The U.N. Security Council gave a resounding 15-0 endorsement Tuesday to a U.S. resolution backing the transfer of sovereignty to Iraq s new government 14 months after the fall of Saddam Hussein.

WASHINGTON - Amid the clamor a year ago to release 28 still-secret pages of a congressional inquiry into the Sept. 11 attacks, the government adidas originals quietly declassified a little-known report listing more than three dozen people who piqued the interest of investigators probing possible Saudi connections to the hijackers.The document, known as File 17, offers clues to what might be in the missing pages of the bipartisan report about 9/11. Much of the information upon which File 17 was written was based on what s in the 28 pages, said former Democratic Sen. Bob Graham of Florida, co-chairman of the congressional inquiry. He believes the hijackers had an extensive Saudi support system while they were in the United States. 28 Pages 15:26 File 17 said, Here are some additional unanswered questions and here is how we think the 9/11 Commission, the FBI and the CIA should go about finding crocs absatz the answers, Graham s air max aid.Saudi Arabia s Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir denies any allegations of Saudi complicity, telling reporters in Washington earlier this month that there is no there there.
