Dr. Abdussattar Shaikh, the FBI informant who shared his home with Flight 77 hijackers Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar, had in fact been “co-opted” by a Saudi intelligence asset with whom he shared a close, years-long relationship.  

The allegation surfaced in federal court in New York in the long-running civil court case in which families and survivors of 9/11 are suing Saudi Arabia for the role the Kingdom’s employees allegedly played in the attack. It is contained in a document filed by the plaintiffs.
