TIMELINE (Mohamed el-Amir Awad el-Sayed Atta)

The cropduster angle still leads me to believe that the Anthrax attacks, later that month, had a connection to Atta.

An interesting thread was posted on FR 8/5/05. Title is Follow up: Anthrax Investigation.

Maybe some could post a link, as I am link posting challenged.

[longshadow]

Have you considered the story, retold by Mark Steyn in a column about a month ago, regarding a Dept. of Agriculture employee in Florida who claims to have had two meetings with Atta BEFORE the FBI thinks he was in the country, in regards to the timeline? It places Atta in the US much earlier that is officially acknowledged, and is backed up by testimony from others who saw him in the same time frame.

here's a link:

While her claims have heretofore been widely dismissed, it seems prudent, in view of the Able Danger info, to reconsider he claim "... she met Atta,Mohammad 'between the end of April, around the third week of April to the third week of May of 2000.'"

If nothing else, this claim is consistent with the idea that Atta was using more than one identity, which is consistent with the claims about him sneaking off to the Prague meeting without US officials being able to trace it.

Yes. The only evidence that remains "an alibi" for Atta to NOT have been in Prague is that his cell phone was used in FL. But he was apartment hunting with that al-Shehhi guy, and certainly that one could have used Atta's phone.

Another thing: while it's true that a young Arab man in his 20s might resemble another, in this case I would tend to believe the Czech eyewitness, because Atta's face was rather unique.

We've been discussing it on this thread

[Yaelle]

Atta visited a pharmacist in FL with something on his body (hand?) that resembled cutaneous anthrax. And very soon after 9/11 came the mailed anthrax. They may have had an anthrax supply and were wondering how to best spread it.

[doug from upland]

Who was the guy arrested, possibly in Belgium, for making fake passports? He apparently made one for Atta.

[popdonnelly]

I think someone pointed out that in 2001, Atta's American cellphone would not have worked in Europe. I think this is true, at least not without some kind of special service.

[Yaelle]

Here is a still from that meeting.

Here is al-Ani photographing the Radio Free Europe headquarters.

[Sacajaweau]

I don't have any doubt that the anthrax was connected to 9-11. A lot of time went into making the envelopes not traceable and the grade of Anthrax was exquisite.

So Atta inquired about crop dusters?? and we should just throw that away as "disconnected" because?? Absurd!!

[M Kehoe]

Thanks. You do good work.

What happened to the video (1-2 minutes in length)?

5.56mm

They forgot the last part of September 11: "Wakes up in Hell."

SADDAM OSAMA CONNECTION

[Yaelle]

Can't find the Belgian passport maker. Maybe someone else can get a link.

[doug from upland]

I just read it a few days ago and put it in a post, but I can't find it now.

[CyberAnt]

Did you know that backhoe has been compiling his usual excellant listing of threads ..??

[doug from upland]

Yes. Thanks for the heads up so everyone will know.

[elbucko]

"It is possible that Atta traveled under an unknown alias" to "meet with an Iraqi intelligence officer in Prague." Clearly, it was not beyond the capabilities of the 9/11 hijackers to use aliases.

No it wasn't, but apparently it's beyond the capabilities of the FBI to contemplate these tactics or the FBI is lying. Either way, it's not good for the Republic.

Mohamad Atta timeline:

August 1, 2001: Atta, Alshehhi, and Moussaoui Possibly Meet in Oklahoma City Motel

A motel owner in Oklahoma City later claims that Zacarias Moussaoui and hijackers Mohamed Atta and Marwan Alshehhi all come to his motel on this day. Although the FBI has investigated this lead, they have not commented on it, and prosecutors have not attempted to use the incident as evidence in their case against Moussaoui. It is widely admitted that the case against Moussaoui is not strong (for instance, Newsweek states: “there's nothing that shows Moussaoui ever had contact with any of the 9/11 hijackers” [Newsweek, 8/5/02] ). The LA Weekly speculates the FBI may want to ignore this lead because it “could force the FBI to reopen its investigation of Middle Eastern connections to the 1995 Oklahoma City blast, because convicted bombers Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols reportedly stayed at the same motel, interacting with a group of Iraqis during the weeks before the bombing.” [La Weekly, 8/2/02 (B)]

[doug from upland]

You will be hearing more. JAYNA DAVIS WILL NOT BE SILENCED. We are going to have a post for you here from her on Monday. Count on it --- the Iraqi connection in the OKC bombing is going to be exposed.

THE THIRD TERRORIST

[fhayek]

I seem to recall that the officals at the National Archives knew what Berger took, and that there were backup copies of the documents that he desroyed (by his own admission). Does anyone else have similar recollections?
