Alleged Hijackers Still Alive After September 11, 2001

Robert Fisk reported that Abdulrahman al-Omari, a pilot with Saudi Airlines, went to the U.S. consulate in Jeddah to demand an apology for being listed as one of the 19 hijackers.[1] Al-Omari received an official apology from the United States but coverage of this acknowledgement was not made known by major media outlets in the U.S. Alleged 9/11 hijackers Saeed Alghamdi and Ahmed Alnami, both pilots for Saudi Arabian Airlines, also announced that they are alive.[2] On September 22, 2001, alleged suicide hijacker Wail Alshehri announced from Morocco that he is alive and innocent.[3] These major news events outside the U.S., are curiously glossed over or not reported inside the U.S. by major media outlets. On September 27, 2001, CBS reported it tracked down alleged hijacker Salem Alhamzi, an employee of a government-owned petrochemical complex in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia. While the list of alleged hijackers was rapidly proven to be nonsense, over a decade later the 19 names and pictures are still being sold as the people responsible to an uninformed American public.[4]

 

Reports in the U.S. media soon after 9/11 pointed to the fact that several of the alleged hijackers names matched people who had attended U.S. military schools. For example, on September 15, 2001 Newsweek reported "U.S. military sources have given the FBI information that suggests five of the alleged hijackers of the planes used in Tuesday's terror attacks received training at secure U.S. military installations in the 1990s."[5]

The FBI still says these are the terrorists.14 But when they are found alive, the FBI says their identity was stolen, and its not the terrorist.15
 

Remember that suspicious bin Laden "confession" video?
 

  • How could he praise uninvolved living people12 for the 9/11 hijackings?
     
  • If they stole identities, how did the FBI identify those passengers as terrorists? Not by flight calls, which contradict the FBI13 information!

     

  • These aren't the first mistakes. FBI quickly had amended the original list8, as the original "suicide hijackers" came forward!

Two others, Hamza Alghamdi and Ahmed Alnami, have names similar to individuals listed in public records as using the same address inside the base. In addition, a man named Saeed Alghamdi graduated from the Defense Language Institute at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, while men with the same names as two other hijackers, Mohamed Atta and Abdulaziz Alomari, appear as graduates of the U.S. International Officers School at Maxwell Air Force Base, Ala., and the Aerospace Medical School at Brooks Air Force Base in San Antonio, respectively.

    A man named by the US Department of Justice as a suicide hijacker of American Airlines flight 11 ­ the first airliner to smash into the World Trade Centre ­ is very much alive and living in Jeddah. Abdulrahman al-Omari, a pilot with Saudi Airlines, was astonished to find himself accused of hijacking ­ as well as being dead ­ and has visited the US consulate in Jeddah to demand an explanation.

    Mr Al-Hamzi is 26 and had just returned to work at a petrochemical complex in the industrial eastern city of Yanbou after a holiday in Saudi Arabia when the hijackers struck. He was accused of hijacking the American Airlines Flight 77 that hit the Pentagon. He said: "I have never been to the United States and have not been out of Saudi Arabia in the past two years." The FBI described him as 21 and said that his possible residences were Fort Lee or Wayne, both in New Jersey.

    Based on information from multiple law enforcement sources, CNN reported that Adnan Bukhari and Ameer Bukhari of Vero Beach Florida, were suspected to be two of the pilots who crashed planes into the World Trade Center. CNN later learned that Adnan Bukhari is still in Florida, where he was questioned by the FBI. We are sorry for the misinformation. A federal law enforcement source now tells CNN that Bukhari passed an FBI polygraph and is not considered a suspect. Through his attorney, Bukhari says that he is helping authorities. Ameer Bukhari died in a small plane crash last year.      

    Some of those involved in the plot left suicide notes, but they are not believed to have been the hijackers, a government source told The Associated Press. It was unclear whether those who left the notes actually killed themselves.

    by Seymour Hersh - 10/1/01
    Many of the investigators believe that some of the initial clues that were uncovered about the terrorists' identities and preparations, such as flight manuals, were meant to be found. A former high-level intelligence official told me, "Whatever trail was left was left deliberately--for the F.B.I. to chase."      

    In interviews over the past two weeks, a number of intelligence officials have raised questions about Osama bin Laden's capabilities. "This guy sits in a cave in Afghanistan and he's running this operation?" one C.I.A. official asked. "It's so huge. He couldn't have done it alone." A senior military officer told me that because of the visas and other documentation needed to infiltrate team members into the United States, a major foreign intelligence service might also have been involved.

    At Freeway Airport in Bowie, Md., 20 miles west of Washington, flight instructor Sheri Baxter instantly recognized the name of alleged hijacker Hani Hanjour when the FBI released a list of 19 suspects in the four hijackings. Hanjour, the only suspect on Flight 77 the FBI listed as a pilot, had come to the airport one month earlier seeking to rent a small plane.... However, when Baxter and fellow instructor Ben Conner took....Hanjour on three test runs during the second week of August, they found he had trouble controlling and landing the single-engine Cessna 172. .....chief flight instructor Marcel Bernard declined to rent him a plane without more lessons.

    ...the unidentified pilot executed a pivot so tight that it reminded observers of a fighter jet maneuver. The plane circled 270 degrees to the right to approach the Pentagon from the west, whereupon Flight 77 fell below radar level, vanishing from controllers' screens, the sources said.... Aviation sources said the plane was flown with extraordinary skill, making it highly likely that a trained pilot was at the helm... Someone even knew how to turn off the transponder, a move that is considerably less than obvious.
