Bush refuses to declassify 28 page Saudi link report
President Bush declined Tuesday to release a congressional 28 page report alleged to link Saudi officials to the September 11 hijackers. The White House sought to question Omar Bayoumi, a Saudi aviation employee who befriended two hijackers, a move Saud al Faisal said could aid Saudi response but would hurt U.S. intelligence operations. Saud met Bush briefly, defended Saudi actions, and urged not to publish the report, which he described as unfounded and harmful.
