What was said
"Almost all the hijackers, was it 16 or 17 of the hijackers came from Saudi Arabia, right? And we know that the Saudi ambassador to the United States at the time, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, Al Saud, his wife transferred $50,000 from her personal bank account to the hijackers."
John Kiriakou, former CIA counterterrorism officer, revealed that the wife of Saudi Ambassador Prince Bandar personally wired $50,000 to the 9/11 hijackers from her bank account. He stated that after CIA captured Abu Zubaydah and found Saudi princes' cell phone numbers in his diary, three princes died under mysterious circumstances before U.S. interrogation. This supports long-standing suspicions of Saudi government involvement that were never fully investigated.
