Meet the four unknown 911 hijackers! [View All]

[John Doe II]

Excuse me for the length of this text but I think the subject and the many surprises it will contain are enough reason to write this!

Right after 911 four names emerged as suspected hijackers by the FBI (besides Mohamed Atta and Marwan al Shehhi):
Adnan and Ameer Bukhari, Abdul Rahman Alomari and Ameer Taiyb Kamfar.
As none of them turned out to be on the first official hijacker list from September 14 I though it would be worth having a closer look at them.

I. The hijackers

Adnan and Ameer Bukhari:
One of the first names to come up in the media after 911 are Adnan Bukhari and Ameer Bukhari:
Both Saudi citizen lived in Vero Beach and both had been pilots.

“Law enforcement sources say that two of the suspected hijackers, at least two of them, lived here in Vero Beach. Two of them are brothers that lived here. (…) One of them is Adnan Bukhari. We have a photograph of him. He is said to be in his '40s. He is described as a commercial pilot for Saudi Arabian Airlines. Also living in Vero Beach, Bukhari's brother, Ameer. Both lived here with their wives and children. (…)
Now this afternoon, we also had a chance to go inside one of rented homes. This is the one rented by Adnan Bukhari. It was searched this day by the FBI. And according to documents left behind by agents, they seized a number of items, including a computer, computer software, U.S. immigration papers, bank receipts, phone cards, a flight safety bag. (…) We also saw a pilot certificate, as well as a certificate that they had received specialized instruction on multiengine planes. (…) These pilots, we are told by law enforcement sources, attended flight safety international, a flight school here in Vero Beach. Law enforcement sources also tell CNN that the Bukhari brothers were believed to have been on of the two flights out of Boston, one of those two flights that wound up slamming into the World Trade Center.”
(CNN, 9/12/01 3 p.m.)
http://archives.cnn.com/2001/US/09/12/investigation.terrorism/
(Palm Beach Post, 9/21/01)

“Police and law enforcement sources said the two brothers suspected in the Boston hijackings were Adnan Bukhari and Ameer Abbas Bukhari, who up until recent days had lived in Vero Beach, Florida. Both of their homes have been searched, the sources said.”
http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/200109/13/eng20010913_80131.html

“(Adnan) Bukhari (…) had just finished a yearlong training stint at FlightSafety Academy in Vero Beach. He sent his wife and four young children home the week before.”
(Palm Beach Post, 9/21/01)

“Law enforcement sources said the FBI is seeking to question the family members as material witnesses. “
http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/200109/13/eng20010913_80131.html

Abdul Rahman Al Omari:
Abdul Rahman Al Omari was a Saudi Airlines pilot living next door to Adnan Bukhari. He attended the Vero Beach pilot school Flight Safety Academy as well and left on September 3, 2001 with his family too.
(Palm Beach Post, 9/21/09)

“Abdulrahman Alomari, (…) is listed in FAA records as having worked in flight operations for the Saudi airline and who was sitting next to Atta in the business section of American Airlines Flight 11, according to the passenger manifest”
http://www.abqtrib.com/archives/news01/091401_news_plan.shtmlve to Maine, police said.
(Press Journal, 9/14/01)
(Orlando-Sentinel, 9/14/01)

There was also a very close relationship between Adnan Bukhari and Al Omari.
Bukhari helped Al Omari to rent the house next door.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article&contentId=A21162-2001Sep12¬Found=true

“Bukhari lived in one house and Abdul Rahman Alomari, 38, in the other.”
(Sun-Sentinel, 9/14/01)

“Abdul Rahman Al Omari recently left with his family too”.
(Palm Beach Post, 9/21/01)

“Alomari was last seen by his landlord and neighbors on Monday. (September 3, 2001)”
(Sun-Sentinel, 9/14/01)

And also quite suspicious:
“The Minnesota ID card found in a Vero Beach, Fla., home was issued to Abdulrahman Alomari, listing a St. Paul address. (…) The owner of the St. Paul home, who rents rooms to people studying English in a private program, said she didn't think Alomari, 38, ever lived in the house.”
(AP, 9/14/01 d)

Reasons enough not only to Atta’s apartment in Coral Springs and Adnan Bukhari’s house….:
“The day after the attacks on the Pentagon and New York, 40 FBI agents descended on Abdul Rahman Alomari's former address at 4032 57th Terrace in a dawn raid. Agents pounded on doors shortly after 5 a.m., evacuating houses and herding residents to the end of the street, where some still in pajamas huddled under umbrellas and sat in their cars. Agents feared that Alomari's house might have been booby-trapped or could have contained a bomb.
(…)
Agents spent 12 hours searching his house. They also began an intensive investigation of his friends, almost all Saudi FlightSafety students.”
(Palm Beach Post, 9/18/01)


Ameer Taiyb Kamfar:
Kamfar was a commercial pilot too and he had a direct connection to the three above mentioned hijackers:
He lived at the same address as Abdul Rahman Alomari and went to the same Flight School as him. He too left on September 3.
“Kamfar, 41, lived at the same Vero Beach address as Abdulrahman Alomari, who is listed in FAA records as having worked in flight operations for the Saudi airline and who was sitting next to Atta in the business section of American Airlines Flight 11, according to the passenger manifest.”
http://www.abqtrib.com/archives/news01/091401_news_plan.shtmlve to Maine, police said.

Kamfar and Abdul Rahman Al Omari “had both allegedly trained at the Vero Beach pilot school Flight Safety Academy”.
http://www.sfweekly.com/issues/2001-09-19/news/smith.html
(Palm Beach Post, 9/18/01)

But the connection didn’t end there:
Like Adnan Bukhari Kamfar “had the Saudi Arabian Airlines post office box in the Saudi city of Jeddah, listed as their home addresses on their commercial pilots' licenses.”
http://www.abqtrib.com/archives/news01/091401_news_plan.shtmlve to Maine, police said.

And there was more reason for a concrete suspicion:
“Kamfar's behavior had been suspicious enough that his neighbor, Piper Aircraft employee Henry Habora, called the FBI at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday to report it. Kamfar, Habora said, kept unusual hours and wore a pilot's uniform. Then, two weeks ago, Kamfar quickly left with his wife and four children.
"They basically dumped everything that they had in their van and took off," Habora said in an interview. "They were good neighbors. They were quiet."
The FBI, which has been combing the passenger manifests of all four planes, was already focused on Kamfar by the time Habora called. About eight agents quickly arrived at Habora's door with a photo of Kamfar and asked if it was the same person.”
(Chicago Tribune, 9/13/01)
http://www.sfweekly.com/issues/2001-09-19/news/smith.html
(Vancouver Province, 9/13/01)

This is all very convincing. (And the pattern of suspicion are very similar to the 19 known hijackers)
There is just a small problem: Theses are not the hijackers!


II. Investigation:

Leaving the flight manifest (and the resulting problems if theses four names were listed) aside the only further explanation I found (thanks to Frank Levi!) for the assumption of the two Bukharis being hijackers is a possible link to the car left at the Portland airport.
While CNN just mentions theses two information side by side without making a direct link:
“Law enforcement sources also tell CNN that the Bukhari brothers were believed to have been on of the two flights out of Boston, one of those two flights that wound up slamming into the World Trade Center.
Also we can report to you that a car impounded in Portland, Maine, according to law enforcement authorities, was rented at Boston Logan Airport and driven to Portland, Maine.”
(CNN, 9/12/01 3:00 p. m.)

The only more concrete explanation I managed to find is this:
“Police and law enforcement sources said the two brothers suspected in the Boston hijackings were Adnan Bukhari and Ameer Abbas Bukhari, who up until recent days had lived in Vero Beach, Florida. Both of their homes have been searched, the sources said.
The two rented a car, a silver-blue Nissan Altima, from an Alamo car rental at Boston's Logan Airport and drove to an airport in Portland, Maine, where they got on US Airways Flight 5930 at 6 a.m. Tuesday headed back to Boston, the sources said."
http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/200109/13/eng20010913_80131.html

Sounds familiar?
Right. This is part of the official story with the small difference that the car was driven by Mohammed Atta and Abdulaziz Al Omari (who happened to have been filmed passing the security gate).
I read all articles on Lexis-Nexis about Bukhari but nowhere I found an explanation for this mix-up nor an explanation what possible proof in general could have been found inside the car that was evidence enough that the two Bukharis were hijackers aboard the airplanes on 911.
But the FBI didn’t have to bother with the problem of explaining as they were facing a very concrete problem when raiding Adnan Bukhari’s house:
“The day after the attacks on Washington and New York City, Adnan Bukhari awoke at 5:10 a.m. to the sound of knocking on his front door. Then knocking became a hammering. Bukhari realized men were all around his house, banging on all his windows. Half-awake, he opened the front door. Six FBI agents, armed and wearing bulletproof vests, strode inside.”
(Palm Beach Post, 9/21/01)

One can only imagine the surprise for the FBI to meet the supposed hijacker of a suicide mission alive. Although it took CNN a whole day till they realized that Adnan Bukhari was alive (although they had reported live from his house at 3 p. m. still considering him as a dead hijacker) before he was called “alleged associate” of 911.

Actually when Bukhari was taken for an interview the media only knew that “in Vero Beach, FBI agents detained an unidentified man in connection with the case.”
http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article&contentId=A21162-2001Sep12¬Found=true

But very soon the FBI was facing the next problem: Ameer Bukhari had a perfect alibi for not being a hijacker on 911:
“Ameer Bukhari (…) had died in an air collision above the St. Lucie County International Airport exactly a year before the attacks”.
(Palm Beach Post, 9/21/01)
http://archives.cnn.com/2001/US/09/12/investigation.terrorism/

But the next surprise followed soon.
In the interview with the FBI on September 12 Adnan Bukhari of course didn’t have to prove anymore that he wasn’t aboard an airplane on 911 but he had to answer tough questions about his close friendship to the hijacker Abdul Rahman Al Omari.
But he had luck and once again was able to present a convincing proof of his innocence:
“Just as the questions began, Bukhari's cell phone rang.
It was Alomari.
Bukhari turned to his attorney: "You're never going to believe who this is."
Bukhari handed the phone to the FBI agent.
"I think from that they started to realize I had nothing to do with it and it was just a mistake with the names."
(Palm Beach Post, 9/21/01)

“He (was) released after the FBI concluded he wasn't involved in the hijackings, federal law enforcement sources said.”
http://www.abqtrib.com/archives/news01/091401_news_plan.shtml

This phone call was a lucky coincidence as it not only provided a proof of innocence for Adnan Bukhari but also for Abdul Rahman Al Omari.
CNN reported:

CANDIOTTI: In Saudi Arabia, this man watches the horror of the World Trade Center attack unfolding, then hears his name mentioned as a suspected terrorist, and sees a picture of himself provided by a law enforcement source to CNN.
ABDUL RAHMAN ALOMARI, SAUDI ARABIAN AIRLINES: It was painful for me, for my family, for my kids in school. My pictures were all over the world
(CNN, 9/21/01)

He “said US officials in Riyadh had offered him an official apology in the presence of Saudi interior ministry officials.”
(Agence France Press, 9/19/01)

So, also about their third hijacker the FBI was simply wrong.
If you say not: Wait a moment but Al Omari WAS aboard AA 11, you’re right and wrong. See below!

Just a small but not very surprising addition:
Officials confirmed that also Ameer Taiyb Kamfar was alive in Saudi Arabia.
(Palm Beach Post, 9/21/01)
The FBI wasn’t looking for him anymore.
(Palm Beach Post, 9/15/01)

III. What had happened?

Adnan and Ameer Bukhari:

“Bukhari's attorney told CNN Wednesday that Bukhari is not connected with the terrorist attacks, that he is helping authorities, and that any documents found with his name meant his identity was stolen. He said Bukhari had passed an FBI-administered lie detector test. He also said Ameer Bukhari, the pilot killed in a mid-air crash in Vero Beach last Sept. 11, was not his brother, as had been reported.”
(Palm Beach Post, 9/15/01)

So, a simple case of stolen identity (even the identity theft of a dead person)? This will be examined below.
Just let’s say that investigating Adnan Bukhari can have negative consequences:
When James P. Hopkins, an International Aviation Operations Specialist with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in Washington, DC, read on September 13 that at least one hijacker on each plane had had flight training in the US he searched the two names “Atta” and “Bukhari”.
His search was successful: He found “a match did appear for the name “Bukhari,” indicating that an individual with that surname, and also from Saudi Arabia, was trained in Aviation Security at the FAA Academy in 1991 and 1998”. “Mr. Hopkins has alleged that when he walked over to FAA Security (…). About thirty minutes later, Mr. Hopkins’ first-level supervisor placed him on administrative leave and sent him home.”
http://www.osc.gov/documents/press/2001/pr01_25.htm

(It shall not be withhold that “the Merit Systems Protection Board granted OSC’s petition to put Mr. James P. Hopkins back to work” on October 18, 2001.)

Abdul Rahman Al Omari:
In case you’re convinced that the Abdul Rahman Al Omari was indeed a hijacker on 911 then the following article of “USA Today” (published after the FBI released the list of the hijackers on September 14) will strengthen your point:

“Abdul Alomari
· Age: Believed to be 38
· Possible residence: Vero Beach, Fla., with his wife and four school-aged children. He paid $1,400 per month in rent.
· Gave his landlord 30 days notice and said he would be out of the house by the end of August. Then he pushed the date back until Sept. 3 and moved out that day, telling his landlord he was going back home.
· Rated as a private pilot and flight engineer, listing his address as Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, according to FAA records. He listed his previous employer as Saudi Flight Ops, which handles maintenance for Saudi Arabian Airlines at Kennedy airport in New York.”
http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2001/09/14/hijacker-profiles.htm

But let’s have a look now at the official FBI list:
“ Abdulaziz Alomari - Date of birth used: December 24, 1972 and May 28, 1979; Possible residence: Hollywood, Florida; Believed to be a pilot.”
http://www.fbi.gov/pressrel/pressrel01/091401hj.htm

Clearly the name is not “Abdul Rahman” nor just “Abdul” but “Abdulaziz”.
That’s why the “Palm Beach Post” concluded:
“Abdul Rahman Alomari, identified as Abdulaziz Alomari on the list of suspected hijackers”.
(Palm Beach Post, 9/15/01)

But besides the name all other information is different as well: While the Al Omari listed by “USA Today” is obviously the one we’ve met the Al Omari looked for by the FBI is not 38 years old and doesn’t live in Vero Beach.
Therefore it’s not a simple confusion about an Arab name.
He’s simply a completely different person.

But as the names are almost perfectly identical it doesn’t come as a surprise that it took the media a bit of time to adapt to the official Al Omari:

“Mohamed Atta, Waleed Al-Shehri, Wail Al-Shehri, Abdul Rahman Al-Omari, and Satam Al-Suqami were the five hijackers who took over American Airlines Flight 11, en route from Boston to Los Angeles, and slammed it into the World Trade Center, according to a source familiar with the FBI's list of the hijackers.”
(Orlando-Sentinel, 9/14/01)

On September 16 the “Toronto Sun” names the hijacker Abul Rahman Alomari.
http://www.canoe.ca/CNEWSAttack010916/16_week-sun.html

And still on September 19:
“Abdulrahaman Alomari, who was passenger 8G on American Airlines Flight 11, and Amer Kamfar, also suspected by the FBI of being among the World Trade Center hijackers, had both allegedly trained at the Vero Beach pilot school Flight Safety Academy two miles from Hagberg's home before vacating their Vero Beach apartment Sept. 3. They presumably died a week later.”
http://www.sfweekly.com/issues/2001-09-19/news/smith.html

Only on September 16 the “authorities” seemed to realize that something was odd:
“The authorities said today that it appeared a case of mistaken identity had led the Federal Bureau of Investigation to search the former home and to interview the friends of a Saudi Arabian pilot whose name is similar to one used by one of the hijackers of American Airlines Flight 11, the first plane to crash into the World Trade Center.”
(New York Times, 9/16/01)
http://www.wanttoknow.info/010915nytimes

The comment of the New York Times is quite interesting:
“If that is the case, Abdul Rahman Alomari fell victim to a remarkable set of circumstances. Apart from the similarity in names, the interest of investigators was clearly aroused by the fact that he had studied at a Florida flight school, as had several of the suspected hijackers. Both investigators and reporters became further intrigued when Mr. Alomari's landlord and neighbors told them he had sent his wife and four children back to Saudi Arabia less than two weeks before the attack.”
(New York Times, 9/16/01)
http://www.wanttoknow.info/010915nytimes

So, here too, just a case of stolen identity?
We will examine this below.

Amer Taiyb Kamfar:

About the investigation surrounding Kamfar there is a short but notworthy story to tell:

After Kamfar is being named as a hijacker of 911 the story changed (without any explanation that I could find) and the FBI put out an alert for Kamfar (who was apparently considered to be very much alive and still in the US):
“Agents fanned out across town and issued a statewide alert for Amer Taiyb Kamfar, who records showed once lived with Abdul Rahman Alomari and attended FlightSafety. The alert reportedly said Kamfar was carrying an AK-47 and should be approached with extreme caution.”
(Palm Beach Post, 9/18/01)

But then:
“However, the FBI did say it no longer was looking for Amer Taiyb Kamfar, who lived at the same Vero Beach address as Abdul Rahman Alomari, identified as Abdulaziz Alomari on the list of suspected hijackers. The alert for Kamfar, put out to all law enforcement agencies on Wednesday, had described him as armed and extremely dangerous. FBI spokeswoman Judy Orihuela said she couldn't comment on why the bulletin was rescinded.”
(Palm Beach Post, 9/15/01)

Kamfar seems to be a perfect example of how somebody can turn in only a couple of days from a dead hijacker into a heavily armed and extremely dangerous man into a pure innocent person.
So, why was he suspected in the first place?
Another case of stolen identity?


IV. What really happened?
As I’m completely lost and see no way to explain the concrete suspicion of Adnan and Ameer Bukhari, Abdul Rahman Al Omari and Ameer Kamfaar as hijackers on 911 I propose simply to go through all theoretical possibilities.
1. So, just let’s assume that the nineteen names of the official hijacker list were indeed on the flight manifest:
This immediately bears the problem how to explain the immediate suspicion against our four innocent? That they would have been suspected associates ok but suicide hijackers? In order to suspect them and to assume their names are not on the flight manifest the FBI had to believe that our four suspects had used stolen identities themselves. Why could they assume that? Why not suspect at first the persons whose names are actually written on the manifest? Moreover the Bukharis were believed to have taken the Portland flight to Boston (the one that Atta and Abdulaziz Al Omari are known to have taken): Then the FBI can only have suspected EITHER Atta and Al Omari or the Bukharis. But Atta and the Bukharis are the first suspects of 911!
So, I don’t see any possibility to believe that actually the nineteen names officially known as hijackers are written on the manifests (the ones that never have been made public).
Even if the information was wrong that the Bukharis were suspected to have taken the Portland flight then the simple fact that the Bukharis are besides Atta the first ones to be suspected suffice to prove that this assumption can’t stand the test of logic.
Moreover there is one early statement (from September 13, a day when Adnan Bukhari was still considered a dead suicide hijacker):
”Officials said many of yesterday's searches and detentions were prompted by a review of the passenger manifests of the four hijacked planes.”
http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article&contentId=A21162-2001Sep12¬Found=true

The only solution is that the at least three identities had been stolen (Al Omari is a special case). Therefore we should bury all official and unofficial statements that the hijackers had used their real names to buy the tickets.
Robert Bonner, the head of Customs and Border Protection, gave the following statement before the 9/11 Commission:
“On the morning of 9/11, through an evaluation of data related to the passengers manifest for the four terrorist hijacked aircraft, Customs Office of Intelligence was able to identify the likely terrorist hijackers. Within 45 minutes of the attacks, Customs forwarded the passenger lists with the names of the victims and 19 probable hijackers to the FBI and the intelligence community.”
http://www.9-11commission.gov/hearings/hearing7/witness_bonner.htm

And in the actual hearing on January 26, 2004:
“MR. BEN-VENISTE: Let me ask you briefly about your statement about the day on 9/11 which I found very interesting. You say that, on the morning of 9/11, through an evaluation of data related to the passenger manifest of the four terrorist hijacked aircraft, Customs Office of Intelligence was able to identify the likely terrorist hijackers within 45 minutes of the attack, Customs forwarded the passenger lists with the names of the victims and 19 probable hijackers to the FBI and the intelligence community. How are your people able to do that?
MR. BONNER: Well, it was pretty simple actually. We were able to pull from the airlines the passenger manifest for each of the four flights. We ran the manifest through the TECS/IBIS system. This is essentially the lookout system that both U.S. Customs and INS use but it's maintained by Customs. We ran it through the system. Two of the passengers on those aircraft were hits for having been entered on the watchlist in August of 2001. That was al Mihdhar and I forget the other one's name but they were the two people that had gone to Singapore that the CIA had identified. But they actually were put on the watchlist in August of 2001 by the FBI. So they hit on those two.
Just using those two hits and taking a look at some other basic data about the flight manifest, both in terms of -- I don't want to go into a lot of detail -- but where they were seated, where they purchased their tickets, you could do just a quick link analysis and essentially, I remember I was at Secret Service headquarters, as I said, but I would say whether it was 45 minutes, I don't know but my recollection is that certainly by 11:00 a.m., I'd seen a sheet that essentially identified the 19 probable hijackers. And in fact, they turned out to be, based upon further follow-up in detailed investigation, to be the 19. “
http://www.9-11commission.gov/archive/hearing7/9-11Commission_Hearing_2004-01-26.htm

It gives a shocking insight into the work of the “Independent Commission” that not a single question follows up concerning Hani Hanjour (who was added on the FBI list only on September 14) or the four persons this article is dealing with.
In plain English: This repeated statement under oath complete BS. And nobody cared about the problem of identifying the hijackers.

2. So, now let’s just assume that at least three identities had been stolen on 911.
Already the fact that one is left with this as the only explanation leaves a bad taste in the mouth: all statements that the hijackers bought tickets under their real names are wrong. All statements about the way how the 19 hijackers had been identified are wrong too.
Moreover nowhere there is any explanation given by the FBI for any suspicion against any of the four mentioned cases:
The story about the car that the two Bukharis had been supposed to have driven to Portland simply changes and no explanation is given. Adnan Bukhari turns from suicide hijacker to associate and no explanation is given.
Well, then we’ve to think for ourselves!

So, let’s assume at least three identities had been stolen and let’s compare the list of suspected hijackers with the official list:

Mohamed Atta Mohamed Atta
Abdul Rahman Al Omari Abdulaziz Al Omari
Adnan Bukhari Waleed Al Shehri
Ameer Bukhari Wail Al Shehri
Ameer Kamfar Satam Al Suqami

If we just assume that the FBI simply got confused with the middle name of Al Omari and his identity wasn’t stolen but it was just a coincidence that led the FBI on the wrong track then we find that apparently the Al Shehri brothers stole the identity of the Bukhari brothers and Al Suqami went for Kamfar (and in the process of uncovering this theft the world famous crash-tested passport of Al Suqami might enter the game …).
Here again are numerous questions:
Why doesn’t the FBI indicate anywhere that identities had been stolen nor how they managed to uncover them within a single day!
Why do theses hijackers steal identities while all the hijackers that had already been known to authorities before 911 didn’t change their identities: Mohamed Atta, Nawaf Alhazmi and Khalid Almihdhar?
What are the odds that they not only managed to steal several identities but the identities of a whole group of “perfect” suspects: living next door to each other, being Arabs, pilots, another pair of brothers (although later it was figured out they only shared the same (rare) name and lived in the same city), another Al Omari who accidentally is pilot too lives next door and is a close friend, and many of them leaving the country shortly before 911??
How probable is it to find such a group??
How did they manage that? This would imply a great deal of research and nowhere it is stated that the hijackers had spend longer time in Vero Beach (as they must have in order to find their “perfect victims”? Why run the risk of stealing the identity of a dead person?
And what’s the sense of this very time-consuming operation? To tease the FBI post mortem for 48 hours?
So, even if there is no other explanation possible I must say this doesn’t make any sense!


But it gets even weirder!
At the end let’s have a close look at Abdul Rahman Al Omari. We had assumed it was just a confusion over his middle name that led FBI to the wrong place and the wrong person.
We’ve seen that Abdul Rahman is clearly a different person than Abdulaziz.
“(T)he FBI accidentally may have fused two names to create one identity, because another man, Abdul Rahman al-Omari, who has a different birth date, is the person pictured by the FBI, but he still is a pilot for Saudi Arabian Airlines. After his photograph was released, he walked into the U.S. Embassy in Jedda and demanded to know why he was being reported as a dead hijacker.”
(Insight the News, 7/7/03)

So identity and photo stolen of a perfect victim: Arabian pilot etc.
So the real hijacker is Abdulaziz Al Omari. Ok.
But now look at this:

“Abdul Aziz al-Omari was identified as one of the hijackers and the pilot who crashed American Airlines Flight 11 into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Another man with the same name is an electrical engineer in Saudi Arabia. He lived in Denver after earning a degree from the University of Colorado in 1993. Coincidence? Consider this oddity. ABC News has reported that his Denver apartment was broken into and his passport and other documents stolen in 1995. In September 2001 he told the Telegraph, ‘I couldn't believe it when the FBI put me on their list. They gave my name and my date of birth, but I am not a suicide bomber. I am here. I am alive. I have no idea how to fly a plane. I had nothing to do with this.’”
(Insight the News, 7/7/03)

So another case of stolen identity??
Does this mean that the real hijacker stole the identity of Abdulaziz and stole again or profited miraculously from the identity of Abdul Rahman???
But the oddities surrounding this name aren’t finished!

“Three of the men identified as the hijackers in the attacks on Tuesday have the same names as alumni of American military schools, the authorities said today. The men were identified as Mohamed Atta, Abdulaziz al-Omari and Saeed al-Ghamdi.
The Defense Department said Mr. Atta had gone to the International Officers School at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama; Mr. al-Omari to the Aerospace Medical School at Brooks Air Force Base in Texas ; and Mr. al-Ghamdi to the Defense Language Institute at the Presidio in Monterey, Calif.”
(New York Times, 9/15/01)
http://www.wanttoknow.info/010915nytimes

This doesn’t sound very much like an electrical engineer from Denver. The name Abdul Al Omari bears apparently lots of surprises

(It shall not be withheld:
One day later the comment is slightly different but not really convincing:
“Some of the FBI suspects had names similar to those used by foreign alumni of U.S. military courses," the Air Force acknowledged in a statement. ‘However, discrepancies in their biographical data, such as birth dates 20 years off, indicate we are probably not talking about the same people.’”
http://www.delawareonline.com/newsjournal/local/2001/09/16reconstructingt.html

I can only quote Daniel Hopsicker:
“‘Probably not talking about the same people’
does not quite strike the right note of decisive certitude that we would expect when discussing the identities of the people who have just been responsible for the deaths of 6000 more-or-less vaporized Americans.”)

Here a small reminder of how things were spposed to be:
“FBI Director Robert Mueller said the bureau's first mission is to identify the hijackers, and that many of them have been identified.”
(Chicago Tribune, 9/13/01)

“’We will leave no stone unturned until we have determined who was responsible for these attacks on our freedom,’ said Mueller, who is in his second week on the job.”
http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article&contentId=A21162-2001Sep12¬Found=true

I say here is not a single stone that has been turned!
