SUMMARY:

Mohamed Atta is certainly the alleged hijacker can be best proven that he had a double.

The list is long when he was at two different places basically at the same time:

September 7, 2001 alone is a very convincing example. The same goes for September 8, 2001 -when

either Atta is in two different places at the same time or somebody exactly acting like Atta is

in a place where Atta had been seen before already).

For further details: http://www.team8plus.org/forum_viewtopic.php?6.1704

Furthermore the Atta witnessed in the Phillipines (1998-2000) is in strong contradiction

to the official Atta being in Germany at that time.

The same goes for Atta being reported as having asked for a job at Frankfurt airport in February 2001 whileofficially being in the US.

One witness sees Atta in Logan Airport on the morning of September 9 though he was

officially in Balitimore.

Atta was witnessed in Hamburg in April 2001 although he officially didn’t leave the

country at that time.

Atta is supposed to have vacated his Hamburg flat on March 11, 2001 although officially

he’s in the US at that time.

Atta is also witnessed in Hamburg in April 2001 although he officially is still in the US at that time.

There are reports of Atta studying in Spain in 1997 and 1998 although he is seen studying in Hamburg at thesame time.

A credit card receipt seems to place Atta in New York on September 10 though he was officially in Boston

and later the day in Portland.

1 of 33

Even the official program "Able Danger" that is much in the news is strong evidence for

this alleged hijacker having a double: How come Atta was identified by Able Danger as

being part of the Brooklyn group in January 2000 though Atta officially only arrived in

June 2000?

And how come Able Danger also uncovered Atta and Al Shehhi living in Wayne (close to Paterson) whileofficially they have been at that time in Florida?

Atta’s repeatedly witnessed presence in Toronto does hardly fit with the official timeline

neither. See "The month leading to September 11".

Furthermore several strong indications underline the presence of two Attas:

On documents we see two clearly different hand writings:

On the one hand are his signatures of the different car rentals on the other hand his Florida driver’s licenceand his application at the Florida department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles

(Please note the differences in the "M" and the "A" and the fact that one is written without interruption)

His English is sometimes described as almost without accent sometimes as bad and

heavily accented. In Germany he speaks almost without accent although he only learnt

German just before entering the country but Rudi Dekkers in Venice remarked that Atta

didn’t seem to understand German.

And in Germany he is described as being almost 5’ 4’’. In the US we have estimations of 5’ 8’’ and even 5’10’’ (his visa application states also 5-feet-8).

Please note that the photo is his ID presented at the Moussaoui trial doesn’t resemble

him at all. (See document section)

Why do the LaConcas not recognize him on any photo presented to them by the FBI (See "Height" in

background information)?

Some evidence underline that somebody with the same name as Atta was in the US

before his official date of entry:

Why did he rent apartments in New York clearly before entering the States?

And how come people state they might have witnessed Atta in Hollywood already in 1999?

Further important issues:

Atta received a visa in May 2000 although he was under the observation of the CIA.

Why didn’t the fact that somebody called Mohamed Atta was responsible for a bus bombing 1986 in Israelpose no problem to Atta at any time obtain his papers?

2 of 33

Why does Atta overstay his visa by no less then 32 days and decides to leave the US and test his luck whenre-entering on January 10, 2001? Why this lack of carefulness? Is the official explanation for Atta entering

with two different INS papers convincing?

How come that Rudi Dekkers not only had the impression Atta had already had flight

training but also saw in his logbook that he already had done previous flight hours?

Please note that right after 911 Atta had strong ties to Vero Beach. But this will never be reported ever since.

For further details: www.team8plus.org/forum_viewtopic.php?7.35

Note that apparently the name on his luggage on 911 is "Moham Atta". For further details:

The strange resurfacing of Mohamed Arajaki who claims to have been the boy-friend of

Amanda Keller and mistaken for Atta!

See: www.team8plus.org/forum_viewtopic.php?7.192

Why does the name with which Atta signed his testament not show up on the list of alias

by the FBI?

How come the finnlist mentions a quite different name?

How come the finnlist mentions an address in Delray Beach, Washington and Baltimore?

And why on earth does the finnlist mentions "Marwan Al Shehhi" as an alias for Atta?

Please note the strange circumstances surrounding Atta’s short stay in Prague end of

May/beginning of June 2000.

Why does the FBI state Atta had a Florida ID while the Commission denies this (July 2001 A)?

Please also note that according to first accounts Atta held a passport of the United Arab Emirate while the

FBI had already declared he is Egyptian.

TIMELINE:

September 1, 1968:

"Mohamed Atta was born on September 1, 1968, in Kafr el Sheikh, Egypt, to a middle-class family headed byhis father, an attorney."

CR, 160

1985:

Atta "enters the engineering department at Cairo University. His dad, a well-to-do lawyer, says his son never

cursed. He never drank. He said his prayers without complaint.

"I am the one who convinced him to learn German because it is the language of engineering of the world," hisfather told ABC News in Cairo. »

http://www.sptimes.com/News/092701/Worldandnation/The_trail_of_the_terr.shtml

1990 A:

"After graduating from Cairo University with a degree in architectural engineering in 1990, Atta worked as an

urban planner in Cairo for a couple of years."

CR, 160

1990 B:

"Atta joins the Engineers Syndicate, which is one of three professional associations controlled by the MuslimBrotherhood, although he later says that he was not a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. »

9 of 33

http://www.abc.net.au/4corners/atta/maps/timeline.htm

Fall 1991:

"He asked a German family he had met in Cairo to help him continue his education in Germany. Theysuggested he come to Hamburg and invited him to live with them there, at least initially."

CR, 160

July 1992:

"After completing a course in German, Atta traveled to Germany for the first time in July 1992. He resided

briefly in Stuttgart."

CR, 160

[i]Comment: What did he do in Stuttgart although he wanted to study in Hamburg?[/i]

Either September or December 1992:

"Two months after his arrival, Atta secures a part-time job at Plankontor, an urban planning consultancy in

Ottensen, Hamburg."


[i]Comment: The article doesn’t make clear if they mean Atta’s arrival in Germany or

specifically in Hamburg.[/i]

Fall 1992:

He "moved to Hamburg to live with his host family. After enrolling at the University of Hamburg, he promptly

transferred into the city engineering and planning course at the Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg,where he would remain registered as a student until the fall of 1999."

CR, 160

October 1992:

"the month Atta enrolled".

http://observer.guardian.co.uk/waronterrorism/story/0,1373,556630,00.html

Between October 1992 and September 11, 2001:

"Within Germany, the focus of inquiries broadened to another northern port city, Kiel.

It appears that Mohamed Atta, the man accused of leading the onslaught on September

11, lived and worked there during a previously obscure stage in his life.

10 of 33

Employees at the Kiel job centre said they had recognised Atta from photographs in the media. They said thathe had worked temporarily as a translator in the city. »

http://www.guardian.co.uk/waronterror/story/0,,558871,00.html

[i]Comment: Officially Atta never lived in Kiel which is quite close to Hamburg but not at all around the

corner. How can Atta who just has learnt German in Egypt start working as a translator?[/i]

December 1992:

"Just two months after his arrival, he secured a part-time job with Plankontor, a planning consultancy in the

trendy Hamburg district of Ottensen."


1994:

« Ralph Bodenstein joins Mohamed Atta and Volker Hauth in a project sponsored by the

German government, writing a report on the renovation work being undertaken by the

Egyptian government on the old city gates. The subsequent report is deemed excellent. The

same year, Atta goes on a student trip to Istanbul.

Atta and Volker Hauth go to Aleppo, Syria on a field trip for several weeks to research what would becomehis thesis, the conflict between Islam and modernity as reflected in the planning of historical cities.

Atta takes six months off from Plankontor to make a pilgrimage to Mecca, sending them a postcard from

the holy city."


December 1994 A:

"Mohamed Atta returns to Syria and makes contact with members in the committee of the project to revive

old Aleppo."


December 1994 B:

Atta stayed for one night in a hotel in Prague.

(CR, 228)

1995 A:

According to the BKA, the German Federal Office for criminal investigations :

"In 1995 there had been an investigation against him due to small drug offenses and forgeries of telephone

cards, criminal trifles. "

(translation by John Doe II)

[i]Comments: Drugs are an interesting occupation for a fundamentalist! [/I]

1995 B:

"Czech media reports note that a Mohamed Sayed Ahmed is listed in the Czech trade

register as owner of a Prague-based firm called Electric Construction Co., founded in

1995."

http://www.csmonitor.com/2001/1030/p7s1-woeu.html

"An Egyptian from Cairo named Mohamed Sayed Ahmed established two firms in Prague. The cover-name

Mohamed Sayed was used by the suicide pilot Atta, also an Egyptian from Cairo."

(Czech News Agency, 10/31/01)

[i]Comment: It’s hard to see how the Atta studying in Germany and reportedly never travelling to Prague atthat time can have established two firms. If this is simply a different innocent person it is worth noticing that

he as well comes from Cairo and Atta used his name as an alias.

Please have a look at: PRAGUE[/i]

1995 C:

"According to Binalshibh, as early as 1995 Atta sought to organize a Muslim student

association in Hamburg."

CR, 160

August 1995:

"Atta grows a distinctive beard shortly before he takes a three-month trip to Egypt with Volker Hauth andRalph Bodenstein in order to conduct research for their project."


(Toronto Star, 9/22/01)

1996:

"Unknown to his German hosts, Atta may have taken part in a bus bombing in 1996 in Saudi Arabia,

12 of 33

officials say. "

(Knight Ridder, 9/28/01)

April 11, 1996 :

Atta apparently wrote his last will. The Arabic original was never made public. The text was translated by the

FBI.

http://www.abc.net.au/4corners/atta/resources/documents/will1.htm

Mid- to late 1990’s:

"It is also likely that at least some of the men overlapped in Daytona Beach in the mid- to late-1990's. Amanager at the Anatole apartments near Daytona Beach International Airport said Ahmed al-Ghamdi,

who was on United Airlines Flight 175, lived in the complex in 1995, while Waleed al-Shehri lived there from

May through December 1997, while he attended Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. (School officials saythey have no record of Mr. Ghamdi attending the school.) Records also indicate that a man whose name

matched Mohammed Atta's lived at a different address in Daytona Beach during the mid- to late

1990's."

(New York Times, 9/15/01)

online: http://www.amanaonline.com/Articles/art_122.htm

[i]Comment: Which of course is in stark contradiction to the Atta who is known to be in Germany at that

point.[/i]

1997-98:

Spanish newspaper El Mundo later reports, "According to several professors at the Valencia School of

Medicine, some of whom are forensic experts, (Mohamed Atta) was a student there in 1997 or 1998.Although he used another name then, they remember his face among the students that attended anatomy

classes." It is also suggested that "years before, as a student he went to Tarragona.

http://www.el-mundo.es/cronica/2001/311/1001926512.html

[i]Comment: It goes without saying that this would be a clear proof of TWO Attas.[/i]

June 1997:

"Atta was laid off by Plankontor. The partners had bought a CAD system and his draughtsmanship was not

needed. 'When he was given his last sum of money, he got too much from us and he sent it back,' recalled

Frinken. 'He said that he hadn't earned it and he didn't want any more'."


Summer 1997 - October 1998:

"Machule said Atta then took a long break from his studies. The recollections of others show it could only

have been in the period from the end of the academic year in 1997 to the start of the academic year in 1998

13 of 33

- a gap of 15 months which the Egyptian explained to his professor as being for family reasons."


Mid-1997 - October 1998:

"Atta leaves Plankontor and drops out of university for 15 months. From mid-1997 to October 1998, Atta

seems to disappear from Hamburg, telling his thesis advisor that he was gone for family reasons.Investigators speculate that this is when Atta went to Afghanistan for training with Al Qaeda."


Fall 1997:

"He joined a working group at the Quds mosque in Hamburg, a group designed to

bridge the gap between Muslims and Christians."

CR, 160

1998:

"On a visit home to Egypt in 1998, Atta met one of his college friends. According to this

friend, Atta had changed a great deal, had grown a beard, and had "obviously adopted

fundamentalism" by that time."

CR, 161

1998-2000:

Atta and Marwan Alshehhi live periodically in the town of Mabalacat, Philippines. They stay in the

Woodland Resort hotel and apparently learn to fly planes at a nearby flight school. Philippine and US

investigators have looked into these visits but haven't confirmed the hijackers' presence there. Locals,however, are certain they saw them frequently partying, drinking alcohol, sleeping with local women, and

consorting with many other, unknown Arabs (most of whom disappear shortly before 9/11).

August 1998:

14 of 33

A German inquiry into Mounir El Motassadeq, an alleged member of the Hamburg al-Qaeda cell withMohamed Atta, begins by this time. Although Germany will not reveal details, documents show that by

August 1998, Motassadeq is under surveillance. "The trail soon (leads) to most of the main (Hamburg)

participants" in 9/11. Surveillance records Motassadeq and Mohammed Haydar Zammar, who had alreadybeen identified by police as a suspected extremist, as they meet at the Hamburg home of Said Bahaji, who is

also under surveillance that same year. (Bahaji will soon move into an apartment with Atta and other

al-Qaeda members.) German police monitor several other meetings between Motassadeq and Zammar in thefollowing months.

November 1, 1998-February 2001:

Mohamed Atta and al-Qaeda operatives Said Bahaji and Ramzi Bin al-Shibh move into a four bedroomapartment at 54 Marienstrasse, in Hamburg, Germany, and stay there until February 2001 (Atta is already

living primarily in the US well before this time). Investigators believe this move marks the formation of their

Hamburg al-Qaeda cell

http://web.archive.org/web/20020603092514/http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/world/la-012702atta.story

During the 28 months Atta's name is on the apartment lease, 29 Middle Eastern or

North African men register the apartment as their home address. From the very

beginning, the apartment was officially under surveillance by German intelligence,

because of investigations into businessman Mamoun Darkazanli that connect to Said

Bahaji.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article&node=&

contentId=A39318-2001Oct23¬Found=true

German intelligence monitors the apartment off and on for months, and wiretaps

Mounir El Motassadeq, an associate of the apartment-mates who is later put on trial in

August 2002 for assisting the 9/11 plot, but apparently do not find any indication of

suspicious activity.

A visitor later recalls Atta and others discussing attacking the US.

(Knight Ridder, 9/9/02)

The CIA also starts monitoring Atta while he is living at this apartment, and does not tell Germany of the

surveillance. Remarkably, the German government will claim it knew little about the Hamburg al-Qaeda cell

15 of 33

before 9/11, and nothing directed them towards the Marienstrasse apartment.

1999 A:

„Normen Pentolino, operations manager at the Hollywood store, said two cashiers told FBI agents they

might have recognized Atta, but weren't certain. Sources inside the store said Atta may have held a

BJ's membership card for more than two years. "

On September 18, 2001 Interpol asked the German Federal Police (BKA) to ask the Bosnian authorities tocheck the identity of a certain Atta who lived according to their information in Bakotift (Bosnia) in 1999. A

photo and the advice to turn to a certain Mehmed Hasanif, citizen of Bakotif, was added to the inquiry.

Ziad Jarrah has an unofficial wedding with his girlfriend, Aisel Senguen. Atta is there as well. A photoapparently taken by Jarrah at the wedding is found by German intelligence several days after 9/11. An

undercover agent is able immediately to identify ten of the 18 men in the photo, as well as where it was taken:

the prayer room of Hamburg's Al-Quds mosque. He is also able to identify which of them attended MohamedAtta's study group. He knows even "seemingly trivial details" of some of the men, showing that "probably

almost all members of the Hamburg terror cell" has been watched by German state intelligence since this

time, if not before. The head of the state intelligence had previously maintained that they knew nothing of anyof these men.

Summer 1999:

Several employees recall Atta staying at the hotel in Mabalacat, Philippines during the summer of 1999,acting unfriendly and cheap. One hotel employee claims that most of the guests were Arab, and many took

flying lessons at the nearby school. These witnesses claim the two used aliases, but the other Arabs referred to

Atta as "Mohamed."

http://www.cooperativeresearch.org/timeline/2001/manilatimes100201.html



"according to local residents who say they recognized the two from news photographs."

"They never tipped,"

Victoria Brocoy, a chambermaid at the Woodland, recalls Mr. Atta,

"Many times I saw him let a girl go at the gate in the morning," she said. "It was always a different girl."

They made certain not to register under their own names, but two patterns have emerged from theinvestigation, according to Philippine police officials. The first is that the two displayed a keen interest in

learning how to fly small planes, and the second is that they dominated a clique of Arab visitors, most of

whom have not been seen since shortly before the attacks.Ferdinand Abad, who was working as a security guard at the entrance to the hotel in mid-1999, remembers

Mr. Atta asking at what time he should wait outside the Woodland hotel for a van to take him to the Angeles

City Flying Club."

"CIA can confirm two Atta visits to Prague--in Dec. 1994 and in June 2000; data surrounding the othertwo--on 26 Oct 1999 and 9 April 2001--is complicated and sometimes contradictory and CIA and FBI cannot

confirm Atta met with the IIS. Czech Interior Minister Stanislav Gross continues to stand by his

information.""It's not just Gross who stands by the information. Five high-ranking members of the Czechgovernment have publicly confirmed meetings between Atta and al Ani."

January-March 2000:

Mohamed Atta, who is under CIA surveillance at this time, begins sending e-mails to US flight schools,

inquiring about their pilot training programs. One e-mail states, "We are a small group (2-3) of young menfrom different arab (sic) countries." "Now we are living in Germany since a while for study purposes. We

would like to start training for the career of airline professional pilots. In this field we haven't yet any

knowledge, but we are ready to undergo an intensive training program." Apparently, multiple e-mails are sentfrom the same Hotmail account. Some e-mails are signed "M. Atta," while others are signed "Mahmoud Ben

Hamad."

April 2000:

"The evidence now surfacing in Charlotte County strongly indicates that Atta and Al-Shehhi were in Punta

Gorda as early as April of 2000, and began their training not in Venice but at a soon-to-be-bankrupt flightschool thirty miles down the road in Punta Gorda called Professional Aviation, where the school's pupils

became a focal point for the FBI's investigation.

"It looks like some of the terrorists were here first and then went to Venice," stated one CharlotteCounty official six months ago.

Terrorist ringleader Mohamed Atta was living under an alias in rural Charlotte County, just south of Venice

on Florida's Gulf Coast, before moving up to Venice, according to law enforcement officials who state for therecord that their investigation ended when they turned over the emails to the FBI. «

http://www.madcowprod.com/mc222004.html

[i]Comment: This would be in strong contrast to the official story having Atta and Al-Shehhi arriving in

summer only and starting their training at Huffman Aviation first.

Please note that Atta and Al-Shehhi have been seen in Punta Gorda in July and August 2001 as well.

Please note that the FBI took indeed the records of "Professional Aviation" (AP, 9/21/01)

Since April 2000:

"Portland police interviewed two employees at the Portland Public Library who are sure they saw Atta on

several occasions. Spruce Whited, head of security at the library, said he first saw a man he is convinced

was Atta in April 2000. He said the man came to the library several times, using the computers. "I onlyrecognized him because he'd been here a few times," he said."

(Portland Press Herald, 10/5/01)

"Spruce Whited, director of security for the Portland, Maine Public Library, later says Mohamed Atta and

20 of 33

possibly a second hijacker are regulars at the library and frequently use public Internet terminals at this

time. He says four other employees recognize Atta as a library patron."

"Kathy Barry, a reference librarian, also reported seeing Atta, whose photograph has been distributed

widely through the media since the Sept. 11 attacks.(Portland Press Herald, 10/5/01)

"’It was either him or his twin brother,’ Barry said."

(Newsday, 11/18/01)

"Whited said no investigators have asked to look at the library's computers.

(…)

He said the FBI had not interviewed him."

(Portland Press Herald, 10/5/01)

[I]Comment: Again Atta is witnessed before his official arrival. Again not at a random place but in

Portland where he is supposed to have spent his last night.

Why does the FBI not follow up this lead?[/I]

Spring 2000:

Mohamed Atta and another of the 9/11 hijackers (presumably Marwan Alshehhi) rent rooms in New York

City, according to a federal investigator. These rooms are in the Bronx and Brooklyn. Following 9/11, Attais traced back to Brooklyn by a parking ticket issued to a rental car he was driving. The Associated Press

article on this subject does not specify if Atta first stayed in New York before or after the official entrance

date of June 3, 2000.

http://multimedia.belointeractive.com/attack/investigation/1208atta.html

April 17, 2000:

"Mohammed Atta, an Egyptian, applied for and on the next day received a five-year B-1/B-2

(tourist/business) visa from the U.S. embassy in Berlin, Germany. The consular officer who adjudicated this

visa said Atta "definitely" was not interviewed. According to the officer, because he was a third-countrynational who had long been resident in Germany (approximately five years), the visa interview requirement

was waived, and Atta was "basically treated like" a German citizen. German citizens do not need visas, as

they participate in a "visa waiver" program. Another factor in his favor was Atta’s strong record as a studentin Germany. Atta’s visa application was destroyed prior to 9/11 pursuant to State Department policy then in

effect, so we were able to review only the electronic record of his application."

(Terrorist Travel, 10f)

Late April-Mid-May 2000:

Mohamed Atta reportedly has a very strange meeting with Johnelle Bryant of the US Department of

Agriculture. According to Bryant, in the meeting Atta does all of the following:

He initially refuses to speak with one who is "but a FEMAle."

He asks her for a loan of $650,000 to buy and modify a crop-dusting plane.

He mentions that he wants to "build a chemical tank that would fit inside the aircraft and take up everyavailable square inch of the aircraft except for where the pilot would be sitting."

He uses his real name even as she takes notes, and makes sure she spells it correctly.

He says he has just arrived from Afghanistan.

He tells about his travel plans to Spain and Germany.

He expresses an interest in visiting New York.

He asks her about security at the WTC and other US landmarks.

He discusses al-Qaeda and its need for American membership.

He tells her bin Laden "would someday be known as the world's greatest leader."

He asks to buy the aerial photograph of Washington hanging on her Florida office wall, throwing increasinglylarge "wads of cash" at her when she refuses to sell it.

May 31, 2000:[/i]

The Commission and the Czech News Agency contradicts that Atta stayed in Prague airport and had to return

to Germany:

"Investigations into the preparations of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack in the USA have revealed that

the Muhammad Atta who spent six hours in the terminal of Prague's Ruzyne Airport in May 2000 was not the

terrorist leader, today's Mlada fronta Dnes (MfD) writes. According to MfD, which quoted a report from theSunday issue of the Chicago Tribune citing German security sources, the man in the Prague airport was in fact

named Muhammad Atta, but was a businessman from Pakistan. He allegedly flew into Prague on May 31 and

spent several hours in the airport's transit space, since his Czech visa was only valid as of June 1."


"Reports that Atta was in the Prague airport on May 30-31,2000,and that he was turned back because helacked a visa appear to be a case of mistaken identity: a Pakistani traveler with a name similar to Atta's

attempted to enter the Czech Republic from Saudi Arabia via Germany but was forced to return to Germany

because he lacked a valid Czech visa."

(CR, 522)

[i]Comment: So again somebody with basically the same name that crosses the road of the alleged hijacker.

Please note the small difference that the refusal talks about Atta being in May 31 in the airport while earlierreports had him there on May 30. Moreover please note the detailed accounts about the movements of Atta

after coming back from Prague. See "June 2, 2000".[/i]

Between May 31 and June 2, 2001:

Atta "flew back to Germany, where he was a student in Hamburg, got a Czech visa"

Frankfurt bound for Prague.

June 2-3, 2000:

"Atta arrived in Prague by bus on June 2. According to the information of the Czech counter-intelligence

service (BIS), he spent some time in a gambling centre near Prague's main bus station Florenc. On the nextday he flew to New York, but no record about his being accommodated somewhere overnight has been

found. This indicates that he spent the night in private, Respekt writes.It points to "the important information"

that tens of thousands of dollars reached Atta's accounts in Germany and the USA two days after his Praguevisit."


"After the approximately seven-hour trip, Atta disappeared in Prague for almost 24 hours. Czech officialscannot find evidence of his staying in a hotel under his own name, suggesting he registered under an assumed

name or stayed in a private home."


"Atta arrived in Prague on June 2 by bus from Cologne, Germany, and on June 3 flew to New York on a

direct Czech Airlines (CSA) flight. "This information was verified, and it was confirmed that it was a case of

the same name. That is all that I recall of it," the former head of the Czech intelligence services (BIS), JiriRuzek, told MfD."

neighborhood. The two were practically ghosts."We never saw them," said neighbor Jeff Duignan, 49, who was interviewed by federal investigators. "If

they were here at all, it was only in the nighttime. They never bothered us and we never bothered them." (...)

Residents of Nokomis were buzzing Thursday after learning the two had lived in their midst. Most said they

didn't recognize a photo of Atta being carried by the media.

But at Pelican Alley, a bar and restaurant about a mile from the Laurel Road house, employees thought they

recognized Atta. They said he strongly resembled a man who was there a couple of months ago with twoother Arab men. (...) Around the corner from Laurel Road is Nokomis Village, a shopping plaza with a Publix

grocery store, a coin-operated laundry, a video store and about 10 other stores. (…)If Atta and al Shehhi

patronized the shops, no one remembered them. Neither did employees of local gas stations and

convenience stores. "
