		Meanwhile, dissident Saudi subjects (with whom I communicate regularly in person and by e-mail) tell me that the the "terror suspects" allegedly arrested and killed by the Saudi authorities, in the typical mysterious circumstances, are most often imams themselves.
		Back here at home, we heard that Princess Haifa bint Faisal, wife of the Saudi ambassador Prince Bandar bin Sultan, donated money that somehow wound up in the pockets of two leading participants in the 9/11 plot, thanks somehow to the activities of Omar al-Bayoumi, who appears to have been a Saudi government agent.
		Then the congressional report on intelligence failures leading to 9/11 appeared, and although it included transactions between al-Bayoumi and the terrorists, Princess Haifa was shielded from further scrutiny.

		"I have asked the State Department to conduct an immediate and exhaustive investigation into the financial activities of Princess Haifa bint Faisal to determine whether she or other Saudi Arabian officials were knowingly providing monetary support to terrorists and terrorist activities," Fossella said.
