WASHINGTON (AP) - American investigators have
held three rounds of questioning of an employee
of Saudi Arabia's civil aviation authority and found
no connection to the Sept. 11 hijackings, a Saudi
official said Monday.

The questioning in Saudi Arabia began at the end
of last month, a day after Condoleezza Rice,
President Bush's national security adviser,
requested U.S. access to Omar al-Bayoumi in a
meeting with Saudi Arabia's foreign minister,
Prince Saud al-Faisal.

Al-Bayoumi was described as an accountant by
the Saudi official, who spoke to reporters at the
Saudi Embassy on condition of anonymity. The
official said al-Bayoumi was not an agent of the
Saudi government.

The FBI had no immediate comment on the Saudi
official's characterization of the conversations in
Saudi Arabia.

1. Huh?

Wasn't this guy one of the main reasons for "redacting" the 28 pages?

No he's been questioned and found to be clean?
