In Vero Beach, FBI agents searched four homes in three neighborhoods, according to witnesses.
A tenant in one of those houses, Adnan Bukhari, was cooperating with the federal agents, sources said.
Bukhari's brother, Ameer Bukhari, died in a small plane crash in Florida last year, according to a lawyer for the family.
Federal sources had initially identified the brothers as possible hijackers who had boarded one of the planes that originated in Boston.
Their names had been tied to a car founded at an airport in Portland, Maine.
But Bukhari's attorney said it appeared their identifications were stolen and said Bukhari had no role in the hijackings.
Information found in another rental car left in Boston's Logan Airport -- where two of the hijacked flights
originated -- led investigators to two more men who were pilots: Mohammed Atta and Marwan Yousef Alshehhii.

"Ameer Bukhari died in a small plane crash in Florida last year, said Adnan Bukhari's attorney. Roger Richie, a spokesman for Flight Safety Academy, confirmed that Bukhari, a flight engineer with Saudi Airlines, is part of a current yearlong program to train pilots for the airline."

A year long program to train pilots for the airline -- It would be interesting to find out when he started his "year long" training. If he just started the program on or about the time he crashed, a year from then would culminate on 9/11/01.
