Another snippet from a Sept 26 2001 newspaper

---snip--- Since the hijackings, there has been concern that further terrorist attacks might have been planned. Still, it remained unclear why the authorities were interested in the San Antonio radiologist, Al-Hazmi. Two days before he was detained, two other men on an Amtrak train bound for San Antonio from St. Louis were arrested during a routine drug sweep. The two men, Ayub Ali Khan, 51, and Mohammed Jaweed Azmath, 47, whom authorities said were carrying box cutters, hair dye and a large amount of cash, apparently remain in custody.

FBI officials this week denied news reports that the two men were intent on meeting Al-Hazmi.

Outside his San Antonio home Tuesday, Al-Hazmi told reporters, "Let us be tolerant of each other and work together and be united and learn not to hate, because hatred is evil."

"Hatred leads to certain destruction," he added. "What happened on Sept. 11 has nothing to do with any religion and has nothing to do with Islam." ---end snip---
