THIS is Mohamed Atta - believed to be one of the suicide hijackers who brought mass murder and mayhem to America on Tuesday.
The passport-size photo of expressionless Atta, 33, is from his international driving licence.
It was seized by FBI agents who raided a one-bedroom ground floor apartment he rented in Coral Springs, Florida.
Atta and a pal Marwan al Shehhi, 23, were trained as pilots at a nearby flying school by American experts.
The photo was released while nine men were being held last night as the net closed in on the terrorists.
The FBI believe Atta took over the controls of one of the flights from Boston and steered it into the World Trade Center.
His name has reportedly been found by agents sifting through the flight manual of the doomed aircraft.
The FBI picked him out because he has been linked to terrorist organisations in the past.
Atta's former residence near Fort Lauderdale, Florida was among the locations FBI agents searched on Wednesday.
Agents carted away boxes of records from the flying school in Venice, Florida, where Atta and al Shehhi took lessons to obtain their commercial flight rating.
A book-keeper at the school said: "The men claimed they were German cousins. They qualified in January and didn't mingle with other students."
Atta and al Shehhi lived briefly with a local couple, Charles and Drew Voss.
But Drew kicked them out after a week because they were rude. She said the men also told her they were German, with Atta saying his name was Otto.
In Coral Springs, FBI agents visited an apartment complex that Atta listed as his last address with the state motor vehicle agency.
They showed neighbours a picture of an Arab man known as Mohamed.
And the FBI in Miami issued a national bulletin for law agencies to look out for two cars.
Records with the Florida Division of Motor Vehicles show that one of the vehicles the FBI was pursuing - a 1989 red Pontiac - was registered to Atta. The Pontiac has not been found.
Meanwhile, THREE men were detained after armed cops raided a Boston hotel.
THREE more were dragged off a New York-bound Amtrak train in Providence, Rhode Island. And another THREE were held in Florida.
Officers pounced at Boston's four-star Westin Hotel after a rented car was found at the city's Logan airport containing flight manuals in Arabic.
Two of the men held were of Middle Eastern appearance and one Asian. In Providence, a witness told how three men were herded off the train.
One of the trio was a man with a long beard.
