- American lawyers working for the families of victims from September 11, 2000 claim the same people who funded the twin towers attack also funded the Bali bombers.
Allan Gerson is suing Saudi charities, banks and members of the royal family for two trillion dollars for allegedly financing the September 11 attacks. On Foreign Correspondent, he tells Evan Williams he has evidence that money went from Saudi charities, via terrorist cells in Europe, to the Jemaah Islamiah group in South-East Asia.
“We have seen evidence of money that went from Saudi sources through the medium of various entities in Europe to support terrorist cells there that also that also not only ended up in Bali but ended up in Bali because of the active intervention of entities with close ties to the Saudis” said Gerson.
However Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Abdullah ibn Abdul-aziz al-Saud, who is effectively the country’s ruler, says he’s not aware of any funds going to terrorist groups.
In his first interview with Australian TV, the Crown Prince said, “We are very serious about stopping any funds going to any terrorist group.”
And on the issue of war with Iraq: “My regards to the Australian people and the Australian government, but I wish the government would calm down about these things.”
Saudi Arabia’s ruling Royal Family now finds itself caught between Iraq and a hard place.
On one side, America’s “Coalition of the Willing”, including potentially Australia, stands poised to invade Iraq from bases in Saudi and the Arab Gulf States.
On the other, an increasingly destabilised Saudi community - now more willing to heed the call of Islamic fundamentalists, who despise the presence of Americans on their soil, and are prepared to bank-roll the Al-Qaeda terrorist network in a holy war against the West.
Evan Willams gains rare access to the closed kingdom, where he finds a country of frustrated young people - sixty percent are under the age of 25 - who are increasingly alienated both by some in the royal family and perceived American aggression against Muslim countries.

I love how you used wrong translation of the reader to make it appear that its anti-non muslim
The translated subtitles are misleadddding af
@ajchubby you mean taqiyah? That debunked myth used by trolls to discredit anything muslims say?
The only time taqiya is allowed is when you are facing death and have to renounce your faith. Atleast that's what Sunnis Islam (mainstream islam practised by 1.6 billion people) teaches.
If you lie to save yourself you don't get a sin for what you say in that moment.
SHIA muslims from *IRAN* hold a different belief and their differences with mainstream Sunnis Islam who is like comparing Catholics and protestants.
Research before you spew ignorant thing that you have no idea about

Innocent people dying is always bad
And since 911 a million Iraqis alone have died in a illegal invasion... Wheres the documentary linking ever aspect of that invasion. And interview every single person linked directly or indirectly to that invasion?
what is wrong with killing ISIS and extremists?
@@whocares3132 well initial invasion of iraq in 2003 wasn’t about killing isis
@@mdstate829 Saudi Arabia is a disgusting nation. It was a fake nation that was created by the British and kept alive by the United States. Saudi terror state has funded many terrorists all across the world and has killed all the Arab spring revolts. This nation can't even fight against the houthis, it's the most pathetic nation on the planet
This how disparate they are posting a documentary from 2003 in 2020 😂
???? if you are not Muslim you are not welcome?? I'm from Saudi and if anyone tells you something like that he will be in the jail
Well isn’t he considered the infidel so therefore they are absolutely right not to talk to him according to your religion or do you not know your religion
I'm from abha and I never understood people who said that I got mad on the inside when I heard it
You go to a mosque and ask them offensive questions. What did you expect ?
What the heck is this garbage? Uploading a doc from 2003. With propaganda, lies nonsense and mistranslated subtitles.
Who is translated this?
the point of this is to show an old documentary, not to comment on what the situation is now. Are you all subscribed to this channel? You should know that this is a regular part of their content. They frequently show old footage which I think is fantastic. Other agencies don't offer the chance to look back in time and learn from it.
Anna We watch CNN and ABC channels. These channels lie a lot and try to offend Saudi Arabia.
They have religious, social and cultural hatred towards Saudi Arabia
Everyone should know, that we are Muslims and Arabs. Our culture, values and religion are different from you. We do not want to be Americans.
Families have sued. 9/11 families deserve justice
This is talking about a sect group but generally everyday Muslim don’t practice religion like this.
Saudi Arabia is one helluva sect!!
B P stop spreading hate
Read ‘The Wahhabi Myth: Dispelling Prevalent Fallacies and the Fictitious Link with Bin Laden’
Book by H. J. Oliver
Sorry Is anyone here actually born or muslim who know the religion through knowledge and have a balance view on this
Despite being uploaded in 2020, the video is 17 years old and a lot been happening to Saudi Arabia since then. I don't understand why old news is on CZcams as its not current or relatable. Its just fuelling divisions amongst societies.
Non sense ! This video is 30 years old Saudi Arabia now passing in huge transformation process and is very different country with 70% less than 25 yrs old
Gotta blame someone so they blame the country with the most oil make sense
lmao u should read about what saudi did with their oil in 1948, it terrifies them the thought of it happening again
@@MsAmoooool what was that
Mullumbimby madness X212 saudi boycotts the oil from u.s.a in alliance with Palestine which caused the u.s into a huge economic fail, until this day they fear this to happen again the dollar value literally depends on the saudi oil
a.m That was in the 1970s. And thanks for doing that to the US. It finally revealed how poorly American cars were made and people started buying imports.
@@mb-bf2zn wasn't really about the quality of American cars, as much as it was about their fuel efficiency.
يارجال بلغو عن الفيديو هذا
مايصلح
كلامك صحيح 👍👍
Why report it ? What happened ?
Who is the Sheikh reciting Quran at the start of the video and also at minute 8:13
can’t believe this’s a real video in 2020, it’s so oudated lol, and the guy in the video was saying that “the mosque is a holy place why are u bringing up political issues coming from Western people to our holy place, do y’all have shame on u? my indian pakistan and saudi brothers why?” and honestly can’t agree more with him, u seriously going and harassing civilians in their safe place bcs of an event happened in 2003, not to mention this particular event was fabricated and used over million times on the wrong people (aka saudi), let’s not forget saudi called Bin Laden a terrorist and took off his citizenship (which was giving to him and his family when they came as refugees from yemen) and Saudi actually warned the u.s about him and his group (he already bombed saudi before bombing U.s) and u didn’t listen to saudi, it’s 2020 there are more important stuff to discuss we had enough of the Eurocentric fear propaganda on every media platform! people literally dying out there in Africa! their souls are no less important than urs!
Well I'm very happy that you are forthcoming speaking truth. I don't know much about Islam or the people who believe in the Holy Quran. But I do hold you guys dear to my heart. If it wasn't for a Muslim from Afghanistan I would be so lost still. I do believe in Allah. And I'm learning the Islamic way one step at a time. Peace be with you from Las Vegas.. ma sha Allah
@@THEE_WARRIOR_X Alhamdulillah May Allah guide you to Islam
Well Saudi Arabia may not be invaded in 9/11 but their government indirectly funds wahhabi extremism
it was filmed in 2003, can you read?
Those translated subtitles though lol
الله يرحمك ياابو متعب، يقول للحكومه الاستراليه هدو شوي. يحسب العالم قلوبها طيبه مثله
Can someone tell me where to find the nasheed at 11:15 pleaaseee
Don’t speak/commentate over the Quran while it’s playing ... disrespectful
Just some words my man, no need to get that serious
90's kid to you it might be just some words to us it is the word of allah. It is really disrespectful but if someone didn’t knew I don’t think he meant disrespect.
@@90skid97 no it's serious
These words are by God we should respect it
@@mosaleh7337 The rest of the world (specially the modern world) has done fine without, just saying. Somehow the countries with the strongest believers in radical religion are always the poorest, most uneducated and unequal countries as well...I wouldn't put my bet on an old book to save me, that has clearly not been succesfull throughout history
@@artix444 yeah I don't think most people would know
That’s outdated Documentary
Hey what's the name of the reader of Quran at the start of video?
i dont know but i would love to hear it. anyone knows who is he
"You stick with your people" says everything.
It's crazy watching this documentary now knowing how Alwaleed has basically had his wealth confiscated by MBS.
not true
Uh yeah it was. He was arrested lol
@@TheKing60210 she said “wealth confiscated” and i said it didn’t happen, just a fraction of it
The Quran at the beginning sounds so good it’s like music to my ears my goodness please I need more
I just cannot understand these people... I never will
very interesting I just watched the 2020 one about tourism
Wow. Those 3 Saudi young ladies speak English like Americans or Canadians. Do all Saudis speak flawless North American English?
18:29 how terrorism start!
It's one thing to support people who fight in wars, it is a completely different thing to see those people killing massive amounts of civilians
The world should not judge entire Saudi people just because of a few bad moles.
If the West wants peace, freedom, democracy, ... etc. ... hence stop interfering in the Islamic world.
The Islamic world does not need democracy, because, in reality, Islam is the best way of life.
MY ORPHAN FATHER AT SIX YEARS, IMAGINE WHAT HIS STOLEN DAUGHTER MEANS, IS THE REPETITION OF HIS ORPHAND FROM CHILDHOOD, CHILD INDEFENSION, HIS FATHER DEDICATED TO POLITICS AND TRIPS, CAN TAKE THEM WITHIN BUT THIS TIME ATTENDING EACH ONE, IT IS IMPACTING HIS SADNESS DOES NOT EXCEED HIM WITH A POLITICAL GOVERNMENT BECAUSE THIS DIDN'T SERVE TO RECEIVE HER DAUGHTER IN THE HOME AS EVERYBODY HAD EXPECTED, I ASK WHY SO HATE? DOES IT MAKE ETERNAL A FEELING SICK, PSYCHOTIC, MANIACODEPRESSIVE AND PARANOUS? WHERE IS THE MENTAL HEALTH OF THE WORLD?
Shaikh al hawashi doesn't still imam for the mosque. Now Saudi Arabia is looking to the future. Please let us not forget that the American has raised extremists to beat Russian in central Asia.
Sheesh that was 17 years ago. I wasn’t even born yet yikes!!!!
Apology for accidentally cursing this video editor n publisher for spreading falsehood
This give me depression as a Saudi, thank god we have changed 180 degree since this was filmed,
i dont understand, why are you happy about the changes? why do you wanna follow western lifestyle?
Cisqo I LOVE THE WEST SO DAMN MUCH
@@bedouinknight9437 ok but I'm asking why? Or are you being just sarcastic
Cisqo what is exactly western lifestyle to u? lmao having rights isn’t westren, it was there in the Umayyad and Abasyyd states in Arabia way before the west, im sure ure a levant or iraqi arab which explains the extremism islam that u always try to project on us, even tho islam stared here and we know better about our history and religion.
@@MsAmoooool im not arab, but what do you consider as extremism?
It's just sad that today many Muslims copying western lifestyle in everything, even how they dress etc.
You clearly have some kind of inferior complex since you think that anything that opposes western standards must be extremism.
Wow we have changed so much since 2003
I wish you good luck with that. Hopefully the lunatics dont protest.
@@omaryasser2405 EDIT: my dad is american and my mom is arabic
iam not arabic but this is nice
yes! i live there for 5 years now and i enjoyed the place!
my mom is arabic and my dad is american and we are going to stay in saudi arabia for 19 more years cuz the president helped us gets money he buy a house for us and any rent he pays for them cuz we were american and the hijab's is a really cool thing to wear i always wear it!
18:59 Allan Gerson died doing what he knows best. Causing trouble.
21:10 "Saudi Arabia was unified at the point of the sword"... It's laughable how propagandist this documentary is... Saudi Arabia was unified through duologue and cooperation between the leaderships of the tribes that roamed the Arabian penensula... And to self defense from the rampent ottoman invasions....
Lol!!!! Dialogue and cooperation between tribal leaders? Or was it invaded like Iraq?
@@md.masumomarjashim no the largest tribes came together with al-saud (royal ) family to form Saudi Arabia
@@person10 Saudi Arabia was on the allies side in world war one. And the ottomans had their last gasp on the Western region of Saudi Arabia untill the ottoman empire collapsed...
@@mr3zezw215 As per my history knowledge, I think you are wrong. Ibn Saud took those lands via war, strategic marriages and threats, with Al Wahhab's aid.
Md. Masum Omar Jashim there where a lot of tribes in Saudi before it was formed of course not all of them were willing to give there lands away. They didn’t understand it the didn’t understand the fact that all tribes will fight for one flag
There IS a connection between Saudi Arabia, Bush and 9/11 - Bob Woodward wrote about an afternoon wine meeting between Saudi Ambassador, Bush, Cheney, Condi Rice - Saudis wanted help in getting their loan money (+ 40r 5 Billion) back from Sadam (4/2001). Bush said he would need some big reason for the US to get involved. The Saudi Ambassador said /inferred something could be arranged. End result of 9/11 - war against Iraq, Cheney gets access to Iraqi oil for Halliburton, and US controls all Iraqi money and works to get Iraqi loan money back and international loan terms re-negotiated and rates lowered. There is a definite Saudi connection and 9/11 - something BIG to get the US angry. Why Saudi terrorists and US attacks Iraq ???? Where are the Iraqi terrorists ????
Very outdated biased documentary. Why was it uploaded again?
in Saudi women couldn't drive until 2017
You manipulative, in one verse you translated it into "give us victory of the disbelieving people" when it actually means Allah almighty speaks the truth. This how misinformed people get violent against muslims.

dirty ox his father King Abdulaziz married many wives from different ethnicities for political affairs ofcs so yes king Abdullah has a slightly blue/grayish eyes while king Faisal has more arab features like tanned skin and straight bug nose lol
Because they are not True Arabs

it’s like talking about black people life in 80’s in US .. are you really that desperate to make a news ?!
Yes. You need to read Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Some key examples include John 10:30 ("I and the Father are one"), John 14:9 ("Whoever has seen me has seen the Father". Throughout the Gospels, people are depicted worshipping Jesus. In Matthew 28:9, the women who encounter the resurrected Jesus fall at his feet and worship him. Similarly, in John 9:38, the healed blind man worships Jesus. Please read for yourself if you don't believe: When tempted by Satan to worship him, Jesus responds, "It is written, 'Worship the Lord your God at Matthew 4:10.
