President Obama is due to visit Saudi Arabia in 10 days. His visit comes at a time of deep suspicion between the two allies. The United States also doubts the commitment of the Saudis to fight violent Islamic extremism.
Following is a summary from CBS’ 60 minutes report on “28 pages” that holds clue to the Saudi connection and an interview with Bob Graham, who at the time was chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and co-chair of the bipartisan joint congressional inquiry into intelligence failures surrounding the attacks.
White House and intelligence officials are reviewing whether to declassify one of the country’s most sensitive documents — known as the “28 pages.” They have to do with 9/11 and the possible existence of a Saudi support network for the hijackers while they were in the U.S, reports CBS News.
The 28 pages have been locked away in a secret vault since the 9/11 attacks and only few people have ever seen them.
