EVIDENCE PLANTED? 'Open-and-Shut Case' Not So Open and Shut There are glaring holes in the so-called "official evidence" implicating 19 Arab individuals in the Sept. 11 suicide attacks on New York and Washington. Washington has done little to address them. Are investigators afraid of what they might find out? � Exclusive to American Free Press By Christopher J. Petherick � The final desperate words of a flight attendant on one of the airliners which crashed into the World Trade Center on Sept. 11 captured in a telephone conversation with an air-traffic controller contradict official evidence that has been released on the men suspected of hijacking that jetliner, reports the British press. On Sept. 21, the BBC reported that the transcript of a phone call made by Madeline Amy Sweeney aboard American Airlines Flight 11 to Boston air traffic control reveals that the flight attendant identified the hijackers and their seat numbers. However, according to the BBC, the seat numbers were not the seats of the men who the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) says were re sponsible for the hijacking. In addition, the BBC reports that Sweeney identified only four hijackers, whereas FBI officials have released the names of five men they suspect were involved in the terror attack. The FBI names the suspected terrorists as Waleed M. Alshehri, Wail Alshehri, Mohamed Atta, Abdulaziz Alo mari and Satam Al Suqami. At least three of the men-Waleed M. Alshehri, Wail Alshehri and Abdulaziz Alomari-accused of flying the suicide mission are still alive, according to Mideast and western media. The father of Mohamed Atta, who is believed to have been the ring leader, claims that his son was kidnapped and is still alive. For more details on the FBI's list of suspected terrorist hijackers, see American Free Press's story on page one of the Oct. 22 issue. This report-combined with the findings that at least six, possibly even seven, of the purported terrorists are still alive and had nothing to do with the attacks-could cast doubt on the supposedly open-and-shut case that members of a particular radical Islamic group carried out the hein ous terrorist assaults on Sept. 11. The report also raises the question as to whether, as pointed out by Seymour Hersh in a recent issue of The New Yorker, false evidence was planted. H |
