for a two week period between 01/15/2000 and 02/04/2000, and to
identify individuals in Los Angeles who assisted them.
During the investigation, FBI -LA identified video
surveillance footage from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)
security cameras for 06/10/2000. Depicted on the video
surveillance footage are AL -HAZMI, AL -MIHDHAR and San Diego
Subject and 9/11 Material Witness MOHDAR ABDULLAH
Also on the video are two other individuals who
appear in the security line before AL -HAZMI, AL -MIHDHAR, ABDULLAH
and an individual possibly identified as Yemeni National, HANI
SAEED . The two othe r individuals appear in line
approximately one and half minutes before the group of four.
One of the two individuals has been possibly identified as Yemeni
National RAMEZ NOAMAN while the other individual
remains unidentified. Footage of the video depicts the
individual who is possibly identified as SAEED exiting the
security line wearing a blue Los Angeles Dodgers Baseball Hat,
holding what may be a camera and possibly conducting
reconnaissance of the security checkpoint.
At the p resent time, it is unsubstantiated that SAEED
and NOAMAN are indeed the individuals depicted in the LAX security
video.
In order to identify the UNSUBS in the 06/10/2000
LAX Video and determine if the hijackers had a support network
in Los Angeles, Los Angeles is reviewing San Diego payphone
connections to Los Angles; Los Angeles connections to Malaysian
and Thailand payphones that Al -Qaeda operatives used in 2000;
and reviewing LAX parking records for every single car that passed
through LAX on 01/1 5/2000 (the day the hijackers arrived) and
06/10/2000 (the day Khaled AL -Mihdhar departed LAX).
To date, Los Angeles investigation has not determined the
true identities of the UNSUBS in the 06/10/2000 LAX Video.
On 11/01 /2006, Sa n Diego advised that San Diego Union
Tribune Reporter, , had been in contact with San
Diego twice (09/29/2006 and 10/03/2006) about
her email contact with ABDULLAH. told that
ABDULLAH informed her t he LAX video corroborates what Abdullah
previously told the FBI. Also, ABDULLAH stated that the other
individual in the video was either a friend of al Hazmi or al Mihdhar;
and, was residing in Los Angeles at that time (06/10/2000). ABDULLAH
advised that he was introduced to this individual on a previous occasion
when this individual traveled to San Diego to visit. This individual

Based upon this i nformation, Special Agents (SA) of the FBI
went to various locations in VA and NJ seeking ALRABABAH. On 09/28/2001,
ALRABABAH went to the FBI Office in Bridgeport, CT. ALRABABAH stated
that he had been watching CNN on the evening of 09/27/2001, and also
reading a local newspaper when he saw pictures of the hijackers. He
recognized four of them as being individuals he had met and dealt with
in the past. In particular, he informed the FBI there that he had met
with the hijackers on two occasions. He stat ed that in 04/2001, when
he was in Falls Church, VA, he met two individuals, he now recognized
to have been hijackers from 09/11/2001. These individuals he identified
as HANI HANJOUR and NAWAF ALHAMZI and referred to them as the ‘‘Saudi’s’’.
He stated that it was a chance meeting at a 7 -11 Convenience store and
they had struck up a conversation with him. During the conversation
they stated they needed a place to stay and ALRABABAH was able to later
contact an acquaintance, who found them a place to stay in VA. The three
of them went to where ALRABAHBAH was staying, and
had tea. They spent approximately 45 minutes over tea but, according
to ALRABABAH, little was said. Also present was ALRABABAH’s
. That is the o nly contact he had with the highjackers
at that time.
Approximately one month after that chance meeting, ALRABABAH
received a call from in VA, informing him that the ‘‘Saudi’s’’
he had met were back in town and looking to relocate to an area close
to New York City. ALRABABAH traveled to VA from CT, and met with HANJOUR
and ALHAZMI, and two other individuals who he later identified as, MAJED
MOQED and AHMED ALGHAMDI. All four individuals, all of whom he now
recognizes as hijackers. ALRABABAH was unable to make any connections
for housing in the Paterson, NJ area at this time. Paterson, NJ is a
known Arabic community, in close proximity to New York City (NYC), which
he is very familiar with. ALRABABAH then decided to take them to the
Fairfield, Ct area, an area where he is also familiar with as well as
employed. They traveled in two separate cars to CT, ALRABAHBAH traveled
with HANJOUR in his s vehicle,
Falls Church, VA),and were followed by ALHAMZI, MOQED
and ALGHAMDI in NAWAF’s vehicle, which was the vehicle later recovered
at DULLES AIRPORT, VA. ALRABABAH related that he had originally planned
to take them sightseeing on his way north, to include SIX FLAGS, Maryland
(MD). Durin g his travels, he claims to have gotten lost for two hours,
at which time it was decided to continue directly to CT.
It is noted that the records of Six Flags Amusement Park,

Dear
May God’ s blessings be upon you, your family, and your colleagues.
We ask for your thoughtful consideration of the following.
Investigation in Portland, Oregon determined that telephone number is subscribed to the
address of Portland, Oregon. Telephone number has
become of interest to the investigation of the 9/11/2001 attacks. It was called by ABDALLAH
ALTOWAYAN.
ABDULLAH ALTOWAYAN, from 4/6/2001 through 8/5/2001, lived at 6401 Mount Ada Road,
San Diego, California. He lived with his wife, ,
and daughter ALTOWAYAN identified himself with an
Oregon identification card, number , showing an address of
Portland, Oregon. That address is the administration building for the University of Oregon.

Of interest is the fact that during ALTOWAY AN’s residency at the Mount Ada Road address, HANI
HANJOUR, KHALID AL -MIHDHAR, and NAWAF AL -HAZMI, all hijackers of 9/11/2001, lived
at the same apartment complex. Also living at the complex was OMAR AL -BAYOUMI, who was
detained in London, for his potenti al involvement in the attacks. When
AL-BAYOUMI moved from the San Diego complex, he had his mail forwarded to ALTOWAYAN’s
apartment.
Without a doubt, the most significant information obtained from the U.S. investigation in San Diego,
relevant to the interest in ALTOWAYAN, is the fact that witnesses have stated ALTOWAYAN,
AL-BAYOUMI, HANJOUR, AL -MIHDHAR, and AL -HAZMI were often seen toge ther. This
leaves no doubt that ALTOWAYAN was well acquainted with the hijackers in the days just prior to the
attacks. It is our opinion that ALTOWAYAN either knew of the planned attacks or was involved in
the planning or support of those attacks.
Further investigation in Portland, based on the Oregon identification card presented at the San Diego
apartment complex, determined ALTOWAYAN obtained a safe deposit box from a local Portland
bank. He obtained the box in November, 2000. In December, 2000, he retrieved a passport from
the box. Accompanying ALTOWAYAN was an unknown Arab male who did not speak during their
time in the bank.
Records relating to ALTOWAYAN’s rental of the safe deposit box revealed the following information.
He provided his dat e of birth as He gave his full name as TOWAYAN ABDALLAH
AL-TOWAYAN, place of birth KSA, and a KSA passport number of Relative to
his safe deposit box, he stated his mother’s maiden name as However, and likely correct, on
another bank document, he identified his mother’s maiden name as and gave his birth date
as
The U.S. investigation has also determined that ALTOWAYAN had made telephone calls to a cellular
phone identified as belonging to SAMI SHAHER AL ANAZI, alias SAMI DHAHER AL -ANAZI. It
was learned that ALANAZI, at the time of the calls, was residing at
Portland, Oregon. That is the residence where telephone number is located. The
number is, of course,
Further investigation identified SAMI SHAHER ALANAZI, alias SAMI DHAHER AL -ANAZI
as a white male, 5 feet 9 inches tall, 190 pounds. ALANAZI was issued Oregon identification c ard

and quite worthy of further scrutiny. There are so many coincidences regarding contacts, residences,
and travel that further investigation of ALTOWAYAN, and must be
conducted.

available. For unknown reasons, the address of
Lemon Grove, California was written on the rental agreement.
Al-Midhar and Al-Hazmi vacated the apartment on May 31, 2000, and
left no forwarding address.
The records of the Parkwood Apartments show that Omar
Ahmed Al-Bayoumi and his wife Manal A. Bagader, with their children,
and moved into the Parkwood Apartments, unit ,
on or about September 1, 1999. Al-Bayoumi listed his occupation as
student and claimed his financial support while in school came from
his family. According to the records of the Parkwood Apartments, Al-
Bayoumi and his family moved out of their apartment on June 23, 2001.
Al-Bayoumi advised he was leaving the United States and left no
forwarding address with the property management company.
On September 17, 2001, a private citizen who has requested
confidentiality (PC2), provided the following information to the FBI:
a party at an apartment where Nawaf Al-Hazmi
and Khalid Al-Midhar resided. This apartment has been determined to
be the Parkwood Apartments located on Mount Ada Road by the FBI.
According to PC2, in addition to Nawaf Al-Hazmi and Khalid Al-Midhar
there were several other guest from the Islamic Center who were in
attendance at this party. One of these guest was Omar Al-Bayoumi.
PC2 was told that Al-Bayoumi was an employee of the Saudi Arabian
government. PC2 explained that the Saudi government sends people
like Al-Bayoumi to mosques throughout the world to monitor to observe
Saudi citizens for any signs of dissident behavior. PC2 learned that
Al-Bayoumi moved from San Diego in August of 2001, and said that Al-
Bayoumi's address is , Birmingham, , United
Kingdom, telephone number
Another private citizen (PC3) was interviewed by agents of
the FBI. PC3 advised that he was familiar with Al-Bayoumi, who had
introduced PC3 to Nawaf Al-Hazmi and Khalid Al-Midhar. According to
PC3, Al-Bayoumi drove Al-Midhar and Al-Hazmi to San Diego from Los
Angeles soon after they arrived in the United States. When Al-
Bayoumi introduced Al-Midhar and Al-Hazmi to PC3 he asked PC3 to help
them become acclimated to San Diego and help them in their business.
Later, PC3 did assist Al-Hazmi and Al-Midhar in exchanging
a plane ticket on United Airlines for a different flight. He
translated for them with the ticket agent. PC3 noted that when the
ticket agent could not comply with the wishes of Al-Hazmi, Al-Hazmi
became verbally abusive to the agent. Although PC3 felt that he/she
was personally close to Al-Midhar and Al-Hazmi, they would not
discuss their person business with him/her. Al-Hazmi refused to
answer PC3 questions regarding his business, saying only to seek
Allah's help and finish your private matters secretly. PC3 also

2 (hereinafter referred to as TARGET TELEPHONE #2), subscribed to by Majeda
Dweikat (wife of target subject Osama Yousef Bassnan). I n 1999, TARGET
TELEPHONE #2 was directly contacted two times by a target telephone in
FBI case
Both phones list the BASSNAN's current home address of
San Diego, California. Omar Al -Bayoumi used at
least two differ ent phones; a landline at his address assigned telephone
number and subscribed to AL -BAYOUMI at his home residence
San Diego, California (hereinafter AL -BAYOUMI
home phone) and a mobile phone subscribed to AL -BAYOUMI's wife Manal
Bagader assigned telephone number (hereinafter AL -BAYOUMI
mobile phone).
1. BASSNAN and AL -BAYOUMI toll analysis
AL-BAYOUMI's connection to the terrorist hijackers Nawaf
Al-Hazmi and Khalid Al -Midhar was set forth in detail in earlier
communications discussing BASSNAN. AL -BAYOUMI is currently in detention
in Great Britain as a material witness to the September 11, 2001 terrorist
attacks on the United States (US). The evidence indicates that
AL-BAYOUMI, lived with AL -HAZMI and AL-MIDHAR for a time, provided
financial support to AL -HAZMI and AL -MIDHAR, co -signed an apartment lease
for them, and provided other assistance to them while they were living
in San Diego, California. The table below details the volume of call
activity between phones used by BASSNAN and AL -BAYOUMI.

of more than 2 calls a day, every day, for almost a year. It is unknown
how many call were made between TARGET TELEPHONE #2 and the AL -BAYOUMI
home phone because both are land lines in the same area code within a
short geographic distance. As such, calls between these two numbers
are not tolled calls by the phone company and are therefore not recorded.

March 2000 to September 2000. Additionally, telephone tolls of
Al-Bayoumi's telephone revealed at least ten contacts with a cellular
telephone used by Al -Helwan, from September 2000 until
January 2001. San Diego has issued subpoenas for credit and cellular
telephone information to locate Al -Helwan's curr ent residence, with
negative results to date. Online resources, indices, and criminal
records checks have failed to identify a current address for Al -Helwan.
Al-Helwan left a forwarding address with the rental complex of
Lawrence, KS 66047. Online
resources and Kansas DMV records are negative for Al -Helwan. A fifty
state DMV request was negative for Al -Helwan, with the exception of
California.
Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) records revealed
that
Al-Helwan entered the United States (U.S.) in New York, New
York, on August 13, 1999, with an intended address of San Diego State
University (SDSU). No departure information is indicated in the INS
records. U.S. Customs Service (USCS)
records were negative for Al -Helwan.
Al-Helwan's application to rent form at Parkwood Apartment
Complex revealed a previous residence of
La Mesa, California 91942. Al -Helwan indicated
that he had resided at that apartment for seven months in February 2000.
Al-Helwan also provided that he had been employed by the Saudi Arabian
Monetary Agency for s even years. Al -Helwan's California DMV
identification card number showed that Al -Helwan provided an
address of La Mesa,
California 91942, as of October 19, 1999.
Al-Helwan's INS Status for Academic and Language Students form
showed that he transferred from SDSU -ALI (language school) to Diversified
Language Institute (DLI), 1403 Sixth Avenue, San Diego, California 92101,
on or about November 30, 1999. Information o n that form also showed
that Al-Helwan listed his source of funds as the Saudi government. A
review of Al -Helwan's student records at DLI revealed that he received
a degree in August 2000. Al -Helwan was supported with funds by the
Ministry of Education, Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia. DLI had no
forwarding address for Al -Helwan. According to INS officials, Al -Helwan

San Diego requests that Kansas City conduct logical

transfer from Ahmed Abdul Azziz Suleiman Al -Hamdan to Al -Bayoumi. Date of
transfer was 02/17/1999.
Al-Bayoumi paid an outstanding hotel bill in the amount of $1349.00

2 paid for their rent. Additionally, he helped set up a bank account for
Al-Hazmi. Al -Bayoumi resided in apartment number from September
1999 until June 2001. Al -Bayoumi lived in apartment number with
his wife, Manal Bagader, and his three children. Al -Hazmi and Al -Mihdhar
lived in apartment number from February 2000 until June 2000.
As a result of this information, San Diego has attempted to
contact all residents of the Parkwood Apartment Complex who resided in
the complex during the time period when Al -Bayoumi, Al -Hazmi, and
Al-Mihdhar resided there.
According to Parkwood Apartment Complex rental files,
Al-Helwan resided at 6333 Mount Ada Road, apartment number from
March 2000 to September 2000. Additionally, telephone tolls of
Al-Bayoumi's cellular telephone number revealed five
contacts with a cellular telephone number used by Al -Helwan,
from September 2000 until January 2001. Al -Helwan left a forwarding
address with the rental complex of
, Lawrence, KS 66047.
Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) records revealed
that Al-Helwan was on January 31, 1999, in Riyadh, Saudia
Arabia. Al -Helwan entered the United States (U.S.) in New York, New
York, on August 13, 1999, with an intended address of San Diego S tate
University (SDSU). No departure information is indicated in the INS
records. U.S. Customs Service (USCS)
records were negative for Al -Helwan.
Al-Helwan's application to rent form at Parkwood Apartme nt
Complex revealed a previous residence of
apartment number La Mesa, California 91942. Al -Helwan indicated
that he had resided at that apartment for seven months in February 2000.
Al-Helwan also provided that he had been employed by the Saudi Arabian
Monetary Agency for seven years. Al -Helwan's California DMV
identification card number showed that Al -Helwan provided an
address of apartment number La Mesa,
California 91942, as of O ctober 19, 1999.
Al-Helwan's INS Status for Academic and Language Students form
showed that he transferred from SDSU -ALI (language school) to Diversified
Language Institute (DLI), 1403 Sixth Avenue, San Diego, California 92101,
on or about N ovember 30, 1999. Information on that form also showed
that Al-Helwan listed his source of funds as the Saudi government. A
review of Al -Helwan's student records at DLI revealed that he received
a degree in August 2000. Al -Helwan was supported with fund s by the
Ministry of Education, Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia. DLI had no
forwarding address for Al -Helwan. INS has no record of Al -Helwan leaving
the U.S. or turning in his I -94 immigration document. On December 5,
2000, Al-Helwan closed his bank accou nt at Bank of America in San Diego.

4 After leaving the Mediterranean Gourmet, Al -Bayoumi and Dyson
briefly walked into the Payless Produce Market, located at 10817 Venice
Boulevard. They did not purchase anything and walked out. They then
proceeded as planned to the Culver City Islamic Mosque.
They then parked and went to pray at the King Fa had Mosque, 10980 W.
Washington Boulevard, Culver City, CA 90232. Photographs of the mosque
were taken by SA and are enclosed for New York. After praying
at the mosque, they left with Al -Bayoumi driving once again. They got
onto I-405 South and proceeded directly back to San Diego.
It is unknown at this time whether this meeting between
Al-Bayoumi and the hijackers in LA was a planned event or a "chance meeting."
The meeting is believed to have occurred on 02/01/2000, based on visa
application activity and toll record analysis. Investigation has
indicated that Al -Bayoumi has extensive ties to the Saudi government.
He was being supported in the U.S. with a stipend from his employer,
the Saudi Arabian Civil Air Administration, and/or the Saudi government.
There is speculation that Al -Bayoumi could be a Saudi intelligence officer
based on numerous factors and circumstances. Therefore, there remains
the possibility that the meeting was planned or Al -Bayoumi was directed
by someone at the Saudi C onsulate to meet the two hijackers at the restaurant
in LA.
San Diego is setting leads for LA to conduct investigation
regarding the below listed establishments and person, regarding any
connection they may have to captioned investigation and/or Omar Al -Bayoumi:
- Saudi Arabian Consulate aka Royal Consulate General of Saudi
Arabia, 2045 Sawtelle Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA. This should include
the obtaining and uploading of telephone toll record information from
at least January 2000 through March 2000. It would b e significant if
evidence of telephonic contact to Al -Bayoumi from the Consulate could
be established. It should also include, if possible, obtaining photos
of workers at the consulate during January/February 2000, so that these
photos can be displayed to witness If witness picks out
one of the photos as the Consulate representative Al -Bayoumi met with
(and appeared to know) it may further develop the Saudi
governmental/intelligence operation connection.
- "Mediterranean Halal Meat and Deli," 10855 Venice Boulevard,
Los Angeles, California 90034. (Now out of business, current business
at property is Dream Pizza).

- MEDITERRANEAN GOURMET Restaurant, located at 10863 Venice
Boulevard, phone number . This is the restaurant where
Al-Bayoumi met the two hijackers. This should include the obtaining and
uploading of telephone toll record information from at least January
2000 through February 2000. It would be significant if evidence of
telephonic contac t to Al-Bayoumi from the restaurant, thereby possibly
refuting the story that the meeting with the hijackers was by chance.
It should also be noted that this establishment is also referenced in
an interview of (DOB: ) dated 09/13 /2001
conducted by LA Agents (See ; Serial ). During
the interview, said he/she went to the Mediterranean Gourmet
restaurant on several occasions with a person known to him/her as MOHAMED

same address and phone number) with the name on same.

non-Saudi workers in Saudi companies and government were replaced by Saudi
workers. The program generally entailed the replacement wo rker to spend an
extended period of time in an English language speaking country. During this
sojourn, the Saudi's living expenses, tuition and salary are paid by their
company or Agency.
was then asked about the typical living stipend, expense
allowances, etc., under the Saudization program. expressed familiarity
with the payment structure citing his position at Dallah. indicated
the housing allowance was a percentage of the gross salary. Other allowances
would include medical exp enses, transportation and food but would not be large
amounts of money. advised that additional expenses like, school tuition
would be reimbursed through the purchase order procedure. SA then
referred to pay statements for Al -Bayoumi duri ng the time period January 2000
through August 2001.
SA summarized the pay records and asked opinion
as to the reasonableness and typicality of Al -Bayoumi's payment history in
relation to other Dallah employees similarly s ituated. based his
opinion on his experience with Dallah and his familiarity with the pay structure
and procedures in Saudi Arabia. advised that the monies represented
as paid to Al -Bayoumi were significantly higher than he expected and
expressed surprise at the amount listed under the category "other allowances".
The pay records reflect a basic salary of 7740.00 riyals in January through
March 2000. said this was the expected salary for an Auditor.
advised the "other allowances" indicated as January - 1742.00 riyals; February
- 1742.00 riyals; March - 1742.00 riyals, were appropriate and expected.
However in April 2000 the "other allowance" jumps to 14,271 riyals and stays
at that level until December 2000. In Janua ry 2001 the "other allowance" is
reduced to 12,852.00 riyals were it stays until August 2001. At this time
the entire "other allowance" disappears from Al -Bayoumi's pay statements.
advised that these amounts of money were very high and were larger than
Al-Bayoumi's base salary. added that he was not surprised because it
appeared to be another manifestation of Saudi graft. could offer no
additional explanation for the amounts of money received as other allowances.

Title: OMAR AL-BAYOUMI;
Synopsis: Investigative summary of Omar Al -Bayoumi up to October 14,
2002.
Details: Omar Al-Bayoumi is a Saudi national who first arrived in the
United States in 1993. Bayoumi then returned to the United States in
1998. While living in Sa n Diego, Omar Al -Bayoumi was the owner/manager
of the Medina Al -Munarawah Mosque in El Cajon, California. Immediately
after the September 11 attacks, Omar Al -Bayoumi was identified as an
individual who had significant contacts with the flight 77 hijackers ,
Nawaf Al -Hazmi and Khalid Al -Midhar. Bayoumi assisted the hijackers
in securing an apartment at the same complex as Bayoumi in San Diego.
Bayoumi assisted the hijackers in paying for their rent for approximately
six weeks and also signed as the guarant or for their lease. Bayoumi

2 also assisted Nawaf Al -Hazmi and Khalid Al -Midhar in opening up a bank
account in close proximity to the apartment complex. It is now known
that Khalid Al -Midhar deposited $9,900 U.S. from an unknown origin into
his account on February 4, 2000, the day that Bayoumi escorted them to
the bank. An examination of the Bank of America records from February
4, 2000, of Bayoumi’s checking account and Al-Midhar’s
checking account exhibit the following transa ctions: a
cash deposit of $9,900.00 into the Al -Midhar account with no cash
withdrawal; a Bank of America withdrawal/transfer check indicating
Bayoumi’s checking account number stating ‘‘received from Bank of
America’’ $1,558.00; a Bank of America cashier’s check made out to
‘‘Parkwood Apartments ’’ in the amount of $1,558.00 purchased by Bayoumi;
a ‘‘cash receipt ’’ slip in the amount of $1,558.00; and a cash deposit
slip indicating Bayoumi’s checking account number and a $1,558.00
currency deposit. A review of Khalid Al -Midhar and Nawaf Al -Hazmi’s
bank records indicate there is no bank documentation that supports the
reimbursement of $1,558.00, or any monies to Omar Al -Bayoumi from Al -Hazmi
or Al-Midhar.
In mid-April of 2001, Omar Al -Bayoumi departed San Dieg o to
return to the United Kingdom. Al -Bayoumi told several individuals that
he was returning to Saudi Arabia. Bayoumi arrived in the United Kingdom
on April 23, and remained until June 23, 2001. Bayoumi then traveled
to Saudi Arabia on June 24 and remai ned there until July 12, 2001, when
he returns to Birmingham, England, and established a residence. While
in England, Al -Bayoumi was pursuing his education at Aston University.
After the September 11 attacks, Al -Bayoumi was identified as having
significa nt contacts with Nawaf Al -Hazmi and Khalid Al -Midhar, and SA
and SA were sent to London, England, to assist New Scotland
Yard in their investigation on Omar Al -Bayoumi. Al -Bayoumi was arrested
by New Scotland Yard and held for seven days u ntil being released.
Al-Bayoumi was released because at the time the United States nor the
United Kingdom had charges to hold Al -Bayoumi in custody.
Al-Bayoumi was initially cooperative with interviewers from
New Scotland Yard. Al -Bayoumi admitted to meeting Nawaf Al -Hazmi and
Khalid Al -Midhar in the Los Angeles area at a restaurant. Al -Bayoumi
explained this as a chance encounter. Al -Bayoumi later admitted that
Nawaf Al -Hazmi and Khalid Al -Midhar had come down to live in the San
Diego area.
After September 11, investigation determined that
Isamu Dyson, who is currently
and Mohdar M. Abdullah, who is currently in custody in San Diego awaiting
deportation to Yemen, have given detailed accounts of their contacts
with Nawaf Al -Hazmi and Khalid Al -Midhar while they were in the Los Angeles
and San Diego area.

4 population in San Diego when interviewed believed that Al -Bayoumi was
working for the Saudi Government. As of October 14, 2002, there is no
evidence that the New York or San Diego investigations has uncovered
that Omar Al -Bayoumi is affiliated or a part of the Saudi Ar abian
intelligence.
While at lunch at the Mediterranean Gourmet Restaurant, Dyson
learned through Bayoumi that Al -Hazmi and Al -Midhar had an apartment
in Los Angeles and have only been there in the United States for a short
time. Dyson recalls Al -Hazmi and Al-Midhar stating that they did not
enjoy the Los Angeles area. Al -Hazmi and Al -Midhar stated that they
were in the United States to learn English, and Al -Bayoumi had invited
them to come to San Diego to visit. Al -Bayoumi told Al -Hazmi and
Al-Midhar that they would enjoy the San Diego area. Al -Hazmi and
Al-Midhar indicated they were interested, and Al -Bayoumi provided his
phone number to Nawaf Al -Hazmi. After lunch with these individuals,
Al-Bayoumi and Dyson then drove the Culver City Mosque, also known as
the King Fahad Mosque. The King Fahad Mosque is the same mosque which
Mohdar Abdullah drove Nawaf Al -Hazmi and Khalid Al -Midhar to in April
of 2000, before Khalid Al -Midhar returned to Saudi Arabia.
Dyson again met Nawaf Al -Hazmi and Khalid Al -Midhar when they
were at the Parkwood Apartments on Mount Ada Road in San Diego. This
is the same complex that Omar Al -Bayoumi lived in. The first occasion
Dyson interacted with Al -Hazmi and Al -Midhar was at the welcoming party
that Al-Bayoumi had throw n for Al -Hazmi and Al -Midhar. Dyson recalls
that it was several weeks between the time he had met Al -Hazmi and
Al-Midhar at the Los Angeles restaurant until the welcoming party for
them in San Diego. At this party that Al -Hazmi and Al -Midhar had come
to visit San Diego and liked it, and that is when they decided to move
to San Diego.
Investigation by FBI San Diego/New York has identified Mohdar
Abdullah (currently in INS custody awaiting deportation to Yemen) also
had significant cont act with Nawaf Al -Hazmi and Khalid Al -Midhar in 2000.
Mohdar Abdullah was introduced to Al -Hazmi and Al -Midhar by Omar
Al-Bayoumi. Al -Hazmi told Mohdar that Al -Midhar and Al -Hazmi had arrived
in Los Angeles via United Airlines into the Los Angeles airpor t. Mohdar
Abdullah was unaware of the location that they stayed at in the Los Angeles
areas or how they had arrived in the San Diego area. Al -Bayoumi had
brought Al -Hazmi and Al -Midhar to an Islamic mosque located in Lemon
Grove, CA, to make the introduc tion to Mohdar Abdullah. Al -Bayoumi asked
Mohdar to look out for Al -Hazmi and Al -Midhar and to help them acclimate
to the area and help them in whatever they needed. Mohdar stated that
Al-Hazmi told him not to tell anyone that they had taken an excursion
trip to Malaysia after arriving in Bangkok. Mohdar stated that Al -Hazmi
and Al-Midhar had traveled in their Toyota to Los Angeles, however, he
did not know the purpose of the trip or the date. The blue Toyota with

Maktab Al -Ansar, an Islamic b ookseller and publisher, distributed a
videotape about recruiting and training of mujahedin to anticipate the
jihad in Chechnya against the Russians. The tape was produced in Chechnya
and was distributed worldwide. Maktab Al -Ansar book store also provide d
Tawfiq Al -Sirri, an Egyptian Islamic jihad official, videocassettes of
Usama Bin Laden’s propaganda programs, speeches, and fatwas. This book
store is located in Birmingham, UK.
Further investigation has determined that Faraj Ahmad
Najumuddi founded the Islamic Vision, which appears to be a broad -based
radical Islamic movement advocating jihad. Najumuddi is the leader of
the Islamic movement public relations office in Norway and is also known
to have close contact with terrorist groups such as the PK K, the GIA
(Armed Islamic Group), Islamic Salvation Front (FIS) and possibly Al -Gam
At Al-Islamiyah and Hamas.
Also found during this search of Bayoumi’s apartment in
Birmingham, UK, was an internal telephone list of the Saudi Embassy in
London and has the names and telephone numbers of numerous Saudi Embassy
employees in Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, London, and Saudi Arabia.
Specific individuals found in Bayoumi’s address book are Sami Al -Sadhan,
Saudi Vice Counselor in Los Angeles, CA; Sami Abdallah Al -Ibrahim is
a Deputy Counsel in Los Angeles.
From the evidence gathered by Scotland Yard, the closest friend
and business associate for Bayoumi is Saad Abd Al -Aziz Sulayman Al -Habib.
Habib is a Saudi national and the two had shared an escrow account.
Habib is an individual who bought the land for the mosque in San Diego
and gave Bayoumi the power of attorney. Bayoumi has written several
letters to Habib. Habib is also related to Mohammad Abd Al -Aziz Al-Habib,
who appears is the brother of Saad. Mohammad Al -Habib runs an investment
company in Saudi Arabia. This company wired $545,000 U.S. for the land
at the mosque in San Diego. Documents from New Scotland Yard support
that Bayoumi lived in the U.S. intermitten tly from 1993 until June 2001.
Upon his arrival, he enrolled in the International University in San
Diego to obtain a Master’s in business. At this time, Bayoumi also became
the head of the Kurdish Islamic Center in San Diego and began to work
closely wi th the Islamic Foundation of Shaykh Ibn Tammiya on Washington
Boulevard in Culver City, CA. Bayoumi initially resided at
San Diego, CA, and eventually moved to
in San Diego, CA. Bayoumi obtained a master’s
in international business in December of 1997 from United States
International University and a certificate from George Washington
University in March of 2000. Bayoumi also bought a building and began
the Medina Al Munarawah Mosque at 511 South Magnolia Street in El Cajon,
CA. Bayoumi’s documents support that he is the general supervisor of
the mosque. Financially, a check was recovered from the search in the

7 UK that Bayoumi received $5,000 U.S. in a check from the Saudi Embassy
in Washington, D.C., in 1998. The translation of the check from Arabic
to English states that the money was for the mosque in El Cajon, CA.
Also, there was correspondence between Bayoumi and the Al -Haramayn
Foundation, which is a Saudi -based Islamic NGO. In the translation of
this correspondence, it is clear that Al -Haramayn would like to appoint
the imam of the mosque in El Cajon, CA. It also appears from the documents
recovered that Saad Al -Habib wired $545,000 U.S. for the mosque.
Although it is clear th at Habib wired the money to Bayoumi to open the
mosque and it is clear that Al -Haramayn was attempting to influence the
selection of the imam and the staff at the mosque, at this time there
is no direct evidence that Al -Haramayn funded the mosque. Al -Haramayn
has been linked as a Saudi NGO which has direct ties to financing terrorist
support globally. Al -Haramayn is one of the prime financial avenues
for the Muslim fighters in Chechnya against the Russians. There is no
evidence that any of the money from the Saudi Government, Al -Haramayn,
or Bayoumi was transferred to Nawaf Al -Hazmi or Khalid Al -Midhar. There
is no evidence that any of this money at this time was used to finance
the September 11 attacks.
Bayoumi’ s main source of income is his employment with a
subcontractor of the PCA, which is the Saudi Civil Aviation Authority.
The subcontractor is Dallah Al -Baraka, which is a subsidiary of Al Baraka
Investment and Development. Dallah Al -Baraka has the mainten ance
contracts for all the airports in Saudi Arabia. Dallah Al -Baraka
subcontracts the electronic contracts to a U.S. -based company called
Avco Electronics. This partnership is formed for the electronic parts
contract called Dallah Avco. Dallah Avco lis ts Bayoumi as an auditor
for Dallah Avco, from which he receives a monthly salary. Although
Bayoumi does receive a monthly stipend from this company, there is no
evidence at this time that any of the money that Bayoumi received was
given to Nawaf Al -Hazmi or Khalid Al -Midhar in furtherance of the
September 11 attacks.
A cooperating FBI New York witness states that Hamid Al -Rashid,
who works for the PCA (Saudi Civil Aviation Authority) in Jeddah, Saudi
Arabia. Hamid Al -Rashid has been identified by the witness as an
individual who approves the salary for Omar Al -Bayoumi, who worked for
Dallah Avco. Although Bayoumi receives this monthly salary, there is
no evidence that he actually showed up for his employment in Los Angeles.
Hamid Al-Rashid is the fat her of Saud Al -Rashid,
and who has admitted to
being in Afghanistan for charitable works between May of 2000 until May
of 2001. FBI NYO has not seen the search results from this
, but has learned that
Again, there is no direct
evidence that links any of the money that Hamid Al -Rashid authorizes

8 for Omar Al -Bayoumi that was used in the further ance of any terrorist
support at this time.
Investigation into Al -Bayoumi’s ties to September 11
hijackers continues. Although there is evidence that Al -Bayoumi did
pay for Nawaf Al -Hazmi and Khalid Al -Midhar’s rent for approximately
one month and did secure the lease for Nawaf Al -Hazmi and Khalid Al -Midhar,
there is no evidence that Bayoumi had the knowledge that his support
of Nawaf Al -Hazmi and Khalid Al -Midhar in this fashion were in furtherance
of the September 11 attacks. There are also multiple financial ties
between the Saudi Government and Omar Al -Bayoumi, but there is no evidence
that any of the monies from the Saudi Government which were paid to Omar
Al-Bayoumi for his no -show job were used in furtherance of terrorist
support or a terrorist act. There is no evidence at this time that Bayoumi
was a Saudi intelligence officer.
Investigation continues.

called by OMAR AL-BAYOUMI. Prometric Testing
Center administers various tests to include,
professional license examinations, GED
examinations, the TOEFL examination (language
proficiency) and had administered pilot's
license examination in the past.
San Diego FBI contacted Prometric
