U.S. officials: No evidence that Qatari men in Wikileaks doc were linked to 9/11

“They were looked at hard,” one of the officials said, but no evidence linked them directly to the Sept. 11 hijackers. For his part, Mansoori was under much more scrutiny by the FBI and other government offices, the official said.

Neither Mansoori, nor the names of the three Qatari men, appear in the 9/11 Commission Report.

“If the [9/11] Commission had information in 2004 that reliably linked these individuals to the 9/11 attack, it would have been in our report,” former executive director of the 9/11 Commission Philip Zelikow told ABC News.

Additionally, U.S. officials said that if they believed the men were linked to the hijackers, a public alert would have been issued.
