Saudi nationals Tareq and Yaser al-Jahini are among the 345 people sought by the FBI in connection with Black Tuesday. According to the November 11th Portland Oregonian, Tareq came under FBI scrutiny more than three years before the 9-11 atrocity. At the time, he was studying aircraft maintenance at Portland Community College, with the supposed objective of becoming a mechanic at Saudi Arabian Airlines. "But as FBI agents traced his movements ... they found some connections that suggested other possible motives for his interest in aviation," notes the paper.

Tareq's brother Yaser was among the Muslim mujahedin fighters who "visited Bosnia in the early 1990s to help local Muslims wage war on the Serbs," continues the Oregonian. "The government also thinks he told a known al-Qaeda operative he would identify potential terrorism targets while in the Southwest...." Tareq was also connected to people accused of terrorist acts in the Middle East. In a memo written in early 2001, Phoenix FBI counter-terrorism agent Kenneth Williams connected the al-Jahini brothers with "nine other instances of Middle Eastern students enrolled in aviation courses" in America. One Muslim aviation security student "had tried to enter a commercial airline cockpit in 1999, later saying he thought it was a bathroom," relates the paper.
