Law-enforcement officials follow the money trail among suspected terrorists straight to the doors of the Saudi Embassy
April 7 - Within weeks of the September 11 terror attacks, security officers at the Fleet National Bank in Boston had identified suspicious wire transfers from the Saudi Embassy in Washington that eventually led to the discovery of an active Al Qaeda sleeper cell that may have been planning follow-up attacks inside the United States, according to documents obtained by NEWSWEEK.
U.S. law-enforcement officials familiar with the matter say there is no evidence that officials at the Saudi Embassy were knowingly financing Al Qaeda activity inside the country. But documents show that while trying to trace a tangled money trail beginning with the Saudi Embassy, investigators soon drew startling connections between a group of Saudi nationals receiving financial support from the embassy and a 34-year-old microbiologist and MIT graduate who officials have since concluded was a U.S. operative for 9/11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed.

If my memory serves me correctly, members of the bin Laden family lived in Boston. They were flown out of the country right after 9/11 by the Saudi government.
