Tucker Carlson’s “9/11 Files” series delves into the official narrative of September 11th, challenging its credibility and revealing unsettling connections between U.S. intelligence agencies and the hijackers. The episode highlights claims that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) actively collaborated with or facilitated the actions of individuals later identified as perpetrators, a revelation that contradicts long-standing government assertions.
The series examines the CIA’s operations in the late 1990s, including its tracking of key figures like Khalid Al Mihdhar and Nawaf Al Hazmi, who would become central to the attacks. According to former FBI agent Mark Rossini, the CIA intercepted critical intelligence about these individuals’ movements, including their travel to the United States, yet allegedly withheld this information from the FBI. Rossini recounted how a CIA analyst refused to share details about the hijackers’ arrival in California, citing bureaucratic secrecy.
Documents and testimonies suggest the CIA’s involvement extended beyond mere surveillance. A recently released court filing alleges that visas issued to Al Mihdhar and others were part of a broader operation involving the Saudi government and the CIA. The text also references former CIA director John Brennan, who was stationed in Riyadh at the time, as a key figure in these arrangements.
The narrative further explores how the CIA leveraged Saudi intelligence operatives, including Omar Al Bayoumi, to monitor and assist the hijackers within the U.S. Al Bayoumi, described as a Saudi embassy employee, allegedly helped the attackers settle in San Diego, providing them with housing, bank accounts, and introductions to radical networks.
The article also critiques the 9/11 Commission’s findings, suggesting they were deliberately limited by the CIA and White House officials. It references internal FBI challenges, such as outdated technology and restricted access to critical data, which may have hindered investigations. Additionally, it notes the redaction of key documents related to the hijackers’ activities in California, raising questions about transparency.
The series concludes with calls for a new investigation into 9/11, arguing that the official account remains incomplete and potentially misleading. The episode sets the stage for further episodes exploring these allegations in greater detail.
