9/11 , THE PEOPLE INVOLVED

                        September The 11, 2001


The People Involved In The Attacks




9/11 was a cataclysmic event of our times which changed the course of history, all of a sudden.
The civilian death toll of the wars it set in motion is greater (still in progress) than that of World War 2.
To sum it up, this event, in the course if its never ending conclusions, is dividing the world up to this day. The situation is getting worse, every passing day.
It is rather strange that a catastrophe that got hundreds of thousands of innocents killed is still being confused around by some people through theories that best suit their personal interests.

 19 hijackers hijacked 4 planes.Five people were planned to be there in each of the plane. 1 of the 4 planes however, was short of a person who, Ramzi Bin al-Sibh, was rejected a U.S visa for being from a poor country, Yemen. So that plane had to proceed with 4 people. However,it crashed in Pennsylvania. Possibly because the 3 people assigned to protect the cockpit were overpowered by the passengers.
The whole story of the hijackers begins in Hamburg, a German city which has a small mosque, Al-Quds, comprising of several small rooms ,below a body building parlor.This mosque was the place where the lifestyle of the 3 out of 4 hijackers was influenced.

Al-Quds Mosque, Hamburg

This mosque, is surrounded by an environment full of smiling Albanian hookers wearing red lips stick. This place was perfect for a mosque because such an environment reminds the believers of Allah ,against all the temporary pleasures of life. This was what pushed them closer to faith. Nevertheless, this city was not the perfect place for people like Muhammad Atta to introduce to the western culture.  Not to forget that there was a war going on in Chechnya which was playing its due part in radicalization of the Muslim youth.
The worldwide Muslim problem in addition to the fiery speeches of the Al-Quds Imam , Muhammad Fazazi, was what made these people grow more and more religious.

Fazazi has served 6 of the 30 years he was sentenced for allegedly indoctrinating the people behind the bomb attack in Casablanca in 2003, He continues to dismiss the claim

Muhammad-Amir-al-Atta‬ who crashed the first plane into the North Tower was believed to be the leader and executioner of the whole plan.It is believed that he was personally selected by Osama-Bin-Laden to lead the mission, during their visit to Afghanistan.


His father, Muhammad el-Amir Awad el-Sayed Atta, a lawyer by profession and a very strict person, is a life long Muslim Brotherhood supporter. Although, by Egyptian standards he is a secular person. He still considers his son to be innocent. He claims <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLcxjGT87m8> to have received his son's call 48 hours after the incident. However, no such call record is available.
His son Atta was among the few successful students who managed to get admission in the highest merit, Architecture department of Cairo University. Later for a degree in town planning he went to Germany, where he stayed with a German family as a guest, for some time. He had two sisters, Azza (cardiologist) and Mona (professor in Zoology).
Atta was always to himself. He didn't socialize. His university professor describes him as a very intelligent and a bright student but strictly religious.

Marwan al Shehhi was the one who attacked the South WTC tower. Marwan's father was a strictly religious person, he had died almost a decade before 9/11. He was from a poor family in UAE. 
Mrwan was sent to Germany on Emirati military scholarship to obtain technical education. He landed in Hamburg and it was the Al-Quds mosque which enabled his meeting with Atta and they soon became close friends. He attended the same flight school with Atta. The students there reported that Atta would always be dictating Shehhi, and it seemed to them that Atta was a prince and Marwan was only his servant.

He struct his target in much better place than Atta. Right in the middle so the place of impact had a lot of weight to support above it and thus the lower floors of the tower crashed after getting softened considerably.

Zaid Jarrah was the pilot whose plane crashed in Pennsylvania before reaching the White House or the Capital Building. Jarrah was a Lebanese whose family was rich and western. His wife, Aysel also followed a western lifestyle.
Jarrah met Atta and Shehhi in Hamburg and became friends. They would sit in Al-Quds mosque and discuss the issues of the entire muslim world. At one point they had decided to join the war in Chechnya but later called off that decision.
Jarrah was humorous, he would laugh a lot and be friendly to all, he mixed with people. Arne Kruithof, the president of his flight school in Florida said that Jarrah was a friend to all of them. During his stay at the flight school Zaid would call his wife Aysel and inform her about his progress. At one point he said to her that she would be proud of him.

He could not make it to the White House or the Capital Building, possibly because only 3 men were there to protect him or may be because his plane was shot after warnings.

Muhammad Hayder Zammar was the man in Hamburg who enabled these 3 men ( Atta , Shehhi and Jarrah ) to take the first practical step to fulfill their religious desires. He was an Afghan war veteran. Due to his links with his old friends in Al-Qeada, he sent the 3 hijackers to Afghanistan. Zammar had met these men at Al-Quds mosque in Hamburg. He was captured on October 27, 2001 in Morocco. In his prison he was regularly visited by German and US intelligence officials. From Morocco he was sent to Syria for an indefinite period to serve his prison sentence. It is believed that he was tortured. Later on the Syrian government released him in a prisoner exchange with a rebel group operationg in Syria "Ahrar as-Shaam". However, he did not stay with them much longer, he joined ISIS. He is still alive. He was spotted in an ISIS propaganda video sitting listening to a speech of Adnani.

Hani Hanjour was the pilot who executed the most difficult job of crashing into the Pentagon. He was a Saudi citizen who was already an experienced pilot before even getting in touch with Al-Qeada. He had intended to become a professional pilot and for that purpose was enrolled in a flight school in US in 1996. After getting an American pilot certificate in 1999 he went to Saudi Arabia and applied for pilot job but failed. Later he went to Afghanistan where he was identified as a pilot and assigned to this mission.Soon he returned from Afghanistan and immediately went to Arizona US, to do refresher pilot courses. He was specifically selected for crashing into Pentagon because of his experience and because crashing into the low lying pentagon required professional skills. He was not a part of Bin Laden's initial plan. It was only after Ramzi bin Al-Sibh was denied a US visa that Bin Laden sent him as a replacement. Ramzi was a Yemeni national because of which the visa authorities considered him as an economic Migrant.

Atta, Zaid and Shehhi went to Afghanistan on the links established by Muhammad Zamaar and personally met Osama Bin Laden. When they got back to Germany they reported their passports lost so as to erase their travel records to Pakistan, which they were issued without any hurdle. Soon they made plans for their visit to US, for which they had to apply for U.S visas.
Zahid Jarrah faced no difficulty in getting one, followed him was Muhammad Atta and finally Shehh

After reaching US ,Amir in March 2000 emailed 31 flying schools in Florida saying " We are a small group of 2-3 young man who would like to join a course for professional pilots ."
Finally Atta and Shehhi were enrolled at the Huffman Aviation in Florida for pilot training. In the same city Zahid Jarrah was already having pilot training in Florida Flight Training Center. However, there are no reports that the Jarrah met with the other two.
Al-Qaeda had assigned the responsibility of Khalid Sheikh Mohammad to assist these people with finances. As Sheikh was in Afghanistan, so to avoid suspicion he did not communicate with these men directly but through another source, a third person, based in Germany.


Khalid Sheikh Muhammad or KSM now in US custody after being captured in a combined raid by US and Pakistani security agencies in Rawalpindi. He is a Pakistani National from Baluchistan Province.

The third person in Germany who used collect messages and money of Khalid Sheikh and send them to Muhammad Atta and the other pilots in the US was Zaid Bahahji. Zaid  was a German citizen who had served in the German army but was on medical leave. He became friends with Atta ,Shehi and Jarrah in Hamburg’s mosque Al-Quds. Bahaji’s wedding at Al-Quds was attended by his 3 hijacker friends ( Muhammad Atta, Marwan Shehhi and Zaid Jarrah). He left Germany for Afghanistan via Pakistan on 4th September 2001, 6 days before the attacks, to avoid travel difficulties resulting from the attack, and till now he is at large. Believed to be somewhere along the Pak-Afg boarder region or in some urban city center of Pakistan.
However, in an operation in South Waziristan his passport was recovered by Pakistan Army. Somehow he has dodged all the drones and the intelligence agencies so far. He has maintained a low profile.
