WASHINGTON — A House-Senate Joint Intelligence Committee report suggests evidence indicates the Saudi Arabian government funneled money to two of the September 11 hijackers through two Saudi Students. There is some evidence that the Saudi students received a payment through Princess Haifa Al-Faisal, wife of Saudi ambassador to the United States, according to the report. But sources said there is no conclusive evidence the Saudi government intentionally funded terrorist activities against the United States.
A U.S. government official said it is not unusual for wealthy Saudi families to send money to less affluent Saudi students. In addition, the official said, that money often is sent through the Saudi Embassy.
Adel Al-Jubeir, a foreign policy adviser to Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah, told CNN that Princess Haifa Al-Faisal, wife of Saudi Ambassador, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, is “a very generous woman” who supports many charitable causes.
