FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION
Full Investigation Initiated: 08/28/2007
Details: Documented below is the contents of a working
document outlining the results of the captioned investigations.
It is important to note that this is a document that is
currently being worked on by investigators and analytical staff
and should be viewed currently as a incomplete document.
For Background
On 06/28/2007, a subfile under the PENTTBOM
investigation was opened by NYO to contain information garnered
from the planned exploitation of intelligence targets, which were
previously identified during the PENTTBOM investigation. The
PENTTBOM investigation had functioned as both a criminal
investigation and an intelligence gathering operation into the
9/11 terrorist attacks. However, there remained individuals with
various levels of connectivity to the 9/11 hijackers whom could
be further exploited for additional intelligence value. By
revisiting some aspects of the PENTTBOM investigation, NYO opined
that certain Al Qaeda (AQ) tactics and tradecraft could be
revealed.
Specifically, the NYO was interested in gaining a
greater understanding of 9/11 hijackers KHALID AL- MIHDHAR and
NAWAF AL-HAZMI's past interaction with and connectivity to the
local (i.e. southern Californian) Muslim community. Such an
understanding would assist in explaining the apparent ease with
which AL-MIHDHAR and AL-HAZMI exploited that community to gain
support and safe harbor.
Operation Encore (FI) was eventually opened in
New York to fully investigate the emerging network uncovered
during the initial investigation conducted under PENTBOM.
Further, full investigations were initiated to
investigate Fahad Al- Thumairy, Omar Ahmed Al- Bayoumi, and Musaed
Al-Jarrah, due to their association with 9/11 hijackers Nawaf Al
Hazmi and Khalid Al- Mihdhar. There is a significant amount of
information uncovered through phone analysis, financial
analysis, and numerous interviews that suggests the
aforementioned subjects assisted the hijackers, in a
support/logistics role while they were in the United States,
preparing for the 9/11 attacks. They are suspected of providing
EO14040-000604-UPDATED

Re: 01/15/2010
the hijackers with financial assistance, obtaining drivers
licenses and living quarters, spiritual guidance, and locating
flight schools.
Logical investigation conducted through
Operation Encore, Fahad Al- Thumairy, Omar Ahmed Al-Bayoumi, and
separately Musaed Al-Jarrah, it has been uncovered that Musaed
Al Jarrah may have played a leadership role in the overall
coordination of logistics support for 9/11 hijackers Nawaf Al
Hazmi and Khalid Al- Mihdhar. This was possible through Al-
Jarrah's position as Head of Islamic Affairs at the Saudi
Arabian Embassy in Washington D.C. Al- Jarrah oversaw the
handling of the hijackers through his subordinates Fahad Al-
Thumairy and Omar Ahmed Al-Bayoumi and by personal contact with
the hijackers on numerous occasions.
It has come to the attention of the NYO that
Musaed Al-Jarrah currently holds the position of Head of Islamic
Affairs at the Saudi Arabian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
It was further uncovered that Al- Jarrah has concentrated his
attention on the assistance of Youth Groups during his tenure at
the Saudi Arabian Embassy, Kuala Lumpur.
Operation Encore has identified Adel Al- Sadhan
and Mutaib Al-Sudairy as facilitators to the 9/11/2001
hijackers.

Re: 01/15/2010
On or about February 3, 2000, an unknown male
and OMAR ALBAYOUMI assisted NAWAF ALHAZMI and KHALID ALMIHDHAR
in obtaining a lease at the Parkwood Apartments in San Diego,
CA. The next day, ALHAZMI and ALMIHDHAR attempted to pay for the
apartment with cash, but were advised by the rental office that
they would need to use a cashier's check. Also on this February
3, THUMAIRY called (unknown subscriber) 6 times and
FAISAL ALMUHANNA called it once. (NOTE: WHOSE NUMBER
IS THIS????? THUMAIRY called it 13x beginning on 1/30/00 through
2/3/00 - that's it)
According to an interview of
(FD-302 dated 8/16/2002): "Initially, Nawaf Al-Hazmi and Khalid
Al-Mihdhar came into the rental office of the Parkwood Apartment
Complex with an unknown middle eastern male, looking for a two-
bedroom apartment sometime during the end of January 2000 or
beginning of February 2000. Because Al-Hazmi and Al-Mihdhar did
not speak English well they needed someone to interpret for
them. believed that this unknown male was employed by
Alliant University in San Diego, California, as an aide or
counselor in the International Studies Department. This unknown
male was described as being approximately in his 30's or 40's,
5'9"-5'11", skull cap." Additionally, "Al-Hazmi and Al-Mihdhar
wanted to move into an apartment the same day that they walked
into the rental office, however advised them that they
needed a co-signer/guarantor and a bank statement showing that
they had enough assets to pay for the rent." Since "Al-Hazmi and
Al-Mihdhar did not have a credit history, and according to Al-
Bayoumi they were staying with him because they just came into
the country, he would be the co- signer and act as the guarantor.
Al-Bayoumi emphasized that they needed to get an apartment right
away. Al-Hazmi and Al-Mihdhar came into the rental office on
three different days prior to actually moving into the apartment
on February 5, 2000." "On the second occasion when Al- Hazmi and
Al-Mihdhar came into the rental office they had a 'wad of cash'
to pay for the first month's rent, deposit and insurance.
re-advised them that they had to have a bank account
statement to show that they can pay for the rent since they did
not have any employment or credit history. Additionally, they
were told that could not accept cash on the first
payment and would need a certified check, cashier's check or
money order." "It was on February 4, 2000, that Al- Hazmi and Al-

Mihdhar came into the office with a bank statement and cash."
"On February 5, 2002 [sic], Al- Hazmi and Al- Mihdhar came into
the Parkwood office however, they did not have enough cash with
them to pay for the apartment. Al- Hazmi and Al- Mihdhar left and
returned with Al-Bayoumi, who filled out the section on the
rental agreement as the co- signer and guarantor. Since Al- Hazmi
and Al-Mihdhar did not have enough cash nor did they have a
cashier's check, money order or certified check, Al- Bayoumi left
and returned with a cashier's check, in his name, made payable
to the Parkwood Apartments in the amount of $1,558.00."
According to an interview of (FD-302 dated
9/18/2001), "remembers renting an apartment to two Middle
Eastern men in approximately January to March 2000."
reported that there was "another male individual who acted as a
translator on approximately four occasions for Almihdar and
Alhazmi. He was described as a light-complected Middle Eastern
male, approximately 5'6", 160 pounds, 27- 28 years of age, wore
glasses and a jewish yamaka (sic)."
On February 4, 2000, Bayoumi obtained a
cashier's check payable to the Parkwood Apartments for $1,558
and deposited the same amount in cash to his Bank of America
account reportedly was in the bank with Khalid and
Nawaf around 1:30-1:40pm ( ).
Reviewing phone activity around the time that
the hijackers obtained their apartment is instructive. On
February 4, 2000, at 2:30, Anwar Aulaqi (Ribat, 619- 589-6200)
called , call duration 2 minutes.
Aulaqi's next call from 619- 589-6200, at 2:33, was to Bank of
America, Villa La Jolla Drive (858-452-8400), duration 1 minute.
At 4:40 p.m., Albayoumi's cell called Aulaqi's
home number duration 1 minute; at 4:42 p.m.,
Albayoumi's cell called the payphone at the
Ar-Ribat Mosque, 619- 464-9428, duration 1 minute; at 4:43 p.m.,
Albayoumi's cell called Ar- Ribat Mosque (fax) 619-

obtaining drivers licenses and living quarters, spiritual guidance, and locating flight schools.
Logical investigation conducted through Operation
Encore, Fahad Al-Thumairy, Omar Ahmed Al-Bayoumi, and separately Musaed Al-Jarrah , it has been uncovered that Musaed Al Jarrah may
have played a leadership role in the overall coordination of logistics support for 9/11 hijackers Nawaf Al Hazmi and Khalid Al-Mihdhar. This was possible through Al-Jarrah's position as Head of Islamic Affairs at the Saudi Arabian Embassy in Washington D.C.

called it 13x beginning on 1/30/00 through 2/3/00 - that's it)
According to an interview of (FD-302
dated 8/16/2002): "Initially, Nawaf Al-Hazmi and Khalid Al-Mihdhar came into the rental office of the Parkwood Apartment Complex with an unknown middle eastern male, looking for a two-bedroom apartment sometime during the end of January 2000 or beginning of February 2000. Because Al-Hazmi and Al-Mihdhar did not speak English well they needed someone to interpret for them. believed that
this unknown male was employed by Alliant University in San Diego, California, as an aide or counselor in the International Studies Department. This unknown male was described as being approximately in his 30's or 40's, 5'9"-5'11", skull cap." Additionally, "Al-Hazmi and Al-Mihdhar wanted to move into an apartment the same day that they walked into the rental office, however advised them
that they needed a co-signer/guarantor and a bank statement showing that they had enough assets to pay for the rent." Since "Al-Hazmi and Al-Mihdhar did not have a credit history, and according to Al-Bayoumi they were staying with him because they just came into the country, he would be the co-signer and act as the guarantor. Al-Bayoumi emphasized that they needed to get an apartment right away. Al-Hazmi and Al-Mihdhar came into the rental office on three different days prior to actually moving into the apartment on February 5, 2000." "On the second occasion when Al-Hazmi and Al-Mihdhar came into the rental office they had a 'wad of cash' to pay for the first month's rent, deposit and insurance. re-advised them that
they had to have a bank account statement to show that they can pay for the rent since they did not have any employment or credit history. Additionally, they were told that could not accept cash
on the first payment and would need a certified check, cashier's check or money order." "It was on February 4, 2000, that Al-Hazmi and Al-Mihdhar came into the office with a bank statement and cash." "On February 5, 2002 [sic], Al-Hazmi and Al-Mihdhar came into the Parkwood office however, they did not have enough cash with them to pay for the apartment. Al-Hazmi and Al-Mihdhar left and returned with Al-Bayoumi, who filled out the section on the rental agreement as the co-signer and guarantor. Since Al-Hazmi and Al-Mihdhar did not have enough cash nor did they have a cashier's check, money order or certified check, Al-Bayoumi left and returned with a cashier's check, in his name, made payable to the Parkwood Apartments in the amount of $1,558.00."

SUBJECT: INEXORABLE/POSTDILUVIAN - TO REPORT INFORMATION
ON OPERATION ENCORE.
DEATILS: ON 24 FEBRUARY 2010, THE FBI BRIEFED
REPRESENTATIVES FROM CTC/GJ AT LANGLEY REGARDING OPERATION ENCORE
THE BELOW INFORMATION
SERVES TO SUMMARIZE THIS BRIEFING.
ON 28 JUNE 2007, A SUBFILE UNDER THE PENTTBOM
INVESTIGATION WAS OPENED BY FBI NEW YORK TO CONTAIN INFORMATION GARNERED FROM THE PLANNED EXPLOITATION OF INTELLIGENCE TARGETS PREVIOUSLY IDENTIFIED DURING THE PENTTBOM INVESTIGATION.
THE PENTTBOM INVESTIGATION FUNCTIONED AS BOTH A CRIMINAL
INVESTIGATION AND AN INTELLIGENCE GATHERING OPERATION INTO THE
9/11 TERRORIST ATTACKS. HOWEVER, THERE REMAINED INDIVIDUALS WITH VARIOUS LEVELS OF CONNECTIVITY TO THE 9/11 HIJACKERS WHOM COULD BE FURTHER EXPLOITED FOR ADDITIONAL INTELLIGENCE VALUE. BY REVISITING SOME ASPECTS OF THE PENTTBOM INVESTIGATION, THE FBI
BELIEVED THAT CERTAIN AL -QAEDA TACTICS AND TRADECRAFT COULD BE
REVEALED.
SPECIFICALLY, THE FBI WAS INTERESTED IN GAINING A GREATER
UNDERSTANDING OF 9/11 HIJACKERS KHALID AL -MIHDHAR AND NAWAF
AL-HAZMI'S PAST INTERACTION WITH AND CONNECTIVITY TO THE LOCAL
(SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAN) MUSLIM COMMUNITY. SUCH AN UNDERSTANDINGWOULD ASSIST IN EXPLAINING THE APPARENT EASE WITH WHICHAL-MIHDHAR AND AL -HAZMI EXPLOITED THAT COMMUNITY TO GAIN
ASSISTANCE AND SAFE HARBOR.

AL-BAYOUMI MAY HAVE PROVIDED THEM WITH A CELL PHONE.
ALSO INDICATES THAT FOR A PERIOD OF TIME AL SADHAN AND
AL SUDAIRY LIVED AT THE SAME ADDRESS IN SAN DIEGO WHERE AL -HAZMI
AND AL -MIHDHAR WOULD LATER STAY.
THE COMMUNICATIONS AND ACTIVITIES OF AL -THUMAIRY,
AL-JARRAH, AND AL -BAYOUMI IN THE WEEKS PRECEDING THE HIJACKERS'
ARRIVAL IN LOS ANGELES ON 15 JANUARY 2000 IS TELLING.
SPECIFICALLY, IN DECEMBER 1999 THERE WAS A UNIQUE PATTERN OF
TELEPHONIC CONTACT THAT OPERATION ENCORE INVESTIGATORS REFER TO
AS "THE SET- UP CALLS" CALLS THAT OCCURRED BETWEEN A NUMBER OF
INDIVIDUALS WHO WOULD LATER PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN ASSISTING THE HIJACKERS. DURING A THREE -DAY PERIOD AT THE END OF DECEMBER
1999, AL- THUMAIRY MADE VARIOUS PHONE CALLS THAT DO NOT APPEAR TO
HAVE BEEN DUPLICATED PRIOR TO NOR AFTER THIS DATE. DURING THIS
TIME FRAME, AL -THUMAIRY ONLY PLACED CALLS TO THE SAUDI ARABIAN
EMBASSY IN WASHINGTON, DC (WHERE AL -JARRAH WAS EMPLOYED), OMAR
AL-BAYOUMI, ANWAR AULAQI AND THE AL -RIBAT MOSQUE IN SAN DIEGO
WHERE AULAQI WAS THE IMAM.
ON 12 DECEMBER 1999 ABDULLAH AL -JRAITHEN, A SAUDI
RELIGIOUS SCHOLAR, ENTERED THE US IN NEW YORK AND CONTINUED TO LOS ANGELES, LISTING "HOLIDAY INN, LOS ANGELES" AS HIS INTENDED DESTINATION. AL -JRAITHEN AND AL -BAYOUMI CHECKED INTO A
TRAVELODGE HOTEL TOGETHER IN CULVER CITY, CA ON 20 DECEMBER 1999
AND CHECKED OUT THE NEXT DAY. THIS TRAVELODGE HOTEL WAS
REPORTEDLY OFTEN USED BY THE KING FAHAD MOSQUE TO HOUSE VISITORS.
(NOTE: AN ADDITIONAL HOTEL REGISTRATION WAS FOUND AT THIS SAME
TRAVELODGE FOR ABDULLAH ALGHAMDI WHO STAYED AT THE HOTEL FROM 8
MAY 2001 TO 15 MAY 2001. AHMED ALGHAMDI AND HAZMA ALGHAMDI WERE
TWO OF THE HIJACKERS ON UNITED AIRLINES FLIGHT 175 AND SAEED ALGHAMDI WAS ONE OF THE HIJACKERS ON UNITED AIRLINES FLIGHT 93.)
AL-BAYOUMI CHECKED INTO THIS SAME TRAVELODGE HOTEL AGAIN ON 9
JANUARY 2000, THE NEXT MONTH, ABOUT A WEEK PRIOR TO THE
HIJACKERS' ARRIVAL. AL -BAYOUMI CHECKED IN AND THEN CHECKED OUT
AFTER APPROXIMATELY TWENTY MINUTES. HE THEN CHECKED INTO THE
HALF -MOON HOTEL FOR ONE NIGHT. THIS SEQUENCE OF EVENTS SEEMS TO
IMPLY HE CONFUSED THE HOTELS. WHILE AT THE HALF -MOON HOTEL,
AL-BAYOUMI MADE A SERIES OF CALLING CARD CALLS UNTIL ABOUT
3:00AM. TELEPHONE RECORDS REVEALED NO DURATION ON THE CALLS,
WHICH INVESTIGATORS BELIEVE INDICATES AL -BAYOUMI WAS EITHER
CHECKING THE MINUTES THAT WERE UNUSED ON THE CARDS OR LEARNING HOW TO USE THEM BY LISTENING TO THE AUTOMATED PROMPTS.

THE SAME INDIVIDUALS CALLED BY AL -THUMAIRY IN LATE -DECEMBER 1999.
HIJACKERS AL -HAZMI AND AL -MIHDHAR LANDED IN LOS
ANGELES ON 15 JANUARY 2000. THE FIRST PLACE THEY VISITED WAS THE
KING FAHAD MOSQUE IN CULVER CITY, CA WHERE AL -THUMAIRY WAS THE
IMAM. IN LATE JANUARY 2000, THEY MET OMAR AL -BAYOUMI IN LOS
ANGELES AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER MOVED TO SAN DIEGO, WHERE
AL-BAYOUMI RESIDED. AL -BAYOUMI CO- SIGNED A RENTAL LEASE
AGREEMENT FOR THE HIJACKERS IN SAN DIEGO AND ASSISTED THEM IN
SETTING UP BANK ACCOUNTS. AGAIN, PATTERNS OF PHONE CALLS AROUND THIS TIME ARE INSTRUCTIVE. CALL RECORDS INDICATE THAT ABOUT THE
TIME THE HIJACKERS LEFT LOS ANGELES AND ARRIVED IN SAN DIEGO,
AL-BAYOUMI'S PHONE ACTIVITY WITH MUSAED AL -JARRAH INCREASED WHILE
THE PHONE CONTACT BETWEEN AL -THUMAIRY AND AL - JARRAH DIMINISHED.
TELEPHONE RECORDS SHOW THAT AL -BAYOUMI CALLED MUTAIB
AL SUDAIRY FIVE TIMES SUBSEQUENT TO MEETING THE HIJACKERS IN LOS
ANGELES. THE DATES OF THE CALLS ARE SIGNIFICANT. THE FIRST SET
OF CALLS OCCURRED ON 24 JANUARY, 26 JANUARY, AND 30 JANUAR Y 2000
ON THESE PARTICULAR DAYS AL -BAYOUMI MET THE HIJACKERS IN CULVER
CITY, CA AND TALKED TO THEM ABOUT COMING TO SAN DIEGO. THE NEXT
CALL OCCURRED ON 2 FEBRUARY 2000. ON 4 FEBRUARY 2000 AL -BAYOUMI
CO-SIGNED THE LEASE AGREEMENT FOR THE HIJACKERS' APARTMENT AND
BROUGHT THEM TO A BANK OF AMERICA TO ASSIST IN OPENING A BANK ACCOUNT. THE LAST CALL OCCURRED ON 7 FEBRUARY 2000. BY THIS
DATE, ALL OF AL -HAZMI AND AL -MIHDHAR'S AFFAIRS WERE IN ORDER.
SOMETIME IN 2000, AL SADHAN MOVED TO LAWRENCE, KANSAS
AND AL SUDAIRY MOVED TO COLUMBUS, MISSOURI. WHILE IN MISSOURI,
AL SUDAIRY LIVED WITH ZIYAD KHALEEL FOR ABOUT FOUR MONTHS IN 2000. KHALEEL WAS A KNOWN KEY COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT

APPEAR INTERESTED IN LEARNING ENGLISH AND HIS PEERS BELIEVED HE
WAS A SAUDI ARABIAN INTELLIGENCE AGENCY OFFICER.
ON 12/8/2000, A THIRD HIJACKER, HANI HANJOUR, ARRIVED
IN SAN DIEGO AND LEFT WITH AL -HAZMI FOR PHOENIX, ARIZONA.

Details: In 2004, FBI Los Angeles began reviewing PENTTBOM
leads and related investigations. The purpose of the
investigation was to identify 9/11 hijacker's Khaled Al -Mihdar
(AL-MIHDHAR) and Nawaf Al -Hazmi's (AL -HAZMI)(American Airlines
#77 that crashed into the Pentagon) whereabouts in Los Angeles
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 Inter national Airport (LAX)
security cameras for 06/10/2000. The video surveillance footage
shows San Diego Subject MOHDAR ABDULLAH and
AL-HAZMI walking with AL -MIHDHAR at LAX before AL -MIHDHAR's return
trip to Yemen to visit his family. More importantly, this footage
also shows one additional unknown male subject (UNSUB) who appears
to be accompanying ABDULLAH, AL -HAZMI and AL -MIHDHAR through LAX
security. The UNSUB appears to be holding a camera and may have
been conducting reconnaissance of LAX.
Per on approximately
9/29/06, San Diego AUSA advised that he had
received an unsolicited telephone call from a
reporter for the San Die go Union Tribune. During their telephone
conversation, which centered on the upcoming sentencing of an
individual convicted of a terrorism hoax, advised that

believed to be in Yemen .) advised that she had asked
ABDULLAH about the recent NBC news article published on 09/11/06
regarding ABDULLAH's role in helping 9/11 hijackers Nawaf AL -HAZMI
and Khalid AL -MIHDHAR. (Note -
)
advised that ABDULLAH did not answer any
of her specific questions but related the following points:

a telephone number that was found in the records folder for Nawaf was
Investigation determined that Prince Nawaf Al -Saud was
possibly attending Santa Monica College and UCLA extension while he was
living in Los Angeles. Prince Nawaf Al -Saud that he may have had a small
staff of people working for him as well. Otherwise, he did not have many
"outside" friends and kept close to family members and other co usins.
It is believed that Prince Nawaf Al Saud is currently
in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and has a home telephone number of
and a mobile number of It is
believed that Prince Nawaf Al Saud is engaged and lives in Jed dah. Los
Angeles believes that Prince Nawaf Al Saud is considered a "poor prince"

Los Angeles believes that Prince Nawaf Al Saud and
his brother Meteb are not the individuals in the 06/10/2000 LAX
video with 9/ 11 hijackers AL -MIHDHAR and AL -HAZMI. However, based
on the telephone calls made between 06/04/2000 -06/12/2000 from the user
of one of Prince Nawaf Al Saud's telephones to where AL -HAZMI and AL -MIHDHAR
were residing; and the three calls initiated on 06/05/ 2000 from where
the AL-HAZMI and AL -MIHDHAR were residing to one of Prince Nawaf Al Saud's
telephone; and the UNSUB seen in the 06/10/2000 LAX Video with the
hijackers, Los Angeles' believes the following scenarios are
possible:
1. An individual that was around, associated or worked for Prince Nawaf
Al Saud is the UNSUB in the June, 2000 LAX video. This individual may
have been the user of Prince Nawaf Al Saud's other telephone. Los Angeles
believes that this is the most likely s cenario.
2. An individual that was around, associated or worked for Prince Nawaf
Al Saud brother Meteb Al Saud is the UNSUB in June,2000 LAX Video. This
individual may have used Prince Nawaf Al Saud's brother's Meteb's
telephone.
3. Prince Nawaf Al Sau d was the individual who was calling the hijackers
at that time, but his association with them was not related to the LAX
Video.
4. There is another possible explanation not determined as yet.

is essential to properly conduct a review interview and
In addition, due
to the nature of this project, intelligence gathering not criminal
investigation, the personal rapport of the interviewers will be even
more critical. collecting information fr om
these individuals will be a building process that necessitates
participation of the same individuals. Therefore, the traditionally
method of setting leads to be covered by a variety of individuals in
various locations is unlikely to be as successful as employing the same
individuals for all interviews. Being that New York is currently assigned
the PENTTBOM the responsibility and the opportunity falls to New York.
Nevertheless, New York has and will continue to coordinate efforts with
the relevant fiel d offices and their respective agents to achieve the
above-described goals.

fact that the activities and whereabouts of ALHAZMI and ALMIHDHAR
from 01/15/00 to 02/04/0 0 are still in question and that this review
may result in additional leads to follow regarding this issue.
At this time, San Diego proposes to establish a
working group which would consist primarily of San Diego agents and
analysts but would also invite Los Angeles agents with
expert/historical knowledge regarding the activities of ALHAZMI and
ALMIHDHAR while in Los Angeles.
The principle focus of the working group would be
to identify previously unknown associates or contacts related to
ALHAZMI and ALMIHDHAR's stay in the Los Angeles and San Diego area
from January through December, 2000 and determine their threat to
national security or their asset potential.
It is anticipated that San Diego would conduct the
following:
- Review of to ll records for Omar ALBAYOUMI, Mohdar
ABDULLAH, , and other associates, with
subsequent submission of GJ subpoenas and/or for
unknown subscribers
- Telephone link analysis of San Diego PENTTBOM
subjects
- Review of e -mail/computer informat ion from San
Diego PENTTBOM subjects
- Review of San Diego PENTTBOM subjects to identify
subjects to be re -interviewed or new subject/

Re: 10/03/2001
2 Lemon Grove, California. Based upon the above, San Diego surmises that the
phone number intended to be investigated was actually not
. This may be due to key stroke error or erroneous infor mation
provided by the caller.
As part of the investigation in San Diego, Shaikh was interviewed
at length on three occasions. The dates of the interviews are as follows:
09/14/2001 ( ); 09/24/2001 ( ); and 09/26/2001 (
). Due to their length and the vast amount of information contained therein,
no hard copies of the FD -302s are enclosed. However, they should be reviewed
through ACS for lead value and pertinent information.
In summary, Shaikh has lived in the San Dieg o area for approximately
30 years. He is one of the founders of the Islamic Center of San Diego (ICSD).
He currently lives at Lemon Grove, California. He often
takes in students and boarders at his home. During 2000, Shaikh allowed h ijackers
NAWAF ALHAZMI and KHALID ALMIHDAR to rent rooms at his residence. Shaikh claimed
to have no knowledge of their terrorist activities or associations.
According to Shaikh, Alhazmi lived at the residence for approximately
five months and moved out on December 10, 2000. He later received an e -mail
from Alhazmi in January 2001, indicating that Alhazmi was in Arizona taking
a pilot's course. Almihdar lived at the residence for approximately one month,
September 2000. He left indicating that he w as returning to Saudi Arabia.
Shaikh never heard from Almihdar again.
Shaikh met OMAR AL -BAYOUMI in approximately 1994. He provided
background information regarding Al -Bayoumi. Shaikh also rented a room to
OMAR BAKARBASHAT aka OMAR SALEH. He rented the room starting in mid -August
2001. Bakarbashat was still living at the residence when the FBI arrested
him as a material witness in captioned matter. Bakarbashat was an associate
of Alhazmi and Almihdar. Bakarbashat told Shaikh that he "helped people" in
a financial context. However, Bakarbashat seemed to have little financial
resources himself. In hindsight, Shaikh thinks that this comment may have
pertained to Bakarbashat's relationship with Alhazmi and Almihdar, and that
he may have been a conduit between them and whoever was funding their terrorist
activities.
On 09/11/2001, while Shaikh and Bakarbashat were watching television
coverage of the terrorist events together, Shaikh expressed shock and horror.
He expressed how tragic he thought the events to be. Bakarbashat seemed
indifferent and showed no emotion. Their friendship deteriorated after this.
Shaikh is cooperative and allowed his home to be sea rched. San
Diego does not consider Shaikh a subject at this time. For further details,
see referenced serials.
San Diego considers this lead covered.
