Pennsylvania. After exhaustive studies by congress and the 9 11 commission, there are questions we are still asking today. Who really helped the 19 men . Who helped them to move around our country largely undetected . And was this man, american born cleric anwar al alack can i at the center of the plot for 9 11. Is he the new bin laden . We begin our report with kathryn herrige. January 5th 2000. Kuala lumpur malaysia, in a condo overlooking a beautifully designed golf course at least a dozen of Osama Bin Ladens hijackers gathered for a meeting. The purpose, discuss details in the upcoming plots to bomb the u. S. S. Cole in the gulf of aiden and the attack plans for 9 11. It was a terror summit. Since the 1998 bombings of the u. S. Embassies in tanzania and kenya which killed over 200, the nsa has captured and recorded phone calls made from a specific house in yemen. It was some 60 miles outside of the capital. The house was Osama Bin Ladens operation center. The call came in and the tussauds diswho had hijacked American Airlines flight 77 that would slam into the pentagon headed for the country club. Photos were taken at the terror summit which remain classified to this day. R as day. I remember looking at them. Mark racini was a cia agent. That meeting was surveilled because there had been a communication from the station to kuala lumpur station. These people were coming in. Follow them. Take their photographs. See what theyre theyre going, and thats what happened. We had no idea what they were doing, but we knew some of them had visasw. K to the u. S. But then the cia refused to share those with other agencies such as the fbi and the Border Patrol which allowed twonr to literally walk into the United States through los angeles airport a week after the summit of terrorism concluded. We blew it basically . We blew it with that advanced notice. We could have gotten a listening device in the condominium unit. George tenant the director of the cia had just said that al qaeda and bin laden was the number one priority agency and that every effort should be given to corralling them before they attacked us. Former senator bob graham joined with porter goss to join congressional inquiry into the attacks of 9 11. This was half million documents 300 interviews and 22 hearings which finished in december of 2002. It dove deeply before and after the attack. Graham wrote the claim Intelligence Matters and keys to the kingdom. That was one of the recurring themes of 9 11 that is, the right hand not talking to the left hand. This is probably one of the most painful things about me or things that i regret. I could not tell the bureau about what we were talking about without getting approval from the bosses at alex station to tell the fbi because it was cia protected information only. After the terror summit finished, 23yearold hosni and 24yearold midar arrived at l. A. X. On january 2000. Unlike Osama Bin Laden, he was 14 years old on a Family Vacation in 1981 these tussauds dishad never been to america. What was so significant about them . They were the first of the 19 to come not United States. Number two, they almost immediately began receiving substantial assistance from the saudi government or representatives of the saudi government. Meet omar, a saudi citizen living in san diego. He was one of the first people to help the hijackers on our shores. In this highly redacted fbi classified document, he had been in the u. S. On a student visa since 1993. Is there any record that he was a student in the United States . He professed that he was a student. I checked with the university that he said he attended. They had no record of his activity as a student. As a reporter for the san diego tribune, Kelly Thornton was aware of him. He was thought to be by some a saudi spy spying on other saudis for the saudi government. He often had a camera. Baoumi was also collecting a salary for a subsidiary of the saudi aviation company. There was this story. When baoumi comes up to san diego at the request of the saudi consulate in los angeles, we dont know what happened in the onehour meeting that they had, but as soon as the meeting was over, baoumi and his driver went to a specific restaurant, ended up at a table next to the two hijackers which led to him asking if he would be interested in relocating from los angeles to san diego which they did do. How unusual is it that they had a meeting with two hijackers. We had statisticians do a probability that four people would end up at the same place at the same time and it was in the more than 5 million to 1 category. 5 million to 1 . Remember the first two hijackers know nothing about getting around california and speak no english. But the ever helpful baoumi had someone in mind. He enlisted a student at the community college. Kelly thornton is one of the few people who interviewed modar. He told me that omar is the one that asked him to do that. He was also asked to help them acclimate to the United States. Hijackers didnt speak so well. He was asked to help them get drivers license, Social Security numbers, that kind of thing. Though they walked into the country legally his 1998 entry from the u. S. To canada was anything but legal. He presented a yemeni passport as proof of citizen sp. Shortly after receiving his u. S. Visa he travels to san diego. Within a week of his arrival hes filing for assistance. He said he came in through new york utilizing a fraudulent passport. Franco de paolo. Frank the chicken. Pat brandy had been a Flight Instructor for 26 years. Why do you believe that plane is the plane that they flew . These are the only tests that we were doing at the time. That would be the bird right there. What would it be like to know that you had found in the same plane as the hijackers did nchs at first it was an eerie feeling. They moved to the parkwide apartments and baoumi signed the lease. Buried on page 517 in a footnote is a reference to four phone calls on february 4th 2000, between omar and a local imam. Anwaral alaki. Intell wires john burger and author of guy had joe had filed several papers in the past. He had been involved with suspicious charities. They decided he wasnt worth investigating anymore so they dropped. What was the relationship like between him and the two hijackers in san diego . The assumption was that it was a Close Relationships and alaki may have been one of the few people that hosni shared with what they were there for and get the plot to you. And low and behold there was a time period i was analyzing phone numbers. In an exclusive interview with fox news, jim bush explained how he discovered the links in the phone numbers. There was a phone call to miamis phone and listed and says al baoumi says i a took them and put them in storage. Its always speculation that there was contact at that time. Who was at a welcoming party that omar at ally bank no branches equals great rates. Its a fact. Kind of like mute buttons equal danger. That sound good . Not being on this phone call sounds good. Its not muted. Was that you jason . It was geoffrey it was jason. It couldve been brenda. The first two hijackers hosni and midar took to living large in san diego courtesy of his wallet. The lifestyle of hosni and mitra became very expensive. Among other things they liked to go to bars. They spent a lot of money. In fact, hosni wanted to marry one of the strippers that he met at the bar. Baoumi had been one of the individuals that was the subject of a Counter Terror investigation. He ends up being very helpful. From the joint congressional inquiry, executive director eleanor hill remembers details that now shine a bright light on the network. Joint inquiry shows the monies of the two hijackers yet the 9 11 report says the hijackers paid them on the spot. Our investigation did not find any records to support the argument that they had reimbursed baoumi. Bayoumi held a party for the hijackers. He taped it. Theres a tender circle of key muslims, saudis. The videos cameraman was a wealthy 22yearold, clayton morgan. He became known as ismay odyson. A trust fund kid who had gone through well they. If i tried to they said it was being used in an ongoing investigation. Certainly it would seem that Anwar Al Alaki was in it. I wouldnt be surprised if he was there. He was connected to these guys. He was sort of a spiritual mentor to them while they were at the mosque on the border. In a bizarre twice the new hijackers moved into this. Very important figure in this plot. I had recently gone through a difficult divorce and had a large vacant house. Meet fbi seat sheik who is still living in california. In 2000 he was a 65 indian born director. At local Community Colleges fax news could not remember where he got Commission Investigators interviewed him. In a sense he was doing to the United States what bayoumi was doing for saudi arabia. You had the anomaly of two of the future hijackers living in the home of a paid fbi asset. Have you ever reported people to the fbi . He told me he mentioned their first names. He was one of the several people that was never made available to our inquiry. Why did the fbi deny you access . The Asset Program was so sensitive that they didnt want to have any disclosure. Now i found that to be a rather disingenuous answer given the fact that this march was being x l q handsomely. He got a severance pay of 100,000 at the end of this and yet he had two of the hijackers living in his home and apparently never told anybody. Then there was a lot of negotiation which at one point had shaik saying i will testify if you will give me7h immunity from any future prosecution. I think the only thick you can conclude is that he felt he had very damaging information. That he want the immunity from something and that something had to do with his relationship with these two hijackers. Did you ever speak with the fbi director Robert Muller about that block . Absolutely. Hes the one who said the reason were not giving you access to shaid is because our Asset Program is very valuable and we cannot have any outside intrusion into it. Did you feel that was an honest answer . Well that was the directors answer. The hijackers use a mirror Network Across the country, another group of characters always there t congratulations.

Already there was a lebanese man, 26yearold zaed jarrah. He would crash flight 93 into the grounds at shanksville, pennsylvania. They made this video together as their last will and testament. They all started taking flying lessons. Attah was constantly on the move flying to spain in january of 2001. After his return they moved again into this apartment in Coral Springs just outside of miami. Were they using a support network that had been in place for decades . What you have in terms of the support system are another layer of people who kind of know what these guys are about but dont want to ask a lot of questions. Andrew mccarthy was the late prosecutor in the World Trade Center bombing of 1993. To the extent that they can give them some help, whether its with housing or money or jobs or training they can later tell whoever asks them about it they were simply fulfilling their obligation as muslims to help oremus limbs. One person in florida who seemed to fit that bill was the 27yearold chemistry major. He had grown up in the epicenter of radical islam here in america. He was born in saudi arabia and came to this country during the 1980s with his family. His father was a man by the name of sheik golshere. He was a translator for the blind sheik.

November 5th gunshots ring out in another hotel. A follow lower of the blind sheik was gunned down. Shannon tailor was an eye witness and took these photographs. Out of nowhere, okay. Some person dropped right there. It came out like that. He was practicing for years, he was blinded. Three years later another follow lower drove the van full of explosives into the garage of the World Trade Center. One of the real miracles happened was only seven lives were lost.
