FBI Informant paid $100,000 to help carry out 9/11

As most of us know two hijackers involved in 9/11, Khalid Almidhar and Nawaf Alhazmi, were living with an FBI informant in San Diego.

So who was this informant and what was his role in 9/11? After Dec 2002 the DOJ conducted an OIG report to give us this answer.

"In December 2002, the JICI released its final report entitled, “Joint Inquiry into Intelligence Community Activities before and after the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001.” One of the report’s recommendations was for the Inspectors General at the Department of Justice (DOJ), CIA, Department of Defense, and Department of State to determine whether and to what extent personnel at those agencies should be held accountable for any acts or omissions with regard to the identification, prevention, and disruption of the September 11 terrorist attacks"

The DOJ OIG report was completed in Nov 2004. So in July 2003 the investigation is in full swing one would presume. And What happened in July 2003 in regards to this informant? Read the footnote yourself-they admit he was paid off, in order to not cooperate!

So who was this informant and what was his role in helping the hijackers?

The answer is, the FBI is not going to tell you and the informant will not cooperate with this investigation, the reason he will not cooperate is because the FBI paid him $100,000 not to. You can read it for yourself. THEY ADMIT IT IN THE FOOTNOTES OF THE OIG REPORT!

From the footnotes on page 41/141 of the chapter dealing with this issue. Page 260 of overall report.

194-The OIG was not able to interview the asset. The Joint Intelligence Committee Inquiry had attempted to interview the asset without success. The Committee then submitted interrogatories that the asset declined to answer, asserting his Fifth Amendment privilege. The asset indicated through his attorney that if subpoenaed by the Committee, he would not testify without a grant of immunity.

195-There is some dispute about whether Hazmi and Mihdhar actually responded to an advertisement for boarders posted by the asset or whether they were introduced to the asset. The OIG did not have access to the witnesses who could address this issue.

197-Initially the asset was not paid. In July 2003, the asset was given a $100,000 payment and closed as an asset.
