this is cnn newsroom. as people around the world remember the victims of september 11th, we re seeing the first of what could be several documents released by the fbi related to its investigation of those terror attacks. this follows an executive order by u.s. president joe biden. the document still contains significant redactions but here s a bit of what we re learning. it points to alleged logistical support provided to at least two of the hijackers by a saudi counselor official and a suspected saudi intelligent agent based on multiple connections and witness testimony that that agent is described as a saudi student in los angeles at the time. the document describes him as deeply involved in providing travel assistance, lodging and financing to help the two hijackers. the saudi embassy in washington, d.c., said wednesday it welcomes the release of documents but any allegation that saudi arabia is comm c complicit in the september 11th attacks is false. the release ....
