On September 11, 2021, the FBI released a heavily redacted document from 2016 related to its investigation of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and suspected Saudi government support for the hijackers. It discusses the investigation into the alleged logistical support that a Saudi consular official and a suspected Saudi intelligence agent in Los Angeles provided to at least two of the men who hijacked planes on September 11, 2001. The document specifically mentions, Omar al-Bayoumi, who was suspected to be a Saudi intelligence agent who provided “travel assistance, lodging and financing” to help the two hijackers.
