The FBI on Saturday made public the documents related to its investigation going on for Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States. The investigation was done for the allegations against the Saudi government who were suspected to be supporting the hijackers, following an executive order by President Joe Biden.
The 16 pages partially redacted document was made public by the FBI on the 20th anniversary of the attacks. The document contained every detail of the contacts between the hijackers and various Saudi officials. Even after so many details, these documents did not provide any thorough conclusion whether the government in Riyadh was involved in the attacks, which killed nearly 3,000 people.
Earlier this month, President Biden asked the Department of Justice to again check the documents from the FBI regarding the attacks to be reviewed and released. Families of the victims have been on this for years for more details about what the FBI found in its probe and are hoping that the documents would show Saudi Arabian authorities supported the plot.

Saudis deny having links with al-Qaeda
According to all the statements made by the embassy in the previous investigations, including the 9/11 Commission and the release of the so-called ’28 Pages, there was clearly no evidence that shows that the Saudi government or any of its officials were ever had any knowledge of the terrorist attack or were involved in any way.

She continued and a\indicating the Kingdom for their human rights record.
