JIDDAH, Saudi Arabia (AP) - FBI officials from Washington were leaving Saudi Arabia Wednesday without interviewing a Saudi man suspected of helping two of the Sept. 11 hijackers, a U.S. embassy official said.

The investigation of Omar al-Bayoumi continues, however, and a team of FBI agents attached to the American embassy who have questioned the Saudi man once already may do so again, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

A U.S. Congressional report says al-Bayoumi befriended and helped al-Qaida members Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi, two of the hijackers on the jet that crashed into the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001.

In an interview with Dubai-based Al-Arabiya television Sunday, al-Bayoumi said he had done nothing wrong and was ready to talk with the FBI, but only in his homeland and in the presence of officials from his government. In earlier Saudi press reports, al-Bayoumi said the two men were acquaintances and briefly neighbors.
