Lingering Questions About 9/11
Straws in the Wind
After Zayn al-Abidin Husayn (Abu Zubaydah) was captured in March 2002, he named three Saudi princes as supporting al-Qaeda. John Kiriakou, a CIA operative serving in Pakistan at the time, said the agency believed Husayn. A very odd fact highlighted in The Eleventh Day is: all three princes died soon after, within one week. Ahmed bin Salman, 43, died from heart failure on 22 July 2002; Sultan bin Faisal bin Turki al-Saud, 41, died in a car crash as he drove from Jeddah to Riyadh for Salman’s funeral on 23 July; and Fahd bin Turki bin Saud al-Kabir, a 25-year-old prince, “died of thirst” while traveling in the deserts south of al-Ammaniya on 30 July.
