Possible Saudi link to 9/11 probed

This just popped up in my e-mail as "Breaking News"...  When more info is available, I'll probably be writing about it.  In the meantime, this alert came from MSNBC and Newsweek, so you may want to check there for more info:'

The FBI is investigating whether the Saudi government -- using the bank account of the wife of a senior Saudi diplomat -- sent tens of thousands of dollars to two Saudi students in the United States who provided assistance to two of the September 11 hijackers, law enforcement sources told Newsweek.

From the sketchy information here, if there is a link, it's somewhat tangental, but finding any connection between the Saudi government and the September 11th attacks could create some radical changes in what we do from here.  The Saudi government has long been treated as a good friend of America, and it's known that the Bush family has several strong ties to the Royal family there.  At the same time, the majority of the hijackers were from Saudi Arabia, and there have been questions raised about the Saudi government's support of some of the more militant forms of Islam.

If this story pans out, it should be one worth watching - and it'll be interesting to see if there are attempts made to supress the story at all, especially if it touches on the ties between the Saudi government and the Bush family.

UPDATE: Newsweek has posted an article here on this story.
