Saudi Arabian intelligence officials pushed the 9/11 Commission’s top staff to exonerate a key Saudi suspect, Omar al Bayoumi, who the FBI later concluded was a Saudi spy who provided significant support to the first two al Qaeda hijackers to enter the U.S.

That disclosure is contained in a long-withheld 9/11 Commission memorandum released to Florida Bulldog in late August by the National Archives.

The seven-page memo also revealed the cozy working relationship among participants in the Oct. 17, 2003 meeting, including 9/11 Commission Executive Director Philip Zelikow and at least two FBI agents, as well as members of the kingdom’s domestic intelligence agency, Mabahith.
