Summary  
The documents detail FBI investigative efforts following Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination, focusing on inquiries into individuals with the surname Khalaf. A telegraphic report from June 11, 1968, notes that Sameera Ibrahim Saman Khalaf, a Jordanian woman admitted to the U.S. in July 1964, resides in San Francisco with her mother Clara Butrus Khalaf. Her father, Ibrahim Saman Khalaf, and brothers Faud Khalaf and Adib Khalaf are also listed, along with their birth dates, places of origin, and addresses. The FBI sought to determine if any of these individuals were connected to the investigation, as initial reports suggested a possible link. Subsequent telegrams directed San Francisco agents to interview Adib Khalaf and his mother, who denied knowing anyone by that name in the city. A separate report mentions Loyd Walker, believed to be associated with Sirian B. Sirihan, and requests background checks on his political affiliations and potential motives. The documents also include news clippings describing RFK’s injuries at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles and references to FBI file reviews under E.O. 14176.
