From THE ALL-SEEING i
I have partially reconstructed the movements of the alleged hijackers in the weeks leading up to the September 11th attacks by studying the evidence produced at the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui, as well as contemporary news sources and public records. The picture that emerges raises more questions than answers.
“And the more I see - the more I know; the more I know - the less I understand. ” – Paul Weller, The Changingman
Much of the uncertainty surrounds the behaviour of the alleged lead hijacker, Mohamed Atta. For clarity, I have stripped out everything that doesn’t relate to either Atta himself, or else to his two closest associates, Marwan al-Shehhi and Abdulaziz a-Omari. I have also limited this study to an examination of period between August 28th and September 11th. Finally, I have avoided repeating the questions raised in my earlier article, Mohamed Atta and the ‘Rosetta Stone’, concerning the bags that mysteriously failed to make it aboard American Airlines Flight 11.

Last Friday night, Atta, Shehhi and an unidentified man spent 3½ hours at a sports bar, Shuckums, in Hollywood, Fla. While Atta played video games, the other two had about five drinks each and appeared resistant to paying the $48 tab. The manager, Tony Amos, recalled yesterday that he inquired whether they could not afford the bill. Shehhi “looked at me with an arrogant look,” Amos said. “He pulled out a wad of cash and put it on the bar table and said, ‘There is no money issue. I am an airline pilot.’ ”
[8] The Daily Telegraph – September 14th 2001
Tony Amos, the manager of Shuckums Oyster Bar and Restaurant in Hollywood, just north of Miami, was interviewed by the FBI and he and his barman and a waitress all identified Atta and his cousin as some hard drinkers who propped up the bar last Friday.
Atta’s bill for three hours of vodka drinking came to $48 (£33). When he drunkenly disputed the charge, Mr Amos intervened. “Of course I can pay the bill,” Atta told him. “I’m an airline pilot.”
[9] ABC (Australia)
LIZ JACKSON: With three days left to go, the pair spent their last Friday night out on the town in Shuckums bar, Miami, with a friend. It’s a cheap dive.
TONY AMOS, BAR MANAGER: There were three gentlemen that came in that day. Two gentlemen sat — actually where you’re sitting right now and the other gentle — the third gentleman, Mohamed Atta, was sitting at the other end of the bar and he was playing video games.
LIZ JACKSON: Tony Amos was the manager on the night and says, as the evening progressed, Marwan Al-Shehhi got agitated and drunk.
TONY AMOS: And he pulled out a wad of cash and he put it on the bar and he said, “I’m an airline pilot.” So I just took it at face value. I mean, he had been drinking, I found out that him and the other gentleman had five rounds each. Mohamed Atta, he was just drinking cranberry juice. He’d get up once in a while, come over to — who I found out was this Marwan, was his cousin or claimed to be related in some way, and he would just maybe say something in his ear and then go back to the other end of the bar and just continue playing the video game. And he did that for four hours.
[10] Time Magazine
It was at Shuckums, on Sept. 8, that Mohamed Atta and Marwan Al-Shehhi did some premass murder tippling. Atta drank vodka and orange juice, while Al-Shehhi preferred rum and cokes, five drinks apiece. “They were wasted,” the bartender recalled, and Atta objected to the $48 bill. Tony Amos, the manager, asked if they were short the cash. “No,” said Atta. “I have plenty of money. I’m a pilot.” And he hauled a wad of $50 and $100 bills from his pocket, eventually leaving a $3 tip.
[11] St Petersburg Times – September 1st 2002
When al-Shehhi returned the rental car for the last time Sept. 9, he asked that the charge be removed from Atta’s credit card and placed on his.
[12] ABC (Australia)
LIZ JACKSON: That weekend, Mohamed Atta headed north to Portland, Maine. Al-Shehhi returned their hire car on the Sunday afternoon.

Police and law enforcement sources said the two brothers suspected in the Boston hijackings were Adnan Bukhari and Ameer Abbas Bukhari, who up until recent days had lived in Vero Beach, Florida. Both of their homes have been searched, the sources said.
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.
Investigators are analyzing videotapes at the car rental facility and at the Maine airport.
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.”
[16] Wikipedia Article – Mohamed Atta’s Rented Nissan Altima
While it was initially reported that Adnan and Ameer Bukhari had rented and driven the car, the accepted story is now that Mohamed Atta al Sayed rented the car, although later reports continued to suggest that Adnan Bukhari fell under suspicion because of documents found within the car.
[17] CNN – May 22nd 2002
The FBI has found credit card receipts that appear to place September 11 hijacker Mohamed Atta in Manhattan the day before the attacks, a source close to the investigation told CNN Wednesday.
[18] Freedom of Information Center – May 22nd 2002
The FBI found transactions that show Atta used a credit card in Manhattan the day before the planes crashed into the World Trade Center. Until recently, law enforcement officials could not figure out why he was here. New evidence has emerged that leads investigators to believe Atta made a last-minute visit to double-check coordinates of the twin towers and plug them into a sophisticated Global Positioning System device bought by the hijackers, the source said.
Investigators suspect Atta’s trip to the Trade Center was necessary because they believe the hijackers were too inexperienced to handle the jumbo jets without help. They know the hijackers bought GPS devices in the months leading up to the attack.
[19] Newsday – September 30th 2001
It was Monday, Sept. 10, and Atta, 33, an Egyptian who in the past few years had lived a wanderer’s life between several cities in Florida, was stopped at a toll booth at Exit 13 of the Massachusetts Turnpike. He boiled over in anger when the operator demanded that he pay the toll.
When Atta refused and sped away, the operator wrote down the license plate number of his rented white Mitsubishi.
KEY QUESTIONS
Since Mohamed Atta is not known to have been in Springfield, MA at any time between August 16th and September 11th [1], when did he rent the Mitsubishi Mirage [3a]?
If Mohamed Atta was in Fort Lauderdale, FL between August 29th and September 7th [1], , , who was driving the Mitsubishi Mirage in Boston, MA on both September 4th [D] and September 6th [G]?
Why did Mohamed Atta change his mind about flying US Air FL2968 from Fort Lauderdale to Boston on September 7th [E] and instead opt to fly US Air FL2719 from Fort Lauderdale to Baltimore on September 7th ?
If Mohamed Atta boarded US Air FL2719 from Fort Lauderdale to Baltimore on September 7th ; and if US Air FL2719 departed at 15:15 [6]; then who was at Shuckums Sports Bar in Hollywood, Florida on September 7th between 15:00 and 18:00 [7], [8], [9], [10]?
If Mohamed Atta flew from Baltimore to Boston on September 9th [K]; and if Marwan al-Shehhi flew from Fort Lauderdale to Boston at 12:00 on September 9th [M]; and if none of the remaining alleged hijackers are known to have been in Florida on September 9th [14]; then who returned the rented Ford Escort to Warrick’s Rent-a-Car in Pompano Beach, Florida at 17:00 on September 9th [O], [13] ?
Where did information linking Adnan Bukhari and Ameer Abbas Bukhari to the rented Nissan Altima come from [Q]?
What information was Portland Police Chief Mike Chitwood acting upon when he said, “I can tell you [Adnan Bukhari and Ameer Abbas Bukhari] did get on a plane and fly to Boston early yesterday morning…” [14]?
If Mohammed Atta was in Boston [M] and Portland [V] on September 10th, who was seen driving the Mitsubishi Mirage rented in Atta’s name [3a] in Boston’s Logan Airport [T] and around Exit 13 of the Masspike on September 10th?
If Mohamed Atta is in or around Boston, MA on September 10th [K], [T], , [V]; and if none of the alleged hijackers are known to have been in New York on September 10th [14]; then who used Atta’s credit card in New York on September 10th, [17], [18]?
Why did Mohamed Atta fly from Baltimore to Boston on September 7th [K]; then drive from Boston to Portland on September 10th [V]; and then fly from Portland back to Boston in the early hours of September 11th [X]?
