FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION
In the summer of 2001, an FBI agent in Arizona alerted Washington headquarters that several Middle Easterners were training at a U.S. aviation school. "FBIHQ should consider seeking the necessary authority to obtain visa information ... on individuals obtaining visas to attend these types of schools and notify the appropriate FBI field office," the agent recommended in the memo. The intelligence was sent to FBI terrorism experts in Washington and New York, but was not immediately shared with the CIA. FBI Director Robert Mueller has said the memo should have made its way to the CIA sooner.
