's legal attaché office in Paris forwarded a report from French intelligence that Zacarias Moussaoui, taken into custody on August 16 in Minnesota, was known to their internal security department and that French intelligence had information that Moussaoui was associated with a man who was born in France and died in 2000 in Chechnya fighting with"the Mujahideen." While in Chechnya, this man worked for Emir Al‑Khattab Ibn , the leader of a group of Chechen rebels.
CIA Director George Tenet shifted blame to the FBI for not taking action on Moussaoui. President George W. Bush awards the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Tenet, December 14, 2004.While this debate was going on, the FBI shifted focus to arranging for Moussaoui's deportation to France, scheduled for September 17. The hope was that French secret police would search his belongings and provide the results to the FBI.
