He lost his position at the mosque at some point, and was barred from re-entering the United States from Saudi Arabia on May 6, 2003, based on the U.S. State Department's determination he could be connected with terrorist activity. Denied extremist ties to the FBI, denied knowing Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi, who attended the mosque in 2000. Also denied knowing Omar al-Bayoumi, although witnesses and telephone records connected them.1 |
