of the United States.

The BBC's Newsnight said Bush at one point had a
number of connections with Saudi Arabia's prominent bin Laden family.

The programme hinted that US interests in the huge Saudi oil reserves
blunted the probe into the terrorist connections of several individuals.

Newsnight quoting from several purportedly secret documents said the
FBI probe into the September 11 terror attacks unearthed terrorist links
of at least two member of the bin Laden family.

The programme said it had obtained evidence that the FBI was on the trail
of bin Laden family members living in United States before, as well as
after, the terrorist attacks.

Newsnight said Bush made his first million 20 years ago with an oil
company partly funded by the chief US representative of Salem Bin
Laden, Osama's brother.

The programme also revealed that Bush and his father received fees from
Carlyle Corporation -- a little known company that became one of
America's largest defence contractors -- in which the bin Ladens held a
stake, which was sold off after the September 11 terror attacks.

Could this be true or are the BBC folks just making things up?
