Observation

An oversight body found FBI process failures regarding the two hijackers already in the United States.

Interpretation

Supports H008. Does not speak to whether Saudi officials knew the two men were hijackers.

Source text

The DOJ Inspector General documented breakdowns in passing, storing, and acting on intelligence about Mihdhar and Hazmi. Hazmi lived openly in San Diego, used his real name, and even appeared in the phone directory.

OIG work is relatively independent within the U.S. government.
