Shiite Iraq's gains against Islamic State spur fundraising in Saudi Arabia

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 85%. (I'm a bot)


Questions about possible official Saudi links to the attacks have ebbed and flowed in the past 15 years, although the official 9/11 Commission report, published in 2004, found no evidence that "The Saudi government as an institution or senior Saudi officials" were involved in backing the hijackers.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the top Democrat on the current Intelligence Committee, said last month that she saw nothing in the pages that would implicate Saudi Arabia or any other government but that releasing the pages would "Clear the air."

The prospect of the information's being released out of context - without a point-by-point refutation available, at least in part, in the footnotes of the 9/11 Commission report, makes the Saudi government both nervous and angry, Saudi officials have said.
