From 911Encyclopedia:
On September 13th , 2002, the NY Post reported, that californian student Osama Awadallah (Jordania) who was indicted for allegedly lying about his links to a Sept. 11 hijacker is now suing the feds, claiming he was falsely arrested and maliciously prosecuted. His lawyer said the 21-year-old has a strong case, due to a ruling in May 2002 by a New York federal judge who found that Awadallah was detained illegally. The probe began after a scrap of paper with the words "Osama 589 5316" - Awadallah's phone number - was found inside a car left by one of the hijackers in Washington on Sept. 11, 2001. A search of his apartment turned up photos of Osama bin Laden, and a boxcutter was found in his car. http://www.nypost.com/news/nationalnews/47657.htm
