The FBI's OIG Report Regarding The San Diego FBI's Handling Of The Informational Asset

I read from the FBI's Office of the Inspector General (OIG) report which was publicly released in June 2006. In this section of the chapter, the report details Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi renting a room in San Diego from an FBI informational asset who is being handled by an agent code name, "Stan". The information asset, whose name is hidden (Abdussattar Shaikh) has been a contact with the FBI from 1994-2003 and who was known to the Muslim community.

The asset provided Stan with their first names but little other identifying information. Stan did not obtain any additional information from the asset about the boarders, such as their last names, and he did not conduct any investigation of them.
