(AP) - Federal officials have agreed to take another
look at an anti-terrorism reward that excluded two Zacarias
Moussaoui tipsters, according to Minnesota's two U.S. senators.

      Last month, the $5 million reward went to Clarence Prevost, a
key witness in Moussaoui's trial and eventual conviction as a Sept.
11 conspirator. Prevost testified that he urged his bosses at the
Pan Am International Flight Academy in Minnesota to call the FBI in
August 2001.


      But left out were two flight instructors at the school, Tim
Nelson and Hugh Sims. They were honored by the Senate in 2005 for
alerting the FBI to Moussaoui about a month before the attacks.

      Republican Sen. Norm Coleman and Democratic Sen. Amy
Klobuchar say the federal officials agreed at a
meeting to look at additional nominations -- and review the facts of the case.

      The officials declined to comment as they left the meeting.
