9/11 inquiry pages to be released

July 16, 2016 01:28 am | Updated 01:28 am IST - WASHINGTON:

The government is preparing to release a once-classified chapter of a congressional report about the attacks of September 11, 2001, that questions whether Saudi nationals who helped the hijackers with things like finding apartments and opening bank accounts knew what they were planning.

Later investigations found no evidence that the Saudi government or senior Saudi officials knowingly supported those who orchestrated the attacks. But lawmakers and relatives of victims, who don’t believe all Saudi links to the attackers were thoroughly investigated, pushed for more than 13 years to get the pages released.
