The FBI people brought over the remains of a visa, on which the passport number and identity information were still legible. NIIS queries show that the subject, Ziad JARRAH (DPOB 11 May 1975, Lebanon) had made six entries to the United States since spring of 2000. He appears to have travelled alone on these flights. The particulars are attached. Also on the attachment is the entry information on another identity queried by FBI, identified from a photo-copied Saudi passport also retrieved. That person. Saeed AL GHAMDI (DPOB 21 November 1979, Saudi Arabia), had one entry in summer 2001. A passenger on the same flight had a UAE passport and also listed a hotel address. This appeared unusual, as most of the people on that flight were families visiting Disney World and other Orlando attractions, so it is possible that this person, Fayez BANIHAMMAD (DPOB 19 March 1977, United Arab Emirates), was related to AL GHAMDI. NIIS printouts for all of the above were given to the FBI representatives.
