On nine occasions between March 11-27, the FBI says (in the famed “28 pages” partially declassified in 2016) that a Saudi “naval officer” by the name of Lafi al-Harbi is in telephone contract with Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi in San Diego. He is at least the second Saudi government official – the other being Omar Bayoumi – who has contact with the two future 9/11 hijackers in California.
