In 2022, the families of some 9/11 victims obtained two videos and a notepad seized from Saudi national [[Omar al-Bayoumi]] by the British courts. The first video showed him hosting a party in [[San Diego]] for Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar, the first two hijackers to arrive in the U.S. The other video showed al-Bayoumi greeting the cleric [[Anwar al-Awlaki]], who was blamed for radicalizing Americans and later killed in a CIA drone strike. The notepad depicted a hand-drawn aeroplane and some mathematical equations that, according to a pilot's court statement, might have been used to calculate the rate of descent to get to a target. According to a 2017 FBI memo, from the late 1990s up until the 9/11 attack, al-Bayoumi was a paid cooptee of the Saudi [[General Intelligence Presidency]]. {{As of|2022|04}} he is believed to be living in Saudi Arabia, which has denied any involvement in 9/11.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Herridge |first1=Catherine |title=Newly released video shows 9/11 hijackers with alleged Saudi intelligence operative |url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/911-hijackers-video-saudi-intelligence-official-omar-al-bayoumi/ |publisher=CBS News |date=27 April 2022}}</ref>
