Hasan, the sole suspect in the massacre of 13 fellow US soldiers in Texas, attended the controversial Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Great Falls, Virginia, in 2001 at the same time as two of the September 11 terrorists, The Sunday Telegraph has learnt. His mother's funeral was held there in May that year.
The preacher at the time was Anwar al-Awlaki, an American-born Yemeni scholar who was banned from addressing a meeting in London by video link in August because he is accused of supporting attacks on British troops and backing terrorist organisations.
Hasan's eyes "lit up" when he mentioned his deep respect for al-Awlaki's teachings, according to a fellow Muslim officer at the Fort Hood base in Texas, the scene of Thursday's horrific shooting spree.
As investigators look at Hasan's motives and mindset, his attendance at the mosque could be an important piece of the jigsaw. Al-Awlaki moved to Dar al-Hijrah as imam in January, 2001, from the west coast, and three months later the September 11 hijackers Nawaf al-Hamzi and Hani Hanjour began attending his services. A third hijacker attended his services in California.

Has this story hit the MSM news yet? Or even Fox? It was in yahoo buzz so they can’t not report it because of an overseas paper.
Excellent question ping (BTW it did make it to yahoo buzz)
Fox News had it on the news ticker last night, and it has been reported today. It is now on the AP, and a featured story on Yahoo news.
Thank God they are not suppressing this news. Regular every day Americans will still think this loon terrorist is a victim-still!
BTW: I like your screen name. It is so true. I feel like I am living in bad reported as good and good is reported as bad, parrellel alice in wonderland looney universe.
Wonder how Dubya managed to miss this one.
With today's news and Lieberman calling for an investigation, people will know. They may not want to face the reality, but they will know.
Yeah oreilley just hammered it. He goes easy and it sounded real bad.
Liebermann asked for an investigation? Good.
