Riduan Isamuddin

CIA tracked Alhazmi from a Al Qaeda meeting in the Malaysian city of Kuala Lumpur back to the Los Angeles, California. This meeting was with Fahad al-Quso who was a suspect of the USS Cole bombing, and Riduan Isamuddin a suspect in the Bojinka plot. On his flight back to the US he flew with another 911 hijacker Khalid Almihdhar. The CIA did nothing with this information knowing that Alhazmi conversing with a known Al Qaeda terrorist, and allowed him free reign in the United States. This report is contradicted by George Tenet’s Testimony before a joint inquiry into terrorist attacks where he stated that the CIA knew about Nawaf & Khalid in late 1999. They began surveillance and claim to only know Khalid’s full identity in early 2000 just before the Malaysia meeting, and Nawaf’s identity after the meeting.
