December 7, 2002 Saudi official says Jews 'were behind' 9/11 By David R. Sands THE WASHINGTON TIMES A senior Saudi Arabian security official told an Arabic newspaper late last month he believed Jews masterminded the September 11 terrorist attacks, a revelation that caps a rocky week in which Saudi efforts in the global war on terrorism have been sharply questioned. In a newly released English transcript of the interview, given to the Kuwaiti daily Al Siyasa, Saudi Interior Minister Prince Nayef ibn Abdul AI said the "Zionist-controlled media" had used the attacks to drive a wedge between Washington and Riyadh. "We put big question marks and ask who committed the events of September 11 and who benefited from them," Prince Nayef said. "I think [the Jews] were behind these events." The Saudi government earlier this week stepped up an already aggressive public relations campaign to shore up its image as an ally in the U.S.-led war on terrorism, battling continued criticism in Congress and new reports that Saudi money was being used to finance radical Islamic movements. Top Saudi officials have not commented on the interior minister's remarks, but the text of the lengthy interview was displayed on a Web site (www.ain-al-yaqeen.com) that provides official policy pronouncements and press interviews by top government officials. The Saudi government has never officially declared al Qaeda responsible for the September 11 strikes and has said the Saudi nationals involved in the attacks were purposely drafted to embarrass the government. The Saudi royal family argues that it is the main target of Osama bin Laden and his al Qaeda terrorist network, which are determined to drive U.S. and other Western forces from the country housing many of Islam's holiest sites.
