Revealed after 24 years, how UK was forced to free 9/11 ‘plotter’

Omar al-Bayoumi was arrested in Birmingham days after the atrocity. But police were never given crucial evidence by the FBI

Scotland Yard was forced to release an alleged Saudi intelligence officer who provided financial backing and support to the 9/11 hijackers after the FBI failed to share crucial evidence.

The Sunday Times can today reveal that counterterrorism officers who interviewed Omar al-Bayoumi after he was arrested in Birmingham — ten days after two aircraft crashed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York — were never given a potentially damning document and video linking him to the attacks.

Very strange revelation. Someone wanted this hidden.
