| Narrative and Notes | |||
| Reliable | Four al-Qaeda operatives stayed at Sufaat's home in Kuala Lumpur in an arrangement orchestraed by Hambali. Surveillance teams, probably Malaysian security working on behalf of the CIA, observed several of the players meeting, but the subject of their gathering was not known.1,2 | |
 | Questionable | Tawfiq bin Attash -- "Khallad" -- has claimed 9-11 wasn't specifically the subject of the gathering in Kuala Lumpur. He spoke generally with al-Hazmi about hijacking aircraft but didn't get into the specifics of the operation.1 | |
