WASHINGTON (AP) – A Saudi man arrested near Washington Dulles International Airport the night of Sept. 11 passed an FBI polygraph test, his attorney said Friday.
It was the second polygraph the FBI has administered to Khalid al-Draibi, who is jailed while under indictment for allegedly making false statements on a visa application.
Drew Hutcheson said his client was questioned at length Monday about his flight training in the United States. The FBI also wanted to know why al-Draibi had numerous driver’s licenses when he was picked up about 13 miles south of the airport, the point of origin for the airplane that crashed into the Pentagon. Police stopped al-Draibi for driving with a flat tire.
According to Friday’s polygraph, al-Draibi was telling the truth when he denied having any contact with any terrorist group or being asked to perform any terrorist mission, Hutcheson said.
