FBI, Government Covering Up 9/11 Facts, Former Sen. Bob Graham Says
The man who co-chaired the 9/11 commission says Saudi Arabian government ties to terrorists are being hidden by U.S.
Florida’s former U.S. Sen. Bob Graham dropped a bombshell just in time for the 13th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Graham says the American government and the FBI are covering up connections between the Saudi Arabian government and Al Qaeda, according to FOX news. He also says those ties remain today with ISIS.
“They essentially are the creator of ISIS and the primary source of its financial support today,” Graham told FOX. “Saudi Arabia feels they can do almost anything and nothing is going to happen (to them) because they’re being protected, covered up by the U.S. government.”

President Barack Obama has called on Saudi Arabia to help in America’s fight against ISIS.
Graham told Channel 10 News there’s also a tie between a Sarasota family that disappeared just before the Sept. 11 attacks and some of the terrorists involved. The FBI has failed to release much information about that family, Graham said, adding that he’s worried a network may have been left in place in the Tampa Bay area.

Twenty-eight pages of the Congressional Investigation into the Sept. 11 attacks remain classified. Graham helped write that report, and says those pages show the connection between Saudi Arabia and the attacks that the U.S. government wants to keep quiet.
A Florida judge is presently reviewing whether 80,000 pages of documents kept by the FBI should be released. There’s also a movement in Congress to get the 28 pages of the investigation report Graham helped write released.
Graham served two terms as Florida’s governor before being elected to the U.S. Senate in 1987. During his last term in office, which ended in 2005, he served as the chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
