"Let's discuss the 9/11 hijackers"

by Scholars for 9/11 Truth member "Merc Mercy"

[Note: WORK IN PROGRESS - COMMENTS AND CORRECTIONS ARE ENCOURAGED - editor]

lot of 9/11 Truthseekers make the statement that some of the "hijackers" are 'still alive'. This is not entirely true. Well, who knows. But what we do know is there are serious anomalies and questions that need to be asked. And it involves the release of names and photo's and when and where within the timeline they were released.

It might very well appear that the 'hijackers alive' stories were plants to support the fact that there were even hijackers.

Let's start with some of the points, I've noticed and pieced together through looking at sites and analyzing the info.

First I want point out some things:

  • There are only 7 hijackers total shown on camera. Possibly to establish a trail and history and the others to later support the idea that there were hijackers.

  • Only 5 are supposedly shown getting on to a 9/11 Flight[Flt 77](again given to us 3 yrs later with no date/time stamp).

  • 2 (Atta and Alomari)[Flt 11] are shown at an ATM. Also at a gas station, and at a Portland, ME Airport *BEFORE* 9/11. Atta is also shown at a Wal-Mart.

  • Another 2 (Hanjour and Moqed)[Flt 77] are *also* shown at an ATM. And those same 2 are shown as part of the 5 supposedly shown at Dulles on a grainy video, with no date/time stamp, that was given to us 3 yrs later.

    The only 4 shown on ATM close up cam, released on *9/27/01*:

    Flight 11, Mohammed Atta and Abdulaziz Alomari

    Flight 77, Hani Hanjour and Majed Moqed

    Interestingly, LA Times has the following caption for the photo: "An undated ATM surveillance photo shows suspected hijackers Hani Hanjour, left, and Majed Moqed.(Agence France-Presse)"

    NOTE: These same 7 who are the ONLY ones "shown on tape", are the same ones who got on planes (5 on AA77 and 2 on AA11) that were:

    A) described as "small commuter planes"
    B) considered 'Destroyed' according to FAA records, while they show the other two as active/still assigned(now "cancelled").
    C)The two flights most accused of being smaller drones/modified military planes.

    And the four who were the only ones initially shown to us on ATM, just happen to be 2 from each of these planes.

    No surveillance video exists of any of the Flight 93 or 175 hijackers,
    either before 9/11 or *on* 9/11.

    Isn't that odd?

    Ok let's look at the individual hijackers...

    Mohammed Atta and Abdulaziz Alomari


    [Above are CCTV pictures released by the FBI supposedly showing Atta and Alomari at Portland Jetport on 9/11. *TWO* DATE/TIME STAMPS. Note their clothes.]

    Michael Tuohey’s brief encounter took place at the U.S. Airways ticket and baggage check-in at the airport in Portland, Maine. Working the ticket counter as he did most every morning for 37 years, he remembered two clean-shaven Arab-looking businessmen with tickets in hand (Atta and Alomari) approaching his workstation, both looking elegant and wearing suits and ties. [American Free Press]
    So we have a clear contradiction. Here they are boarding the plane in Portland ME, wearing dress shirts NOT suits and ties.

    I'm not going to go into Atta's history or his father's claim that he called him after 9/11 and said he had nothing to do with it. Although it may be true. His father, Mohamed El-Amir, did make contradicting statements. We can get into it later.

    Mohamed Atta starring in "How to Establish a Trail..."

    Atta at Wal-Mart, 20 minutes:

    Atta (and Alomari) at the Gas Station:

    And of course...

    Let's now focus on Abdulaziz Alomari...

    -First the FBI went after *Abdul Rahman Alomari* (A Saudi Airlines Pilot). Here's what the flight manifest the Boston Globe shows up as:

    That leads to Adnan Bukhari, who lived next door, another pilot trainee. But they turn out to be clean and alive. And not related to 9/11. How did they end up at Adnan Bukhari?


    [Adnan and Ameer Bukhari's] names had been tied to a car found at an airport in Portland, Maine. But Bukhari's attorney said it appeared their identifications were stolen and said Bukhari had no role in the hijackings.

    The Mitsubishi(Nissan Altima) sedan sources said was rented by Atta, contained materials written in Arabic, including flight manuals, that law enforcement sources called "helpful" to the investigation.[CNN]

    ----------
    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.

    Before CNN learned the identities of the two brothers, Portland Police Chief Mike Chitwood said, "I can tell you those two individuals did get on a plane and fly to Boston early yesterday morning ... I can tell you that they are the focus of a federal investigation." [People's Daily 9/13/2001]

    ----------
    A trail of evidence led investigators into Tuesday's terrorist attacks from one abandoned rental car in Portland, Maine, to two houses in Vero Beach, Florida. One of the Vero Beach houses had been rented by two brothers from Saudi Arabia. Inside it were two pilot's certificates in the names of Adnan Bukhari and his brother, Ameer Abbas Bukhari. [BBC News]
    And what about this car? WRH.com points out some interesting oddities...
    (Mohamed) Atta and (Abdulaziz) Alomari boarded a 6:00 a.m. flight from Portland to Boston's Logan International Airport. [SFGate]

    A Mitsubishi sedan [Atta] rented was found at Boston's Logan Airport. Arabic language materials were found in the car. [CNN]

    How did Atta leave a rental car at Logan Airport in Boston when he supposedly flew there from Portland, Maine?

    The official story:

    [Atta] rented a car at Logan Airport Alamo and drove to Maine [on September 10]. Then flew down from Portland, Maine, early Tuesday before connecting on Flight 11. [Boston.com]

    Why would Atta leave a rental car containing incriminating evidence at Logan Airport, rent another car in Boston to drive to Maine, then fly back to Boston again?

    Even the 9/11 Commission couldn't explain this conundrum...

    Atta picked up Omari at another hotel [on September 10], and the two drove to Portland, Maine, for reasons that remain unknown. [9/11 Commission Report]

    ...and they didn't look for answers.

    The Bukharis provide(d) a key to the enigma

    Early accounts stated it was Adnan and Ameer Bukhari who rented the car from Logan Airport Alamo and abandoned it at Portland, not Mohamed Atta. The Bukharis "did get on a plane and fly to Boston", Adnan Bukhari's name reportedly appeared on Flight 11's manifest, and a trail of evidence led investigators to Adnan Bukhari's house.

    Within hours of the attacks it was nearly "case closed" that the Bukharis were hijackers of Flight 11, but a couple of simple facts proved their innocence - Ameer Bukhari died in a plane crash in 2000 and Adnan Bukhari is alive.

    Bukhari's name appears on Flight 11's manifest???

    By Associated Press (Miami-AP)9/14/01 The Saudi flight engineer and Flight Safety Academy student lived next to Abdul Alomari. His name reportedly appears on the American Airlines Flight Eleven manifest. Alomari has not been located since the attacks.
    Then they name "Abdulaziz Alomari", the Saudi Engineer.

    "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."

    Mr Al-Omari said his passport was stolen when his apartment in Denver, Colorado, was burgled in 1995. He had been studying engineering at Denver University since 1993. He was given a new passport in Riyadh on December 31, 1995 and returned to America to resume his studies in January 1996. [Telegraph]

    So, how did we get from Abdulrahman Alomari to Abulaziz Alomari? That seems to be the missing link. Finally when they provide us a final picture and this is where it gets really strange.

    The official photograph used to this date of Abdulaziz Alomari:

    The other "Alomari":


    http://www.fbi.gov/pressrel/pressrel01/100401picts.htm

    These are NOT the same person:

    Here is the hijacker martyr farewell clip(we will get more into this as well) released September 10th, 2002:

    Who does that look like? It looks like the one with the white background, the photo which is hardly used. The one in the ATM photo, the white background id photo, the Portland Airport video, and this farewell clip are all the same person. But it is NOT the person with the red background. If that is even a real person.

    Even Wikipedia airs a little of the mystery:

    Little is known about al-Omari's life, and it is unclear whether some information refers to al-Omari or another person by that name. He has used birth dates of December 24, 1972 and May 28, 1979. He came from Asir Province, a poor region in southwestern Saudi Arabia that borders Yemen. According to a 2003 CIA report, he had graduated with honours from high school, attained a degree from the Imam Muhammad Ibn Saud Islamic University, was married, and had a daughter.
    I guess the "CIA" had plenty of time by 2003 to *create* a history for their Alomari.

    The Dulles Video released *July 20, 2005* [Flt 77]:
    Watch Here

    July 20, 2005 (CNN) -- A surveillance video from Washington's Dulles International Airport the morning of September 11, 2001, shows four of five hijackers passing through security checks before boarding the plane they would crash into the Pentagon.

    Nawaf Alhazmi" gets searched, "Khalid Almihdhar", and "Hani Hanjour".

    Would you believe on this *undated/without time code stamp* grainy surveillance video, given to us 3 yrs later, it shows "Hani Hanjour", pictured all the way to the right.

    Hani Hanjour, who is thinly built, with a long face and a high hairline:

    THAT IS NOT HANI HANJOUR.


    Hijacker brothers "Salem" (white shirt) and "Nawaf Alhazmi" (blue shirt) pass through security in Dulles Airport in Washington.

    The US introduces the “Visa Express” program in Saudi Arabia, which allows any Saudi Arabian to obtain a visa through his or her travel agent instead of appearing at a consulate in person. An official later states, “The issuing officer has no idea whether the person applying for the visa is actually the person in the documents and application.” [9/11 Congressional Inquiry, 9/20/02; US News and World Report, 12/12/01]Five hijackers—Khalid Almihdhar, Abdulaziz Alomari, Salem Alhazmi, Saeed Alghamdi, and Fayez Ahmed Banihammad—use Visa Express over the next month to enter the US. [9/11 Congressional Inquiry, 9/20/02]

    Salem Alhazmi

    Or...


    Salem Alhazmi

    Possible mistaken identity. Then why do they still use the name and where did they get his photo:

    The real Salem Al-Hazmi, however, is alive and indignant in Saudi Arabia, and not one of the people who perished in the American Airlines flight that crashed on the Pentagon. He works at a government-owned petroleum and chemical plant in the city of Yanbu.

    "The Salem Al-Hamzi we have is 26 years old and has never been to the United States," Gaafar Allagany told the Washington Post. "He has said he is willing to come to the United States if anyone wants to see him."

    But wait a minute...there is another Salem Al-Hamzi and this is where it gets interesting...
    February 2001: Two Hijackers Seen Living in San Antonio with Swapped Identities Complete 911 Timeline

    At least six people with no connections to one another later claim they recognize hijackers Satam Al Suqami and Salem Alhazmi living in San Antonio, Texas, until this month. The management of an apartment building says the two men abandoned their leases at about this time, and some apartment residents recognize them. However, all the witnesses say that Suqami was going by Alhazmi's name, and vice versa! [KENS 5 Eyewitness News, 10/1/01] One pilot shop employee recognizes Alhazmi as a frequent visitor to the store and interested in a 757 or 767 handbook, though he also says Alhazmi used Suqami's name. [KENS 5 Eyewitness News, 10/3/01] The apartment-leasing agent also recalls a Ziad Jarrah who once lived there in June 2001 and looked the same as the hijacker. [Associated Press, 9/22/01 (B); San Antonio Express-News, 9/22/01] Local FBI confirm that a Salem Alhazmi attended the nearby Alpha Tango Flight School and lived in that apartment building, but they say he is a different Salem Alhazmi who is still alive and living in Saudi Arabia. [KENS 5 Eyewitness News, 10/4/01] However, that “Salem Alhazmi” says he has never been to the US and has proven to the authorities that he did not leave Saudi Arabia in the two years prior to 9/11. [Washington Post, 9/20/01] The FBI does not explain Satam Al Suqami's presence. Neither hijacker is supposed to have arrived in the US before April 2001.

    This is good because this is AFTER the Sept 27 FBI photos came out. Notice how people are "recognizing" their faces. So why would FBI say people are mistaken? Here we have a clear case of something very fishy going on officially.They recoginize him, yet he say he was using another hijackers name and the other was using his. Then the FBI say nope, not him that was "a Salem Alhazmi attended the nearby Alpha Tango Flight School and lived in that apartment building" but then say "he is a different Salem Alhazmi who is still alive and living in Saudi Arabia". HOW IS THIS ACTUALLY POSSIBLE? So people see two hijackers, names are swapped, except one they are mistaken on, he is actually innocent and alive. Except why would the alive one be USING THE NAME Satam Al Suqami?????

    Khalidal Mihdhar:

    ALIVE?

    May be an assumed name; there are reports he is still alive [CNN]

    Officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said they were exploring several possibilities. One was that al-Midhar never entered the country and his name was simply used as an alias by one of the hijackers who died. Another possibility was that he allowed his name to be used on the flight by another hijacker, so that U.S. officials might assume he died, giving him time to escape the country. A third was that he did in fact die in the crash as a hijacker. [Guardian]

    Badr Mohammed H. Hazmi, a San Antonio radiologist under arrest as a material witness, has used the alias of Khalid Al-Midhar, who is listed by the FBI as a hijacker on the flight that struck the Pentagon, according to documents distributed to law enforcement agencies. [Washington Post]


    Three pictures of Almihdhar shown by the media

    Eight days after the planes went down, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. distributed a "special alert" to its member banks asking for information about 21 "alleged suspects" in the attacks. The list said "Al-Midhar, Khalid Alive," raising the possibility that the real Almihdhar never died on the plane. But one Justice Department official called the listing a "typo." [Cox News Service]


    While the FBI's confusion over Arabic names and identities was largely ignored in the American press, each blunder has made huge news in Saudi Arabia, casting doubt on U.S. intentions and convincing many Saudis that their country has been slandered.

    "I want to think all this is a mistake," said a bewildered Khalid al-Mihammadi, 24, a computer programmer from Mecca who was named wrongfully in an early list of hijackers released by the U.S. Justice Department. "We are America's friends, and they do this to us. It isn't fair."

    Al-Mihammadi, who spent nine months studying English in the U.S., said he was watching television at home when shaken friends saw his photograph on the news and began to call to see if he was still alive. [Chicago Tribune]

    Even Wikipedia acknowledges this:

    After the attacks, reports began emerging saying that al-Mihdhar was still alive. On September 19, the FDIC distributed an official document clearly stating that al-Mihdhar is alive. The Justice Department says that this was a typo.[29][30] The BBC and The Guardian have since reported that there was evidence al-Mihdhar was still alive. This al-Midhar may have been a man with the same name.

    Late in 2005, Army Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer and Congressman Curt Weldon alleged that the Defense Department data mining project Able Danger had kept al-Mihdhar, Mohamed Atta, Nawaf al-Hazmi and Marwan al-Shehhi all under surveillance as Al-Qaeda agents.


    The three photographs of al-Mihdhar released by the FBI do not appear to be the same person.

    Does this guy...

    Look like this guy?


    An al-Qaida veteran Khalid al-Mihdhar has been called an "al-Qaida veteran" by the CIA, and has fought in several major conflicts throughout his life. He was born in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, and in 1995 he went with Nawaf al-Hazmi (another alleged 9/11 hijacker) to Bosnia to join the fight between Muslims and Serbs.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khalid_al-Mihdhar

    Does that look like the face of a veteran? In this picture he is 25/26.

    Does he look like this guy? Does this guy look 25/26?

    (Note the '9/11 Muscle' is only 5'6" and 142lbs)

    THIS is why there were no hijackers on 9/11. THIS confirms there is no way they could have fingered any of the hijackers on those flights.

    Think about it. You get on a flight. You have to present a valid ID to check in, which matches the name on your ticket, which matches the name on the manifest. In the first days of 9/11 all they had to go on was the names on the manifest. Right? That and the description given by security, ticket counter, baggage handling/check-in desk and other airline employees. So how did they get the identities of the hijackers confirmed if they had no way to connect a face with a name or a name with a face? How do they know which face goes with which seat. All you have is the ticket-takers looking at a ticket and a face. Aren't some ticket takers one the actual stewards/ess that get on the flight? My point is if they chased wrong identities. They obviously weren't entirely relying on eyewitness accounts. And we know they COULDN'T rely on surveillance footage, because there was none for two of the flights, 175 and 11. It makes no sense.

    THIS explains it all:

    Logan lacks video cameras

    Saturday, September 29, 2001

    In perhaps the most stunning example of Massport's lax security safeguards, Logan International Airport is missing a basic tool found not only in virtually every other airport, but in most 7-Elevens.

    Surveillance cameras.

    While Logan officials acknowledged the ``deficiency'' yesterday, they have tried to blame the two Sept. 11 terrorist attacks launched from Boston on low-paid security screeners hired by the airlines, who are believed to have let the two bands of hijackers slip through checkpoints with boxcutters.

    But the lack of cameras has prevented the FBI from definitively identifying the men who boarded two jumbo jets and later used them to decimate the World Trade Center towers in New York, killing thousands.

    ``It's not rocket science,'' said Michael Taylor, president of the Boston-based American International Security Corp. ``Convenience stores employ them, why wouldn't Massport?''

    The shortcoming is underscored by the fact that the much-smaller Portland International Jetport in Maine was able to capture images of suspected hijackers Mohammed Atta and Abdulaziz Alomari on camera as they strolled through a checkpoint to fly to Boston the morning of the attacks.

    ``You have names (of hijackers), but the FBI has said it hasn't been able to match the faces of those who were on the flights,'' said Charles Slepian, a New York security consultant.

    ``Who boarded at Logan? You don't have pictures, and that's a problem. And are those suspects the ones who actually got on at Logan or are they still alive (somewhere)? Who knows? That's one of the big questions the cameras would have been able to answer.''

    While Massport does employ cameras in parking garages, ramp areas and on Logan's roadways to monitor traffic, there are none to be found in the terminals, gate areas or concourses.

    Massport spokesman Jose Juves said yesterday that the agency's embattled boss, executive director Virginia Buckingham, was surprised to find there were no cameras in place when she took the helm two years ago.

    In July Massport's board of director's approved $2.2 million to be spent installing cameras throughout the airport.

    ``She recognized a deficiency and she took steps to address the issue,'' said Juves, adding that officials were waiting for the results of a consultant's review of Logan security before installing the cameras.

    That ``deficiency'' seems to undermine Logan security chief Joe Lawless' claim two weeks ago that ``we consider ourselves as secure, if not more secure, than any other airport.''

    While the Federal Aviation Administration does not require the use of cameras, they were put into widespread use at most airports 15 years ago.

    ``Are you sure they're not there?'' asked Slepian. ``I haven't been to all the airports in the nation, but for the most part they're (used everywhere).''

    Told that Logan definitely doesn't have cameras in the terminals, Slepian said, ``Yeah, I'm surprised, but I've been surprised a lot about Logan lately.''

    Juves acknowledged that surveillance cameras could have played a vital role, if not in preventing the tragedy then certainly in the massive criminal probe that has followed.

    ``I think that's probably a question for the FBI, not us, but (cameras) would appear to be useful in the investigation,'' he said.

    Taylor, who has done consulting work for the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, said New York's three airports - Newark, the site of one of the hijackings; John F. Kennedy; and LaGuardia - all employ security cameras. Officials at Dulles International Airport in Washington D.C., the other starting point for the terrorists, didn't return a phone call from the Herald yesterday.

    Since the attack, Massport officials have said what happened at Logan could have happened anywhere and have called for federal agents to man airport security checkpoints nationwide.

    But there has been little mention of the ``Guaranteed Passenger Standards'' program, an initiative to improve service at Logan that was trumpeted by Buckingham and Massport board chairman Mark Robinson earlier this year. The brainchild of Robinson, part of the program required airlines to ensure that passengers not have to wait more than five minutes to be ushered through checkpoints.

    The program, touted as the first of its kind in the nation, was scrapped days after the attacks.

    In sweeping airline security reforms announced Thursday, President Bush stopped short of federalizing screening operations, but did call for the feds to assume oversight of the screening companies and maintain a presence at all checkpoints.

    The reforms come nearly 1 years after the General Accounting Office identified Logan as one of the nation's worst airports for retaining checkpoint screeners.

    With a typical screener staying on the job only six months, the GAO found the turnover rate at Logan to be 207 percent - the fourth highest among 19 major airports. Only St. Louis (416 percent), Atlanta (375) and Houston (237) rated worst.

    Gerald L. Dillingham, the GAO's aviation issues director who testified before the Senate on April 6, 2000, said the typical six-month stint of a Logan screener means the screeners likely would never undergo spot checking by the FAA more than once.

    ``We're talking about testing once or twice a year,'' he said, adding that the FAA testers are typically people who are known by the screening companies.

    ``Once you check one screening point, word passes like wildfire that they're there. Yet even when they have the alert they don't do too well,'' said Dillingham.

    Among companies providing screening services at Logan is Argenbright Security, which was fined $1.5 million a year ago for hiring persons with criminal backgrounds to do screenings at Philadelphia International Airport.

    Another screening firm, International Total Services, filed for bankruptcy protection on Sept. 14.

    Though the FAA responded to the GAO report saying that it had developed a ``Passenger Screening Checkpoint Integrated Plan,'' Dillingham said the agency failed to implement it.

    His April report eerily predicted the result of that neglect.

    ``A single lapse in aviation security can result in hundreds of deaths, destroy equipment worth hundreds of millions of dollars and have immeasurable negative impacts on the economy and the public's confidence in air travel,'' he wrote.

    When you go to the airport...

    There are cameras at the ticket counter

    Cameras at checkpoints

    Cameras at boarding gates

First I want point out some things:

* There are only 7 hijackers total shown on camera. Possibly to establish a trail and history and the others to later support the idea that there were hijackers.

* Only 5 are supposedly shown getting on to a 9/11 Flight[Flt 77](again given to us 3 yrs later with no date/time stamp).

Don't you find it curious and highly suspect that there is so little footage available of the so called terrorists in the airport agrea.
