LOL....not hardly. You should see the other stuff I found last night, it is truly scary and makes the info I posted here look irrelevant. I haven't posted any of it because I need to check out the reliability of the sources first whenever I get a minute.
I've never been a tin-foil sorta person, but I'm beginning to rethink my position on this one. There are just too many "coincidences" of Middle-Eastern sightings and involvement. I'll get back to you guys when I find out more.
No, but she plays one on the internet!
You have it right the first time. That's all you need to post a picture.
JUST < img src=http://URL/filename.jpg > (with the beginning and end spaces closed.)
http://us.news1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/nm/20010926/amdf55508.jpg
Just insert that URL address between < img src= and a closing >
Take out the space between the < and the i and the space between the g and the >
It should look like this:

With no spaces after and before the < >'s
He is a possible Egyptian national.
He used the birthday Sept. 1, 1968.
Aliases include: Mehan Atta; Mohammad El Amir; Muhammad Atta; Mohamed
El Sayed; Mohamed Elllsayed; Muhammad Muhammad Al Amir Awag Al
Sayyid Atta; Muhammad Muhammad Al-Amir Awad Al Sayad.
Identified by the FBI as the man who piloted the first plane to crash into the
World Trade Center, Atta is said to have met early this year with the head of
the Iraqi intelligence service, a report Iraq denies.
Atta, who had an Egyptian driver's license, is also reported to have met with
several Islamic extremists at a hotel at the Spanish beach resort Salou.
At times he used the name Mohamed El-Amir, as he did for eight years while
an electrical engineering student at the Technical University in Hamburg,
Germany, where he had ties to an Islamic group that planned attacks on
American targets, and lived with Marwan Al-Shehhi, a cousin who also
appears on the FBI's hijacker list.
The two men are believed to have arrived in the U.S. in May. Atta lived in
Venice, Coral Springs, and Hollywood, Fla., where he may have used public
computers at two libraries, and where he and Al-Shehhi were spotted
partying the Friday before Sept. 11, playing video games and drinking.
Both men trained as pilots at Huffman Aviation in Venice, where they lived
together, and practiced on Boeing 727 flight simulators at SimCenter in
Opalacka, Fla.
Based on an eyewitness identification, investigators believe Atta was one
of a group of five men holed up in the Valencia Hotel in Laurel, Md., in
August and September, driving an older model Toyota Corolla with California
license plates.
Video surveillance photos of the airport in Portland, Me., show Atta and
Abdulaziz Alomari rushing to make a flight from Maine to Boston early on
the morning of the hijackings.

And of course I believe he could have easily been in and out of the U.S. before May.
Report: Relief pilot ordered EgyptAir co-pilot out of seat
WASHINGTON -- The relief co-pilot suspected of
putting EgyptAir Flight 990 into a fatal dive reportedly
used his seniority to order the plane's co-pilot out of his
seat shortly before the crash. Gameel el-Batouty "pull(ed)
rank" on the younger co-pilot, investigators told the New
York Times.The conversation between the more senior aviator
el-Batouty, 59, and co-pilot Adel Anwar, 36, was in
Arabic. Three U.S. officials who described it told the
newspaper they were relying on translations and the tone
of voice.They would not give specific wording of the conversation,
which was recorded on the plane's cockpit voice recorder
before the plane plunged into the ocean off
Nantucket Island, Massachusetts, killing all 217 people
aboard."He was using his stature," said one official, who
described el-Batouty as being "very assertive." Another
U.S. official told the Times that "very insistent" was a
better description than "assertive."
Okay, yes, I'm creeping myself out here...YIKES! I'd better leave this and go shopping a while.......LOL!
If this is for real, absolutely!
