“The identities of four of the 19 suspects accused of having carried out the attacks are now in doubt.”
“Saudi Arabian pilot Waleed Al Shehri was one of five men that the FBI said had deliberately crashed American Airlines flight 11 into the World Trade Centre on 11 September.”
“Now he is protesting his innocence from Casablanca, Morocco.”
“He told journalists there that he had nothing to do with the attacks on New York and Washington, and had been in Morocco when they happened.”
“He acknowledges that he attended flight training school at Daytona Beach in the United States, and is indeed the same Waleed Al Shehri to whom the FBI has been referring.”
“Abdulaziz Al Omari, another of the Flight 11 hijack suspects, has also been quoted in Arab news reports.”
“He says he is an engineer with Saudi Telecoms, and that he lost his passport while studying in Denver.”
“Another man with exactly the same name […] is a pilot for Saudi Arabian Airlines, the report says.”
“Meanwhile, Asharq Al Awsat newspaper, a London-based Arabic daily, says it has interviewed Saeed Alghamdi.”
“He was listed by the FBI as a hijacker in the United flight that crashed in Pennsylvania.”
“And there are suggestions that another suspect, Khalid Al Midhar, may also be alive.”
“FBI Director Robert Mueller acknowledged on Thursday that the identity of several of the suicide hijackers is in doubt.”
