FILE - In this Oct. 12, 2012, file photo Bob Graham speaks in Gainesville, Fla.. The Obama administration will likely soon release at least part of a 28-page secret chapter from a congressional inquiry into 9/11 that may shed light on possible Saudi connections to the attackers.

Graham says an Obama administration official told him that intelligence officials will decide in the next several weeks whether to release at least parts of the documents, a disclosure that comes at a time of strained U.S. relations with Saudi Arabia, a long-time American ally.
