<<<FBI (news - web sites) officials are seeking to re-question Saudi businessman Omar al-Bayoumi, who knew hijackers Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi in San Diego and put down money for an apartment deposit and first month's rent.

Unreleased sections of Congress' report suggest that one or two Saudi men who encountered the hijackers or their acquaintances were tied to Saudi intelligence.

Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United States, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, on Saturday denied al-Bayoumi and Osama Basnan, who received checks from the ambassador's wife and was in San Diego around the time of the hijackers, were Saudi agents.

"It is unfortunate that reports keep circulating in the media describing them as agents of the Saudi government with attribution only to anonymous officials. This is blatantly false," Bandar said in a statement.

U.S. investigators are trying to determine if the connections are just coincidences or a pattern of terrorism support flowing from the wealthy U.S. ally, according to government officials familiar with those efforts.>>>

<<<And there are suggestions that another suspect, Khalid
Al Midhar, may also be alive.>>>

Interesting, yes? If Khalid al-Mihdhar is alive, what's the huff about Saudi support for someone who obviously couldn't have been a hijacker. It sure is nice to see our tax dollars at work creating 900 page reports which bear a striking resemblance to "Urainium from Niger" quality intelligence. It's starting to look like the only reason they blacked out a bunch of stuff is to make believe there was actually some meaningful content someplace in the 900 pages.
