Follow Up Questions Re FBI San Diego Paper Dated 26 June 2003

Where did Hazmi and Mihdhar stay for approximately two weeks (after arriving in theUnited States on 15 January 2000 from Bangkok) before meeting Bayoumi and movingto San Diego?

Did the initial encounter between Hazmi, Mihdhar, and Bayoumi in Los Angeles occuron 1 February 2000 (as stated in the 26 June 2003 San Diego paper) or 26 January 2000(as stated in the 29 May 2003 San Diego paper)?

Why does the FBI now believe that the individual with whom Bayoumi met at the Saudiconsulate in Los Angeles was Thumairy?

Is there any information that Bayoumi had any contact with Thumairy prior to February2000? Is it the position of the FBI that this was the first time the two men had ever beenin contact?

Is there any information to suggest that Hazmi or Mihdhar ever met with Thumairy at theKing Fahd Mosque or elsewhere?

What information led to Thumairy being PNG'd?

If, according to an FBI Asset, al-Bayoumi said he was traveling to Los Angeles to pickup someone coming into the country - and he was not referring to Harnzi or Mihdhar -who was he supposed to pick up and why did he not return to San Diego with anybody?Does the FBI consider the Asset's account of this conversation with Bayoumi credible?

Is there any further information regarding Bayoumi's trip to Culver City one week beforeI Hazmi and Mihdhar arrived (9 January 2000)? With whom did he meet? Did he visit the

King Fahd Mosque? How long did he stay? Any theory on the purpose for this trip?

How did Hazmi and Mihdhar travel to San Diego?

What evidence is there to support the conclusion that Hazmi and Mihdhar entered theUnited States with the $9900 initially deposited into the bank account that Bayoumihelped them arrange (other than the inference that some of the money that was given toKhallad in Bangkok from Nibrass and Quso was passed on to them)?

Who attended the welcomelhousewarming party that Bayoumi allegedly hosted forHazmi and Mihdhar at their apartment?

Is there any explanation for the marked increase in Bayoumi's "otherallowances" stipendfrom April 2000 through August 2001? Even if this time period does not correlate withthe time frame when both Hazmi and Mihdhar lived in San Diego (or even when Hazmilived relatively close by in Arizona), could this money be supplemental pay for Bayoumi

for helping the hijackers until the attacks on 9/11 rather than direct financial support forHazmi and Mihdhar?

Does the record evidence of deposits into Bayoumi's San Diego bank accounts precludethe possibility that he received four wire transfers on or about 15 January 2000 (as werereported by Scotland Yard) in cash (in other words, has the FBI concluded that the $1Ok,$15k; $2k, and $lOk transfers were never even made from Bayoumi's Bank of Americain Saudi Arabia, or merely that no such transfers were received in Bayoumi's San Diegoaccounts)?

Was Osama Basnan an employee of the Saudi Arabian Educational Mission inWashington, DC?

Is Abdullah still in INS detention awaiting deportation to Yemen?

On which individuals allegedly involved with fundraising for al-Qaeda did Muppet reportprior to 9/11?

Who were the two other individuals who rented rooms from Muppet at the same time thatHazmi and Mihdhar lived with him? Did those individuals have any contact with Hazmiand Mihdhar?

Did Muppet charge Mihdhar $300 for the eight days that he allegedly stayed in the house(June 2 to June 10)? Why would Mihdhar pay a full month's rent knowing he was goingto leave the country in a week? Does this relate to the uncertainty surrounding the move-in date (i.e. maybe Mihdhar and Hazmi kept the Parkwood apartment until 2 June 2000but also rented Muppet's room as early as May 10 - one month before Mihdhar left for.Yemen; note also that Hazmi left on lO December 2000, and thus it would make sense ifthe monthly rent was due on the tenth of each month)?

How did Hazmi have Muppet's address on his notice to vacate the Parkwood apartmenton 13 February 2000 and Mihdhar use the same address for his change of address on hisbank account on 19 April 2000? Did they meet Muppet earlier than late spring, whenthey moved in? Did Bayoumi provide it to them?

Is there any evidence of contact between Bayoumi and Muppet at any point?

Was Mihdhar's bank account statement for the period 25 March 2000 to 21 April 2000mailed to Muppet's house after Mihdhar changed the address on 19 Apri12000? If so,how did Mihdhar get it?

Any further information about how and when Muppet first met Hazmi and Mihdhar?

Why was Hazmi seeking a Mexican-American bride? Immigration purposes?

The FBI states that Muppet has "never equivocated on the operative facts," but whatabout his credibility with respect to how and when he met Hazmi and Mihdhar; whenHazmi and Mihdhar lived with him; whether he knew about their flight lessons in SanDiego; whether he ever met Hani Hanjour?

Where did Hanjour stay on 8-9 December 2000 after arriving in San Diego but beforedeparting to Arizona with Hazrni?

If the individual who arrived at Muppet's house on 10 December 2000 to pick up Hazmi, was not Hanjour, who was it?
