Folks:

After Team 5's field trip to JFK Int'l last Monday, it became readily apparent that an interesting historical piece
could be written on what happened at JFK Int'l on 9/11 and in the days thereafter. Some aspects of the piece
could be:

1. Two of the 19 hijackers entered via JFK;

2. On 9/11, for Teams 5 and 7, the airport was shut down amidst initial chaos and INS set up command and
control in a building set apart from the terminals. Three and one-half days later the airport reopened, with
extra security, and only some airlines were willing to return to the air;
3. For Team 8, the Port Authority, which lost its offices and 37 personnel in the destruction of the WTC,
moved its Command and Control Center to JFK within hours of the WTC collapse;
4. For Teams 6 and 7, a TWA flight from JFK to LAX that was scheduled to leave at noon on 9/11 was
grounded in the initial chaos. Four people sitting in first class of Middle-Eastern origin refused to leave
the plane, but then absconded before the local police and JTTF agents could arrive and interview them.
The same men, it is later learned, rebooked their flight to leave on Saturday September 15 (United
Airlines from JFK to LAX). When the air crew got suspicious on September 15, and called law
enforcement, the men again successfully absconded without being interviewed.

Much more research needs to be done to verify the authenticity of the information above, but this could make for
some interesting and relevant history.

I've attached the draft MFR on the JFK trip FYI.

Once I receive feedback, perhaps we could all meet and talk further about how we may proceed.

Sam,

This is excellently interesting. Tom Eldridq.e found out from an INS JTTF
detailee, Peter Robustelli, that I I (sic), who runs the NY JTTF,
apparently also personally interviewed these folks, "but found nothing".
You or George may want to follow that up.

Janice

George and I (mostly George) have done some research on the rumor of
4 middle eastern men who supposedly were upset about having to disembark
from
a commercial jet at JFK on September 11, after air traffic was closed and
the
flight was canceled. This e-mail is lengthy and detailed, but to cut to the

chase this is of great interest, because there is some truth in the rumors,
and one of four Arabs had a U.S. flight school identification card.

Going through the Port Authority September 11 dispatch transcripts, George

discovered the record of a 11:11 AM phone call on 9/11 placed by a United
Airlines agent to the Port Authority police station at JFK. In the call the

United Airlines agent said that there were three Arabs who refused to get
off
a flight that had been canceled due to the closing of air traffic. At 11:28

AM - 17 minutes after the call from United Airlines - a Port Authority

officer
was dispatched by radio to look into that call. However, by the time the
Port
Authority officer arrived at the gate, the Arab individuals in question had
disappeared. In George's opinion the 17 minute delay might be excusable,
due
to the fact that so many Port Authority police officers assigned to JFK that

day had left to go to the World Trade Center. This is the body of evidence

Sam —

Excellent work. At JFK on September 3, I spoke with an FBI agent who

remembered the interrogation of these four tieople. He thought it happened
on September 11. He also said| ['from the NY-JTTF came to JFK to
oversee the interrogation. John Raidt and I plan on doing some searches of
the PENTTBOM file at the FBI building on Monday, and can plan on including
these individuals and their 302s into our inquiries. We now have the
capability to both search and print PENTTBOM documents.

— Tom
