Co-pilot Ihab Mohammed Ali trained at the Norman, OK airman flight school and received a license from them in 1994. Ihab Ali Nawawi, identified by prosecutors as a member of Egyptian Islamic Jihad and a bin Laden confederate, had also received pilot training at the same school in Norman, Oklahoma, near Oklahoma City. The FBI New York Counterterrrism office contacted the Norman flight school in 1999 specifically about Ihab ALi,Ihab Nawawi, Atta and AlSheehii and told the flight school that the FBI knew Bin LAden had pilots visiting (9/11 hijacker pilots Atta and AlShehi) and attending ( Ihab Ali and Ihab Nawawi) the Norman flight school who were training for terrorist missions with airplanes. This information was also known to the FBI in Washington DC , Louis Freeh and Bill Clinton.
ElHAge who contacted BIn Laden's pilot elRidi worked directly with the FBI informant, Ali Mohammed, an Egyptian, out of Dallas Texas while Ali Mohammed set up ALqaeda cells in the US and moved Bin Laden from Sudan to Afghanistan-this was all known to the FBI from 1992 to 1998. The FBI used 12 Dallas police officers to follwo Ali Mohammed, El HAge and other AlQaeda around the US, Dallas, and around the world as reported by Dallas TV stations in 1998. THis is another example of failed FBI policy of allowing known terrrosits to circulate for years in the US while they set up terror celss and train for more terror missions.This policy is still being followed by the FBI and is known to the DOJ, White House and the Senate Judiciary Committee who discussed it with me two monts ago.
