9/11 suspect organises squash tournament |
|
Former Hamburg-cell member Squadron Leader Atif bin Mansour helped organise the 13th World Junior Men's Squash Championship in Pakistan in August 2004. As you can see from a press release by the Mexican team (which finished twelfth - 2 places ahead of the US), Squadron Leader Mansour was on the Organizing Committee as communications director. http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=es&u=http://www.squashespanol.com/inicio/noticias/boletines/2004/bol_0810pakistan.htm&prev=/search%3Fq%3D%2522Atif%2Bbin%2BMansoor%2522%2BMexico%26hl%3Den%26hs%3D2wM%26lr%3D%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official_s%26sa%3DGWhen in Hamburg Mansour studied, lived and ran a radical Islamist group with Atta. It's good to see he's getting on with his life. Shame the FBI never questioned him though.

(1) He's still alive, so I don't think he's one of the mystery hijackers; (2) Being involved in the greatest terrorist atrocity in the history of the world doesn't seem to have hampered his career; (3) He's never been questioned by the FBI or anyone else.
Alternatively, Pakistanis are good at squash, they often win things, it's natrual for them to host a world championship. I think the facility the championships were held at is owned by the air force.
