@lamag: Twenty-five years after 9/11, newly declassified evidence is shedding new light on two hijackers’ time in Southern California — and raising questions that remain unanswered.   Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar, two of the men who would later hijack American Airlines Flight 77, arrived at LAX in January 2000 after attending an al Qaeda planning summit in Malaysia. According to a landmark civil lawsuit filed by families of 9/11 victims, the men were then aided by individuals with alleged ties to the Saudi government. Saudi Arabia has consistently denied allegations of involvement in the attacks.   Read the full investigation by Michele McPhee at lamag.com or the link in bio.
