Masjid Ar-Ribat al-Islami is a Sunni mosque in San Diego California on 7173 Saranac Street on the San Diego-La Mesa California border.Anwar Al-Awlaki who has been accused of being a senior Al-Qaeda recruiter and motivator linked to various terrorists served as Imam of the mosque from 1996–2000.Two of the hijackers in the September 11 attacks (Nawaf Al-Hazmi and Khalid Almihdhar) regularly attended the mosque in 2000 and Al-Awlaki had many closed-door meetings with them which led investigators to believe Al-Awlaki knew about the 9/11 attacks in advance.
