Before the recent visit to Saudi Arabia by the United States President Barack Obama, the New York Times published a report about the role of Riyadh, including some of Saudi officials and princes, in terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, causing tensions to escalate in relations between the two countries. Concurrence of this report with a discussion at the US Congress about the contents of 28 pages of a detailed report on the 9/11, which had so far remained confidential and its release had been prevented by the US government, poured fuel on those tensions. What stirred wrath of Riyadh leaders was the contents of the New York Times’ report and later remarks by some members of the Congress, including Bob Graham, a former senator, who has played an axial role in the 9/11 investigations.
