9/11 records request in ongoing case

There are still cases and secrets in the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade towers, as you might imagine.

Read this interesting article at the Florida Bulldog.  Among other things:

The report describes how in late 2012 federal prosecutors and FBI agents in New York were targeting an apparent U.S. support network for two of the 9/11 hijackers – Saudis Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar – who were among the five terrorists who crashed American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon. Specifically, the report says authorities were actively looking to charge a suspect with providing material support to the 9/11 hijackers and other crimes.

The four-page report was a stunner. Former Florida Sen. Bob Graham, co-chair of Congress’s Joint Inquiry, said, “It’s to the contrary of almost everything the FBI has produced so far that has indicated that 9/11 is history.” And Sean Carter, the Cozen O’Connor attorney who signed the subpoena, said, “We’ve been repeatedly told by U.S. officials that all questions of Saudi involvement were resolved by the 9/11 Commission and now you have confirmation that there was an active investigation happening years after the 9/11 Commission shut its doors” in August 2004.

“[Redacted] is an investigation into individuals known to have provided substantial assistance to 9/11 hijackers Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar during their time in California,” the report says. It goes on to list three “main subjects” of the probe, including Fahad al-Thumairy and Omar al-Bayoumi. The third name was censored for national security reasons, but appears to be someone who was highly placed.

Thumairy, a Saudi diplomat, was an imam at Los Angeles’ King Fahd Mosque when the two future hijackers first arrived in the U.S. in January 2000. The report says Thumairy “immediately assigned an individual to take care of them during their time in Los Angeles.” Bayoumi, a suspected Saudi agent who befriended Hazmi and Mihdhar in Southern California, was also tasked with assisting the hijackers, the report says.

Those assertions are of particular interest in the New York litigation. In addition to the 2012 report, the subpoena demands “any and all records referring or relating to the person(s) “who tasked al-Thumairy and al-Bayoumi with assisting the hijackers.”
