Previously unpublished documents about the Saudi evacuation after 9/11.
The Bush-Saudi Files
Previously unpublished documents about the Saudi evacuation after 9/11.

Even though the White House asserted that flights evacuating the Saudis from the United States just after 9/11 never took place, a list drawn up by the Saudi embassy and obtained by Craig Unger shows the passengers on the White House-sanctioned flight out of Lexington, Kentucky, en route to London on September 15.

First on the list, which included a number of high-ranking Saudi royals, is Prince Ahmed bin Salman, who flight attendants remember boarding the lavishly customized Boeing 727, which boasted a master bedroom suite, a media and entertainment center, and a master bath with shower, a vanity area, a gold plated sink, and a bidet. A major figure in horse racing, Prince Ahmed was best known as the owner of the Kentucky Derby winner War Emblem, but he allegedly had ties to al-Qaeda and advance knowledge of the 9/11 attacks. In 2002, Prince Ahmed died suddenly of a heart attack at the age of 43. (view the passenger list)

Passenger lists from this and other post-9/11 Saudi evacuation flights appear on the right.

Terrorist's Name On Manifest Raises Questions About Saudi Flights After 9/11

List and testimony indicates FBI may have allowed alleged hijacker's kin to leave U.S. with son of Saudi defense minister without questioning them.

by Tom Flocco

WASHINGTON - April 4, 2004 -- Posted 07:45 ET -- TomFlocco.com -- A copy of a previously unpublished manifest, obtained late Thursday night and dated September 15, 2001, provides evidence of a private Boeing-727 Saudi flight from Lexington, Kentucky to London. But the names on the manifest raise serious questions about FBI policies and procedures related to witness identification, criminal investigations and obstruction of justice.

Ahmad A. M. Alhazmi, 20, (Saudi passport no. B805019) is listed on the manifest with Prince Sultan bin Fahad bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, 19, (Saudi passport no. 406 A), son of Saudi defense minister Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdulaziz.

The name Alhazmi and its ties to laundered Riggs Bank cashiers checks may become a subject of interest when National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice testifies later this week--especially since young Ahmad Alhazmi has the same last name as Nawaf Alhazmi, one of the terrorists identified as an alleged hijacker of American Airlines flight 77.

The White House had originally asserted that flights evacuating Saudis from the United States after 9/11 never existed, but author Craig Unger--who has written a book about clandestine Bush-Saudi relationships--obtained flight manifest lists which were drawn up by the Saudi embassy.

Besides the Alhazmi list, three other manifests confirm a total of four separate Saudi flights leaving the United States on September 15, 16, 22 and 24, 2001, after the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks. Unger, author of "House of Bush / House of Saud: The Secret Relationship Between the World's Two Most Powerful Dynasties," has now posted all four manifests online.

Alhazmi's associates received continued payments of $3,500. per month from Princess Haifa Al-Faisal, wife of Saudi Crown Prince Bandar bin Sultan who is Ambassador to the United States, according to sources familiar with the financial evidence. (Newsweek, 11-22-2002)

1. Gee... Then why do I spacifically remember *'s spokes people
Telling the media that they were rounded up and flow out of the cpontry for their own protection? This was all over the news in the days after 911?

3. I recall hearing about this, too ...
... at first they did deny it. When it quickly became obvious that the flights actually did take place, someone came up with the "for their own protection" excuse.

It was an outrage then. It is an outrage now.

Why can't Bu$hCo ever tell the truth in the first place?

2. Why Bush & Cheney Won't Testify Under Oath..
They offered up Condi , made a "corporate boardroom" style deal with the 9-11 commission & they intend to lie to the panel.

Perhaps a Grand Jury is in order afterall.
How and Who can bring this Bush/Cheney coverup to a Grand Jury?
This is just one of many scandals brewing.
Haiti is another one coming to a rapid boil on the back burner.

Bush is screwed.
