Salem al-Hazmi (Arabic: ???? ????????, Salam al-?azmi, also transliterated as Alhazmi) (February 2, 1981 – September 11, 2001) was one of five hijackers of American Airlines Flight 77 as part of the September 11 attacks. Hazmi had a relatively long history with al-Qaeda before being selected for the attacks.
He obtained a tourist visa through the Visa Express program and arrived in the United States in June 2001 where he would settle in New Jersey with other American 77 hijackers up until the attacks. On September 11, 2001, Hazmi boarded American Airlines Flight 77 and helped subdue the passengers and crew for Hani Hanjour, the pilot among the hijackers, to crash the plane into west facade of the Pentagon.
His older brother, Nawaf al-Hazmi, was another hijacker aboard the same flight.
Along with Ahmed al-Haznawi, who was one of the hijackers on United Airlines Flight 93 and Hamza al-Ghamdi, who was also co-hijacker with his older brother on United Airlines 175, he was among the youngest hijackers in the attacks.
