| White House and intelligence officials are deciding whether to declassify 28 pages of a congressional investigation into the September 11 attacks. The still-secret chapter could answer or raise new questions about possible Saudi links to the attackers.
The documents, kept in a secure room in the basement of the Capitol, contain information about possible sources of foreign support for some of the hijackers while they were in the United States.
Former Sen. Bob Graham, D-Fla., co-chairman of the joint congressional inquiry, has said the pages "point a very strong finger at Saudi Arabia as being the principal financier."
Saudi officials say there's nothing to the allegations. Relatives of the 9/11 victims say Saudi Arabia's relationship to al-Qaida has never been fully investigated by anyone - before or since the attacks.
A look at the varying viewpoints about possible Saudi links to 9/11 and the missing 28 pages:
The 9/11 Commission
The commission, led by former Gov. Tom Kean, R-N.J., and former Rep. Lee Hamilton, D-Ind., was created partly to continue the work done by the bipartisan congressional inquiry, whose report - minus the 28 pages- came out in December 2002.
"The 28 pages were based almost entirely on raw, unvetted material that came to the FBI," Kean and Hamilton said this year. "The material was then written up in FBI files as possible leads for further investigation. ... The congressional panel never had a chance to check out any of these leads."
They said the commission and its staff spent 18 months investigating "all the leads contained in the 28 pages, and many more." The 567-page report was released in July 2004.
