The wonderful generosity of the Saudi Royal family extends to the September 11th terrorists, according to today's Times:

THE FBI is investigating how funds from a senior member of the Saudi Royal Family found their way indirectly to two of the September 11 suicide hijackers.
A Saudi spokesman said yesterday that the wife of Prince Bandar bin Sultan, the Saudi Ambassador to Washington, had unwittingly paid $2,000 a month to a woman who has since been identified as the wife of a student who befriended the attackers in the United States. He said that the woman, Magda Ibrahim Ahmed, gave some of Princess Haifa al-Faisal?s cheques to her husband and that she may also have given at least one payment to the wife of a second student, Omar al-Bayoumi.

Mr al-Bayoumi is said to have helped two men to set themselves up in San Diego, California, in early 2000. The next year the men were part of the five-strong group that hijacked an American Airlines passenger aircraft and crashed it into the Pentagon.
