Snimke, do kojih su došli BBC Panorama i Radio 4, dio su dokaza u višemilijarderskom sudskom postupku obitelji žrtava 11. rujna protiv Saudijske Arabije. One tvrde da su saudijski dužnosnici pomagali nekim od otmičara i da je Rijad bio povezan s napadima, što Saudijska Arabija kategorički odbacuje.

Omar al-Bayoumi već je godinama predmet tužbe obitelji žrtava ovog terorističkog napada ali je tvrdio da je u SAD-u bio samo student bez kontakta s teroristima koji su oteli avione ili saudijskim dužnosnicima. Međutim, tajne snimke koje je FBI dobio malo nakon napada, pokazuju da je igrao paintball i družio se s Anwarom al-Awlakijem, koji je kasnije postao jedan od vodećih ljudi Al-Quaide.

Recently unveiled footage has surfaced featuring Omar al-Bayoumi engaging in paintball activities with Anwar al-Awlaki. These never-before-seen videos came to light as part of the evidence compilation post-9/11. The visuals seemingly challenge Bayoumi's previous testimony where he denied any meetings with Awlaki. Additionally, investigators discovered a diagram suggesting Bayoumi’s possible awareness of the 9/11 attacks, although both Bayoumi and Saudi Arabia deny any knowledge or involvement.
