Thanks for the picture and pointing me to the other posting. I guess the side profile could match up but I still say the frontal drawing and morphing it into Jose Podilla is a real close match.

This Al-Hussaini's chin is to pointy compared to the drawing.

Agreed, particularly when you have the opportunity to compare both side-by-side in photographs. But to a witness who had only seen one, and wearing a hat, from the side, and only for a few seconds, I can easily appreciate how that identification could be made.

And don't forget that the source of the drawings was the FBI. They may well have chosen the drawing least resembling the subject that some of their personnel were helping to avoid scrutiny.
