RIYADH, Aug 2 (IslamOnline.net & News Agencies) - Saudi papers Saturday August 2, have unanimously agreed that there is an Israeli hand behind accusations of financing and supporting terrorism leveled by the U.S. Congress at Saudi Arabia in its report on 9/11 attacks.

One paper said that U.S. congressmen have become more concerned about the interests of Israel than their own country's interests.

"The Jewish lobby and Israel in particular are undoubtedly behind the planning and implementation of such campaigns," Al-Nadwa newspaper reported under the heading of "The Israeli role in supporting atrocious campaigns".

The paper emphasized the kingdom's keenness to unveil the 28-page Congress report that includes accusations against Saudi Arabia of financing September 11 attacks. Yet, Washington refuses to reveal the contents of the report under the pretext that such pieces of information are contrary to the national security.

Al-Yawm newspaper wrote that the Congress has carefully listened to lies recited by the former Israeli representative to the Security Council Duri Gold, widely known for his non-transparency and great ability to tell lies.

The paper said that this means that such lies are in the interest of Israel, not the U.S. and that U.S. representatives defend the interests of Israel and not their own interests.

For its part, Al-Watan newspaper has published the details of the hearing, held by the U.S. Congress Thursday July 31. The paper wrote that the hearing was within the framework of a malicious campaign prepared and organized by some Zionist Lobby related U.S. circles.

"What is strange about the hearing is that the former Israeli ambassador to the UN has been invited and he has launched a severe attack against Saudi Arabia, making use of the campaign against the kingdom," the paper wrote.

According to Al-Watan, "some U.S. congressmen have called to pressurize Saudi Arabia into intensifying its efforts in the war against terrorism" and to ratify a number of arbitrary measures, including leveling a formal accusation of committing crimes against Saudi institutions, as some.

Within this context, Republican senator Arlene Specter called for applying "criminal penalties" against the kingdom. "There is too much worries in the Congress that Saudi Arabia enjoys protection for reasons related to U.S. foreign policy," he said.

"It is difficult to separate between legitimate funds and those dedicated to terrorists, as far the investigations about Saudi charities are concerned," a high-ranking official at the treasury department Rick Newcomb said.

"The Treasury Department has demanded the application of economic sanctions against several Saudi organizations, yet it was prevented to do so by the U.S. foreign department and some other U.S. officials," Newcomb said in his testimony before the Congress.

Questions raised by congressmen in this context focused on the "World Islamic Youth League" and "World Islamic Relief Authority", as they allegedly support Hamas and al-Qaeda organizations.

Al-Watan paper pointed out that the U.S. officials have quoted the way of dealing with "Al-Harameen Institution" in collaboration with the Saudi government, which finally led to freezing the activities of the institution outside Saudi Arabia due to lack of financial restrictions.
