Observation
FBI analysis describes Bayoumi as a community collector reporting via the ambassador.
Interpretation
A collector tasked against Saudis might help two arriving Saudis as cover, as duty, or as plot support. The paragraph does not distinguish.
Source text
The 2017 FBI report describes a reporting path: Bayoumi collects on persons of interest in the LA/San Diego Saudi community → Bandar → GIP. If accurate, Bayoumi's job included watching Saudis in Southern California. Hazmi and Mihdhar were Saudis who appeared in that community. Whether they were 'tasking targets' or 'collection targets' (or both) is not settled by this paragraph.
