Allegations that Saudi Royal Family‑controlled National Commercial Bank (NCB) and BCCI funneled funds to al‑Qaeda and 9/11 hijackers

Allegations that Saudi Royal Family‑controlled National Commercial Bank (NCB) and BCCI funneled funds to al‑Qaeda and 9/11 hijackers The passage provides specific names (Khalid bin Mahfouz, Princess Haifa, Muwaffaq Foundation), entities (NCB, BCCI, Saudi Public Investment Fund), and alleged dollar amounts ($3 million, $74 million) linking high‑level Saudi actors to terrorist financing. These details suggest concrete investigative avenues (bank records, charitable donations, Senate report) but the claims are still unverified and rely on complaint allegations, keeping the score just below the blockbuster threshold. Key insights: Princess Haifa allegedly paid Al‑Bayoumi in Jan 1999, who is accused of renting for two hijackers.; Khalid bin Mahfouz served as President/CEO of NCB (1986‑1999) and COO of BCCI.; NCB’s subsidiary SNCB Securities, Ltd. operated in New York as a possible conduit.
