Hijackers came from U.S.-friendly Arab states

By Matt Kelley

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Most came from Saudi Arabia or the United Arab Emirates, two of the Arab countries most friendly to the United States.

They said they were pilots, or airplane mechanics, or students, or tourists. Many claimed to work for Saudi Arabian Airlines, a government air carrier.

They betrayed not a word to their neighbors about what drove their suicide missions: commandeering airliners and flying them into two of America's most-treasured landmarks.

"They didn't talk to anyone about anything at all," said Azzan Ali, a fellow student at a Florida flight school attended by two men named by the FBI as hijackers.

The FBI on Friday released names of the 19 men it identified as the hijackers of the four planes used in the attacks.

Some of the men left little trace of their time in America. Others stayed for years, taking flight classes, buying cars, moving from apartments to boarding houses to rented homes.

Several clustered around Mohamed Atta, a square-jawed 33year-old pilot who ended up on the first plane to smash into New York's World Trade Center.

Atta and Marwan Al-Shehhi, 23, trained as pilots together in Florida and stayed together in the home of a former flight school worker in the summer of last year. Those who came across them said they called each other "cousin" — the two are believed to be from the United Arab Emirates — and kept to themselves.he had a federal pilot's license.

Atta and Al-Shehhi also were together in Hamburg, Germany. Authorities there say they were part of an extremist group that planned attacks against high-profile American targets. The two also took classes at a technical school there.

Ziad Jarrahi had a pilot's license listing a Hamburg address. Jarrahi was on United Airlines Flight 93, a plane that was hijacked from a Newark, N.J., to San Francisco route and crashed in rural Pennsylvania.

When it came time for their fateful flights, Atta and Al-Shehhi split up. Al-Shehhi was on United Flight 175, the plane which hit the second World Trade Center tower. The plane carrying Atta hit the first.

Authorities believe Atta flew from Portland, Maine, to Boston on Tuesday morning with another hijacker, Abdulaziz Alomari.

Alomari also apparently took flight training in Florida. A man named Abdulrahman Alomari, whose rental house was searched by the FBI this week, told his landlord that he was a Saudi Arabian Airlines pilot getting more training at Flight Safety International, the flight school in Vero Beach where John F. Kennedy Jr. trained. A federal pilot's license for an Abdulrahman Saeed Alomari lists the pilot's address as the airline's post office box in Saudi Arabia.

"I can't confirm there was any link between any of these individuals and Saudi Arabian Airlines," airline spokesman Thomas Quinn said. "There's been no indication to this office that these individuals were our employees."

With Atta on the first plane was Waleed M. Alshehri, 25. Records show he had been in the United States since at least 1994, when he got a Social Security number and a Florida driver's license. In 1997, he graduated from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Florida with a commercial pilot's training degree; he also has a commercial pilot's license.

Alshehri gave birth dates from 1974 to 1979 on various documents. Records show he lived in several different apartments in a complex in Daytona Beach, Fla., where EmbryRiddle is based. He also may have lived for a time at a boarding house in Vienna, Va., a Washington suburb.

Two other hijackers on American Flight 11, Wail Alshehri and Satam Al Suqami, had Florida driver's licenses listing the same apartment in Boynton Beach as their address. Records say Suqami had a Saudi driver's license.

Another hijacker who may have had a commercial pilot's license was Hani Hanjour,

who was aboard the American Airlines flight that slammed into the Pentagon. Federal records show a Hani Hanjoor received a commercial pilot's license in 1999, listing a Saudi address

….. the U.S. intelligence and law enforcement communities have been poring over all information available to them before the attack to determine whether they missed any clue about what was coming…..

….. the agencies involved in this reassessment include the CIA, the FBI, the INS, the National Security Agency, and the Defense Intelligence Agency.

Things to Consider

1. Investigators now believe Tuesday's terrorist attacks may have been in the planning at least five years.

2. Some of the terrorists in Tuesday's attack took flight training and had other connections in Florida.

"…..on Friday, July 20th, the body of Lori Klausutis, 28, was found slumped next to a desk on the floor of Florida Republican Congressman Joe Scarborough's Fort Walton Beach office where Lori had served as a constituent services coordinator since May, 1999. Her body was found around 8:00 a.m. on Friday morning by a couple arriving for an appointment. She had been dead for some time….."

There has been controversy over the cause of Ms. Klausutis's death. An autopsy proved inconclusive. The family state that she was a happy, vigorously athletic person and utterly refute rumors that she died by suicide or latent heart problems.

There has been a media blackout on the story reminiscent of that following the death Of Commerce Department employee Barbara Wise.

Rep. Scarborough retired this month, reportedly to spend more time with his family. He was a member of the House Judiciary Committee.

2. Joyce Chiang worked for the INS from 1992 until her murder in 1999, which remains unsolved. Prior to working as an INS lawyer, Ms. Chiang served as an intern for Rep. Howard Berman of California.

Berman's committee assignments include:

Committee on International Relations

Subcommittee on the Middle East and South Asia

Committee on the Judiciary

Subcommittee on Immigration and Claims

Committee on Standards of Official Conduct, Ranking Member

3. Until the terrorist attacks on 9/11/01, the hottest news item of the summer was the Condit/Levy case, which has since dropped off the media radar.

Prior to her disappearance on May 1, Levy interned in Condit's office as a PR co-ordinator at the Bureau of Prisons, where she handled press relations related to the McVeigh execution on May 11. She was also involved in a sexual relationship with Condit. Condit serves on the House Intelligence Subcommittees on Counterintelligence and on Strategic Intelligence. Condit's Washington office is one floor below friend Rep. Berman's; both men are from California.

It is widely believed that Levy's death was a professional hit, since no remains have been found and suicide has been effectively ruled out. Speculation continues as to the motive for such a hit and what role Condit may have played. Some evidence indicates that Condit may have wished to silence Levy about their affair and his kinky sexual behavior, but a professional hit would be more consistent with his congressional work or confidentiality being compromised in some way by Levy.

4. In the wake of the terrorist attacks on Tuesday, there is no further word of Rep. Dan Burton's subpoena to A.G. John Ashcroft to turn over all the criminal evidence from Clinton and Janet Reno Administration related criminal investigations. Requested evidence was to be presented in Burton's Office by Tuesday.

Is any of this stuff connected?

I could be wrong, but since Tuesday my gut feeling is that there might be more to this than meets the eye... Are we being deceived (again)? This is why I'm hesitant to blindly jump into the "NUKE EM!" mentality that we're seeing from most people around here. To those people - I'm sorry if I don't have complete trust in the government & media. We've been lied to many times, on major things, can you blame me?

btw, check you freepermail!
