Saudi government officials arrived in the U.S. nearly three years before the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks to reportedly serve as an 'advance team' for hijackers, according to newly declassified reports.
The revelations could provide a basis for additional FBI and U.S. intelligence investigations into whether the Saudi Arabian government was directly involved in organizing the attacks.
Video and corresponding documents, journalist Catherine Herridge reports, prove that Saudi government employees came to the U.S. in 1998 to allegedly help lay the groundwork for the hijackers.
A person familiar with the investigation told the Daily Mail that the FBI is aware of the report and is on the lookout for any documents related to the latest revelations.
Assistant Director of the FBI's Office of Congressional Affairs Marshall Yates is already leading the charge to review any materials related to the investigation into the terrorist attacks, an FBI official confirmed.
