WHAT IN THE WORLD? The U.S. Is Sending the 20th Hijacker From 9/11 Back to Saudi for Mental Health Treatment
Editor’s Note: If this were really the “20th hijacker” who helped with the destruction of the Twin Towers (and WTC 7) as we’ve been led to believe, (1) why would he be effectively released after contributing to the murders of 3,000+ Americans? And, (2) why would he be sent back to the very nation that sponsored virtually all of the 9-11 hijackers? Food for thought for thinking patriots.
‘20th Hijacker’ of 9/11 Transferred From Guantanamo to Psychiatric Facility in Saudi Arabia
By The Independent UK. A Guantanamo Bay detainee held for 20 years for allegedly trying to take part in the 9/11 hijacking plot has been sent home to Saudi Arabia.
The Pentagon says that Mohammad Mani Ahmad al-Qahtani, 46, will receive treatment at a psychiatric facility when he arrives back in the country.
He had been held at the US base in Cuba since 2002, with US officials determining last year that keeping him detained was “no longer necessary to protect against a continuing significant threat to the national security of the United States.” (Read more from “‘20th Hijacker’ of 9/11 Transferred From Guantanamo to Psychiatric Facility in Saudi Arabia” HERE)

Pentagon Says Guantanamo Detainee Accused of Being Linked to 9/11 Transferred to Saudi Arabia
By CBS News. The Defense Department announced Monday that Mohammad Mani Ahmad al-Qahtani, who has been accused of being the “20th hijacker” in the September 11, 2001 terrorism plot, has been sent home to Saudi Arabia from the military prison at Guantanamo Bay.
A review board determined in June 2021 that al-Qahtani did not present a current threat to national security, and recommended repatriation to Saudi Arabia. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin notified Saudi Arabia in February of the decision.
“The United States appreciates the willingness of Saudi Arabia and other partners to support ongoing U.S. efforts toward a deliberate and thorough process focused on responsibly reducing the detainee population and ultimately closing of the Guantanamo Bay facility,” the Defense Department said in a statement.
Shayana Kadidal, senior managing attorney of the Guantanamo project at the Center for Constitutional Rights, said al-Qahtani has suffered schizophrenia since a young age, and that in 2002, an FBI official saw al-Qahtani speaking to non-existent people, hearing voices and crouching in a corner of his cell while covering himself with a sheet for hours. Kadidal said al-Qahtani has repeatedly tried to kill himself.
In a statement from February, the Center for Constitutional Rights said that an independent psychiatric expert examined al-Qahtani at Guantanamo and confirmed the diagnosis of schizophrenia in 2016, and the military’s own doctors unanimously agreed with that conclusion.
