Woman Recalls Saudi National Omar al-Bayoumi’s Ties to 9/11 Hijackers
· World · NDTV, Times of India
Omar al-Bayoumi, a Saudi national, provided assistance to 9/11 hijackers Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar after they arrived in the US in early 2000. A former tenant who lived in the same apartment complex in San Diego described al-Bayoumi as a friendly and smiling individual during that period. Investigators have long scrutinized al-Bayoumi for his role in helping the hijackers secure housing and navigate life in Southern California. The Saudi government has consistently denied any state involvement in the September 11 attacks. Despite years of investigation, the full extent of al-Bayoumi’s knowledge regarding the hijackers' intentions remains a subject of debate.
