reports say muhammad atta didnt pray or attend friday prayer.Atta hung around stripper bars, was reported to have drank alcohol, and avoided Muslim communities. Perhaps because they'd spot the discrepancy between his fundamentalist words and non-observant lifestyle, smell martyr-wannabe, and turn him in.
That's what happened in Buffalo, to the Al Qaeda cell there.

Atta decided to kick it up on his last night on earth, so what! His reasons were his islamic upbringing and associations and beliefs.
