Treasury Dept. to Refuse Senate a List of Saudi Suspects

NY Times reports: "The Treasury Department said yesterday that it would decline to provide the Senate with a list of Saudi individuals and organizations the federal government has investigated for possibly financing Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups... Moreover, the move contradicted an assertion made on Thursday by a senior Treasury official, Richard Newcomb, who told the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee in a hearing... that the list was not classified and that his agency would turn it over to the Senate within 24 hours... Arlen Specter... said he planned to subpoena the Treasury Department for the information if it was not released voluntarily to the Senate... Officials said that (Newcomb) also told Senate staff members in briefings before the hearings that the State Department had intervened on a number of occasions to ask the Treasury Department not to include certain Saudi entities on its terrorist watchlist."
