“In a classified chronology submitted to Congress in early 2002, the CIA stated that it had tracked terrorists Khalid al-Midhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi to the United States in early 2001, but failed to notify the FBI and other government agencies about the connections of the two men to al Qaeda. …the CIA had said it did not know about al-Midhar or his several visits to the United States until August 2001.” [The 15th of the month used for date sorting purposes only.]
