Osama bin Laden used Saudis to break US ties, says Crown Prince Salman on 9/11 question at White House

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman found himself under intense scrutiny at the White House as families of the 9/11 victims renewed their demand for accountability. Addressing reporters alongside US President Donald Trump, the Crown Prince insisted that Osama bin Laden deliberately used Saudi nationals in the 2001 attacks in order to shatter the strategic US Saudi partnership. Responding to repeated questions on the September 11 tragedy, Prince Salman emphasised that the attacks were designed to weaken the long standing ties between the two nations. He stressed that Saudi Arabia has been working diligently to ensure that such an incident never recurs.
