Sounds like he may have been like Timothy McVeigh, Philippine connection and all, not unlike Ramzi Yousef. Ramzi Yousef was into partying too, wasn’t he? He did not lead the life of a fundamentalist at all, his gripe was much the same as any American SDS leftist trained in Cuba or Irish IRA terrorist trained in Libya. His relative KSM was the same... not religious, a party animal known to frequent bars and expensive hotels.
The 9/11 hijackers had connections in Las Vegas... at least one hijacker on each of the four hijacked airplanes traveled to Las Vegas, Nevada sometime between May and August of 2001, besides Atta.

...When he [Atta] returned his rental car on July 1st, [2001] it had 110 miles on it. Aside from the internet cafe, police don't know much about Atta's movements while in Las Vegas, and it raises the possibility whether there might be someone here who helped them. "Without a doubt. But chances are, I'm guessing, whoever was here also came from somewhere else and they met up. We just never figured out who they were," said former Clark County Sheriff Bill Young. At the time, Young was in charge of special ops teams for Metro. His detectives and FBI agents poured through mountains of hotel records, rental car receipts, and surveillance videos to document the terrorists movements. Tipsters say at least one terrorist received lap dances at the Olympic Garden strip club. Others sipped coffee across from UNLV and partied and gambled at casinos.
