Official narrative

These were the 19 men who hijacked 4 planes on September 11th, 2001. The first hijackers to arrive in the United States were Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi, who settled in the San Diego area in January 2000. They were followed by three hijacker-pilots, Mohamed Atta, Marwan al-Shehhi and Ziad Jarrah mid-2000 to undertake flight training in south Florida. The fourth hijacker-pilot, Hani Hanjour, arrived in San Diego in December 2000. The rest of the "muscle hijackers" arrived in early and mid-2001.

Problems

The BBC reported on 23 September, 2001 that 4 of the hijackers were alive and well.[1] In 2006 it concluded by quoting the official position from the FBI (in bold): "The FBI is confident that it has positively identified the nineteen hijackers responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks."[2]

Flight Training

One interesting venue that three of the hijackers were reportedly trained in flying small aircraft was Huffman Aviation in Venice, Florida, owned by Wallace J. Hilliard and Rudi Dekkers, both of whom have been accused of drug trafficking.[3]
