The Saudi Arabian government has threatened to sell of hundreds of billions of dollars' worth of American assets should the U.S. Congress pass a bill that could hold the kingdom responsible for any role in the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, the New York Times reported on Friday.
The newspaper reported that Saudi foreign minister Adel al-Jubeir told U.S. lawmakers last month that "Saudi Arabia would be forced to sell up to $750 billion in Treasury securities and other assets in the United States before they could be in danger of being frozen by American courts."

Hmmm. 15 out of 19 911 asshats were Saudis, I wonder if Saudi Arabia has something to hide? Also why invade Astan and Iraq whan Saudi Arabia was the attacker? Also, a selloff of 750B in t bills would cause a stir in the markets for sure. However, everyone else who holds t bills (Russia, Japan, some other countries have vast t bill stashes, China seems to have sold off much of theirs) will be pissed at the Saudis.
