Thanks for your great informative posts.

Looks like these two should have been detained, considering their connection to Hanjour.

Thanks... they must be determined little buggers if they are so determined to get here.

The two Saudis, the database reported, were brothers and pilots who had attended the same Arizona flight school as 9/11 hijacker Hani Hanjour.

I also found this and it may refer to the guys now trying to get in on the this recent flight :

(snip)
El-Atriss admitted selling fake documents to Khalid Almihdhar, who was on the airliner that crashed into the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001, and Abdulaziz Alomari, who was aboard one of the planes that hit the World Trade Center. However, he stressed that he had no idea who they were or what they had in mind.

There also were allegations that El-Atriss had contact with other hijackers. One claim was that Hani Hanjour, who piloted the plane that struck the Pentagon, had made seven calls to El-Atriss from a prepaid cell phone before Sept. 11.

Feinstein said the calls from Hanjour involved him asking when documents for two men would be ready.

Or maybe it refers to two other people unrelated to the guys we now have discovered heading to Mexico City. In any case it looks like the hijacker Hanjour expected to have two more people join the group.

As a sidenote, it appears that the El-Atriss "the fake ID man" was informed ahead of time of a raid on his home, and that gave hime time to flee to Egypt. I wonder who the informant was...
