Document(s) were located which originated with, or contained information concerning, other Governme~t
Agency (ies) [OGA].

This information has been referred to the OGA(s) for review and direct response to you.

In accordance with standard FBI practice and pursuant to FOIA exemption (b)(7)(E) and Privacy Act
exemption 0)(2) [5 U.S .C. 552/552a (b)(?)(E)/0}(2)], this response neither confirms nor denies the existence
of your subject's name on any watch lists.
For your information, Congress excluded three discrete categories of law enforcement and national security
records from the requirements of the FOIA. See 5 U.S. C. 552(c) (2006 & Supp. IV (201 0). This response is
limited to those records that are subject to the requirements of the FOIA. This is a standard notification that is given
to all our requesters and should not be taken as an indication that excluded records do, or do not, exist. Enclosed for
your information is a copy of the Explanation of Exemptions.

For questions regarding our determinations, visit the www.fbi.gov/foia website under "Contact Us."
The FOIPA Request Number listed above has been assigned to your request. Please use this number in all
correspondence concerning your request. Your patience is appreciated.
You have the right to appeal any denials in this release. Appeals should be directed in writing to the Director,
Office Information Policy (OIP), U.S. Department of Justice,1425 New York Ave., NW, Suite 11050, Washington,
D.C. 20530-0001, or you may submit an appeal through OIP's eFOIA portal at
http://www.iustice.gov/oip/efoia-portal.html. Your appeal must be received by OIP within sixty (60) days from the
date of this letter in order to be considered timely. The envelope and the letter should be clearly marked "Freed om of
Information Appeal." Please cite the FOIPA Request Number assigned to your request so that it may be easily
identified.

The enclosed material is from the main investigative file(s) in which the subject(s) of your request was the
focus of the investigation. Our search located additional references, in files relating to other individuals, or matters,
which may or may not be about your subject(s). Our experience has shown when ident, references usually contain
information similar to the information processed in the main file(s). Because of our significant backlog, we have
given priority to processing only the main investigative file(s). If you want the references, you must submit a
separate request for them in writing, and they will be reviewed at a later date, as time and resources permit.

See additional information which follows.

Sincerely,

David M. Hardy
Section Chief
Record/Information
Dissemination Section
Records Management Division

goal of
influence anyone to commit or attempt to commit an act of terror. A
secondary goal is to determine if Khan is being directed by a higher
authority/authorities to do so.
If the investigation does determine
that Khan is influencing or has influenced anyone to commit an act of
ter~or, the FBI will disrupt Khan, either by prosecuting him for
violations of Title 18, Section 2339A/B (Material Support), and Title
18, Section 373 (Solicitation to Commit a Crime of Violence), or by
other means.
Prior to proceeding with any plan for disruption, it
will be determined if the continued gathering of intelligence is more
beneficial than a disruption (i.e. are other subjects of greater
interest being identified, can Khan be recruited, etc.).

lS'lmummu uuu u)'Qrm

In November 2006, the FBI identified


Samir Zafar Khan (Khan), ~POB 12/25/1985, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,
during open source research.
The FBI discovered an online blog
maintained by Khan, which identified his interest in the
Tanzeem-e-Islami-affiliated, US-based organization, Islamic
Organization of North America (IONA), and in jihad.
It was
discovered that Khan stated that his view of jihad and IONA's
view of jihad differ in that IONA does not publicly support the
physical fighting aspect of jihad.
mummmmmmmmmuu uuu

(U)
Khan has administered, and currently administers, a
fundamentalist Islamic, pro-jihad online blog and is a registered
member on several other online forums with similar content. An
earlier version of his online blog was ranked among the top one
percent of one hundred million Internet web sites in the world.
His current online blog contains postings that support violent
jihad to include links to hundreds of videos that graphically
depict the killing of US soldiers in Iraq, suicide attacks on
coalition facilities, and speeches by Ayman al Zawahiri and UBL.
In his online blog, Khan has stated his desire to bring about the
Islamic Caliphate and that he feels the west is a hypocrisy.

Internet Jihad Aims At US Viewers." Khan, the focus of the
article, was identified as "inshallahshaheed" and as a resident
of Charlotte, NC.
In the article Khan states that he had dreams
about meeting UBL and that he would not rule out picking up a
weapon himself one day. This article, and subsequently Khan,

The primary
qoal of this investiqation is to determine if KHAN is

commit an act of terror. A secondary qoal is to determine if
KHAN is beinq directed by a hiqher authority/authorities to do
so.
If the investiqation does determine that KHAN is

terror, the FBI will disrupt KHAN, either by prosecuting him
for violations of Title 18, Section 2339A/B (Material

Crime of Violence), or by other means.
Prior to proceeding

source research. The FBI discovered an online blog maintained by KHAN, which identified his
interest in the Tanzeem-e-Islami-affiliated, US-based organization, Islamic Organization ofNorth
America (IONA), and in jihad. It was discovered that KHAN stated that his view of jihad and
IONA's view of jihad differ in that IONA does not publicly support the physical fighting aspect of
jihad.

adlmmsters, a furidamentahst lslannc, prO-Jihad onlme blog and is a registered member on several
other online forums with similar content. An earlier version of his online blog was ranked among
the top one percent of one hundred million Internet web sites in the world. His current online blog
contains postings that support violent jihad to include links to hundreds ofvideos that graphically
depict the killing of US soldiers in Iraq, suicide attacks on coalition facilities, and speeches by
A YMAN AL ZAWAHIRI and UBL. In his online blog, KHAN has stated his desire to bring about
the Islamic Caliphate and that he feels the west is a hypocrisy.
