According to U.S. officials , the majority of money that came to the Saudi hijackers for the September 11 attacks was transferred through Baluchi and Mustafa al-Hawsawi . The 9/11 Commission reported that he " helped them with plane tickets , traveler 's checks , and hotel reservations " , and " taught them about everyday aspects of life in the West , such as purchasing clothes and ordering food " . In his defence , Baluchi claims that he often helped people in Dubai with such things to supplement his income , and he had no way of knowing whether any of them were criminals
