For more than 20 years, US presidents have vindicated Saudi Arabia's government on their involvement in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

However, a declassified FBI memo suggests otherwise. Here's why. 👇

Omar al-Bayoumi, a Saudi national, met two of the 9/11 hijackers shortly after they arrived in the US.

He maintained that he met the hijackers by coincidence and he was in the US "as a business student."

The report does little to dispute this claim.

New documents suggest that the 9/11 Commission got it wrong.

About 10 years ago, when Erik Arbuthnot first heard about phony-kidnapping hustles, his fellow agents at the FBI scoffed at the cases.

Now they have become so widespread that the bureau has a name for them: virtual kidnappings.

Here's what's going on.👇

Last year, Richard Mendelstein, a soft-spoken 56-year-old software engineer at Google, received a call. On the other end of the line, Mendelstein heard his daughter sobbing in fear.
