> Holly Ratchford, who rented homes to two of the 9/11 hijackers, has spoken publicly for the first time about Omar al-Bayoumi. She says he introduced her to Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar, who later hijacked American Airlines Flight 77 and crashed it into the Pentagon. Bayoumi is accused of helping the plot; Saudi Arabia and Bayoumi deny the allegations.
