It looks like there was another Saudi involved in the 9-11 attacks, who's now imprisoned in Gitmo. From the AP/Wash. Times:
A Saudi accused of arranging financing for the September 11 terrorist-plot participants told a hearing he got money transfers from two hijackers inside the United States just hours before the attacks, according to a transcript the Pentagon released yesterday.Let's hope they keep him there, because it's quite likely he had very deep connections with the other hijackers, and he probably knows a lot more than he's letting in on.
But Mustafa Ahmad al-Hawsawi, who was based in the United Arab Emirates on September 11, 2001, denied that he was a member of al Qaeda or that he sent money to the hijackers.
He is one of 14 "high-value" detainees who were transferred to the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, last September after being held in secret CIA prisons abroad. The transcript of his Guantanamo hearing contained no reference to his detention; a portion in which he explained how he was captured in Pakistan in 2003 was censored by the Defense Department.
