>>>The report cited the C.I.A.’s failure to pass intelligence about Mr. Mihdhar and Mr. Hamzi to other agencies as potentially significant. The C.I.A. had identified the men in January 2000 when they visited Malaysia but never notified the State Department to put them on the terrorist watch list.<<<
The Malaysia terrorist summit is where the planning took place for the USS Cole bombing and 9/11.
Interesting, all the connections.
