Jane McMullen

Journalist, I should point out the attacks with the work of al-Qaeda, led by Osama bin Laden, this strange son of a wealthy Saudi Arabian family, and carried out mainly... by Saudi nationals.

Jane McMullen spoke to Terry Strada as part of her investigation into the Saudi connection for Panorama, which aired this week, and she joins us now.

Jane, tell us how you got to know Terry and how significant her intervention today has been.

Hi, thank you very much for having me.

As I said, he previously has denied knowing that Hasm al-Midah would go on to become hijacked, and he's denied any involvement in the attacks.

And Saudi Arabia has previously said that any allegation that it or its officials were complicit in 9-11 is categorically false.

Jane McMullen, thank you.

9.11, The Saudi Connection is on the iPlayer and on BBC Sounds there's a podcast entry, a 9.11 story.

He was never extradited back to the US, although compelling evidence against him was uncovered by British police and shared with the FBI.

Tom was-

Neither he nor the Saudi government responded to our request for comment.

He has previously denied knowing that Hazmi and Mihdhar would go on to be hijackers, said the plane diagram was just an equation, and denied any involvement in the 9/11 attacks.

Episode five, Mosque and State.

A few months after the White House visit, Terry is once again in a room full of 9/11 families, not the East Room this time, but a hotel ballroom, coffee, folding chairs, widows, widowers, parents, people just like her, still moving through the fog of what has happened.
