"Atta Boy" did not move around undetected. He was in federal control at least four times prior to the attack on 9/11. Each time he was kicked loose. One of his confederates was seized in Minneapolis, so the FBI has all the tools it needs RIGHT NOW to stop the terrorist cells. That is how they rounded up over 1000 of them after the attack. Like the LAPD and the Crips and Bloods, the FBI knows all the haunts of the PLO, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and the whole damn bunch. They just weren't able to do anything about them under Clinton, and they did NOT meet in mosques in each and every case. For example, a certain restaurant was used every Thursday night in one city.

Apparently there was some guy with a similar name (Mahmoud Atta, a naturalized citizen from Pakistan) who was arrested in New York in 1987, but they've determined that it wasn't the same guy.
