1999-07-08: FBI, summary of information, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed
There are two versions of this document, which contain different information. The summary is a rare document indicating the FBI's interest in Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, prior to the September 11 attacks. KSM is considered the primary mastermind of the attacks. He was secretly indicted for his role in Ramzi Yousef's Bojinka plot in January 1996, but the FBI did not publicly acknowledge his existence until 1998.
It's interesting to note the pointless redactions made to these documents prior to their release by the FBI. For instance, the names of the other Bojinka plotters (Ramzi Yousef, Abdul Hakim Murad and Wali Khan Amin Shah) have been redacted even though they are well in the public domain after a highly visible trial. The redactions are a typical example of the FBI's reluctance to release information, even when there is no legal or common-sense reason to withhold.

2002-06-10: FBI, request for information, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed college attendance
As many people know, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed attended college in North Carolina during the 1980s. What is much less well known is the fact that he applied to several other colleges, including in Kansas, Connecticut and Oklahoma City. This document instructs FBI field offices to investigate whether those other schools had any pertinent records.
