Pre-9/11 Video Shows Saudi Agent Scouting US Capitol

TL;DR Summary
A newly released 25-year-old video shows a man identified by the FBI as a Saudi intelligence agent filming locations in Washington three months before the 9/11 attacks. The footage, unsealed in a court action by 9/11 victims' families, raises questions about Saudi Arabia's alleged complicity, which the country denies. The video includes commentary on security arrangements and mentions a "plan." The FBI claims the man, Omar al-Bayoumi, had ties to two 9/11 hijackers and possibly advanced knowledge of the attacks. Saudi authorities and Bayoumi deny any involvement.
