BREAKING: Yemen's Houthis might have directly struck Saudi Arabia's East-West crude oil pipeline in the desert southeast of Medina. Sentinel-3 satellite imagery from today shows a massive black smoke plume nearly 100 km long over the pipeline route, stretching across the desert between Medina and Mahd adh Dhahab.
Satellite fire data shows a large fire burning at the same spot, with multiple heat anomalies clustered along a stretch of under 10 kilometers, fire radiative power above 70 megawatts, more than double a conventional fire, and the burn sustained for at least 8 hours, per NASA FIRMS data from today.
The East-West pipeline carries Saudi crude from Abqaiq to Yanbu on the Red Sea, the kingdom's only export route that does not pass through the Strait of Hormuz. The fire comes amid Houthi attacks on Saudi territory over the past 24 hours.
The day before 9/11, the stock market processed approximately 45 times the average daily trading volume in put options (bets that a stock will fall) on American Airlines and United Airlines - the two carriers whose planes were hijacked.
Simultaneously, call options (bets that a stock will rise) were placed on defense contractors - companies whose stock prices would surge after a terrorist attack.
The SEC investigated the unusual trading. Their findings were classified.
The 9/11 Commission addressed the put options in a single paragraph, concluding that the trades were 'consistent with legitimate trading strategies' and had 'no connection' to al-Qaeda.
The Commission did not ask whether the trades had connections to anyone other than al-Qaeda.
Convar - the German-Israeli firm recovering WTC hard drives - found evidence of 'suspicious financial transactions' in the hours before the attack. These findings were also classified.
Someone knew. Someone traded on that knowledge. The investigation was designed to look at only one possible source - al-Qaeda - and when that source was cleared, the investigation stopped.
The financial foreknowledge of 9/11 has never been publicly explained. The evidence has never been released.
