Mohamed Atta, 33, possibly an Egyptian national, has emerged as a key link among the 19 men. He is believed to have been at the controls of Flight 11 when it hit the World Trade Center and has been linked to hijackers on two of the three other planes. Investigators say Atta was part of a terrorist cell in Hamburg, Germany, and received flight training in Florida. In the months before the attack, he met with Islamic extremists in Spain, inquired about crop-dusters in Florida, conferred with an Iraqi intelligence agent in Europe and skipped a court date in Florida for driving without a license. |
