“Two of the 9/11 hijackers, Nawaf al Hazmi and Khalid al Mihdhar, had been placed on the [State Department’s] TIPOFF list by the FBI in late August [2001] as the search for them intensified. But the FBI never contacted the FAA [Federal Aviation Administration] to place the names on its no-fly list, so their ability to fly on 9/11 remained unimpaired.” [The 25th of the month used for date sorting purposes only.]
