As you would expect, after the attack, officials began a series of investigations, and a CBS News report disclosed that fresh evidence of a person allegedly involved in the crime had been found.
Omar Al-Bayoumi, a Saudi national, was the subject of an investigation after the attack, but the 9/11 Commission characterized him as
“An unlikely candidate for clandestine involvement with Islamic extremists” in 2004. But new evidence from his American
Apartment from 2001 offers an alternative perspective, and Gina Bennett, a CIA counterterrorism specialist during the 911 attacks, thinks important details might have been overlooked.
She has stated that she thinks Bayoumi “was an al-Qaeda facilitator” and gave the “two hijackers, without which they may very well have been caught,” according to the evidence she has seen.
According to the FBI, Bayoumi had intimate contacts to two of the hijackers and was a Saudi intelligence agent.
