9/11 Report Blames CIA

The report, which took nine months to complete after nearly two dozen hearings, also “suggested” Saudi Arabia may have played a role in the devastating terror assault nearly two years ago, Agence France-Presse (AFP).

The report concluded that although there was no "smoking gun" – no single source of information which might have allowed U.S. authorities to uncover and prevent the attacks – the attacks could have been prevented.

"With proper cooperation among various U.S. agencies and better intelligence, law enforcement officials might have prevented the attacks," said Senator Bob Graham at a packed news conference attended by relatives of the attacks’ victims.

"The report makes clear that we should have known potential terrorists were living among us."
