A newly released video and other documents are reviving questions about whether a Saudi national who FBI officials believe worked for Saudi Arabia’s intelligence service played a role in the 9/11 attacks. The Saudi national, Omar Al-Bayoumi, was the focus of years of investigation by the FBI's San Diego field office because of his association with two of the 9/11 hijackers, Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi, prior to the attack.
“Reliable assets and other members of the San Diego Muslim community believe Al-Bayoumi works for the Saudi intelligence service,” one of the documents says. A separate FBI report describes Al-Bayoumi as a paid informant of the Saudi General Intelligence Presidency, known by the acronym GIP, and was paid a monthly stipend from the late 1990s to Sept. 11, 2001. Al-Bayoumi is believed to be living in Saudi Arabia.
