"...Atta was living in Florida at the time when he was to have visited Prague. Two days before a possible meeting with al-Ani he flew from Virginia Beach, Florida to New York, but seventy- two hours later he was back in Florida. Czech officials checked out all suspicious men who arrived in Prague on the incriminating days, but were not able to confirmed Atta's visit. Nonetheless a visit was possible. Atta, say, could have flown to Vienna and taken a bus to Prague. "Atta's mysterious stay in Prague can neither be ruled out nor confirmed. We're at the same place we were a year ago," says one reporter occupied on the case. One interesting piece of evidence is the report by the New York Times stating that a few days after the alleged visit to Prague last year one hundred thousand dollars was transferred to Atta's bank account at Sun Bank in Florida from the United Arab Emirates. ..."

""The report by the U.S. Inspector General of the Justice Department, Glenn A. Fine, reads: "Egyptian terrorist Muhammad Atta most likely did not meet in Prague in April of last year with an Iraqi spy Ahmed al-Ani operating in the Czech capital under the diplomatic protection." ""

Any of you guys ever hear of this report by "Glenn A. Fine"? The Wash Post article doesn't mention it. Also, the Wash Post article says ""they could find no indication he had left Virginia or traveled outside the United States." But the Czech article explicitly mentions a flight to New York City.
