In Boston and Florida, Search for Suspects Intensifies

MIAMI (AP) -- A Florida man says FBI agents told him that two men who stayed with him 
while getting flight training last year were involved in Tuesday's attacks on the 
World Trade Center.

Charlie Voss, a former employee at Huffman Aviation in Venice, said FBI agents who 
interviewed him at his home told him that authorities found a car at Boston's Logan 
Airport registered to the two men.

"They informed us individuals who had crossed our path were involved yesterday with 
the airplane in the tragedy at the World Trade Center," Voss said.

Voss said one of men who stayed at the house in July 2000 was named Mohamed Atta. He 
said he knew the other man only by the name of Marwan.

Shortly after 12:30 a.m. Wednesday, the FBI in Miami issued a national bulletin for 
law enforcement agencies to be on the lookout for two cars. The bulletin did not 
mention whether the vehicles were linked to Tuesday's attacks.

Records with the Florida Division of Motor Vehicles show that one of the vehicles the 
FBI was pursuing -- a 1989 red Pontiac -- was registered to Atta. Atta, 33, previously 
had a drivers license in Egypt, state records show.

In Coral Springs, the FBI was at an apartment complex that Atta listed as his last 
address with the motor vehicle division.

"We were out there with the FBI late last night at that location," said Coral Springs 
Police Sgt. Rich Nicorvo. He said the FBI was at the address for at least one hour.

Tony Amos, the manager of Shuckums restaurant in Hollywood, said Wednesday that FBI 
agents showed photos of two men to employees of the restaurant Tuesday night.

The photos had signatures on the bottom, Amos said. Amos was able to identify the 
photo of a man whose first name was signed Mohamed, but he could not make out the last 
name, he said. Amos said a waitress and bartender identified both men as customers who 
ate dinner at the
restaurant some time last week.

Amos said the man identified as Mohamed gave him some trouble when the bill came. He 
said he told the man to be truthful if he couldn't pay.

"The guy said, 'I can afford to pay the bill. I'm an airline pilot,"' Amos said.

Agents were conducting interviews and sought search warrants in southern Florida and 
in Daytona Beach in central Florida amid evidence that suspected terrorist 
sympathizers were operating in the area, officials said.

"We are covering leads all over the country and this is one of the many we are 
covering," said Brian Kensel, an FBI spokesman in Tampa.

In Venice, Voss said the two men said they had just arrived from Germany and wanted to 
take flight training at Huffman Aviation, where Voss worked for more than 13 years. He 
no longer is with the company.

The houseguests took flight training on small planes at Venice Municipal Airport, 
about 60 miles south of Tampa. Voss said the men were asked to leave their home after 
a week when the couple grew uncomfortable with them.

Voss said he wasn't involved with their training. The company offers training in 
light, single-engine aircraft like Cessnas and Pipers but no commercial aircraft.

Rudy Dekkers, president and owner of Huffman Aviation, said the FBI was looking at 
student records at the flight school, including copies of passports from the men.

Kensel of the FBI could not confirm whether a search was conducted in Venice.

Officials at Embry-Riddle, the world's largest university
specializing in aviation, would not confirm if the FBI had contacted the school.

Spokeswoman Lisa Ledewitz said one out of every four commercial airline pilots was 
trained at Embry-Riddle. Students train in single-engine planes and until last 
December the school used a Boeing 737 simulator.

"We are suffering like the rest of the country," Ledewitz said. She said all 
international students who enroll in the pilot program have to receive prior approval 
from the U.S. State Department.

The FBI executed search warrants in Davie in Broward County north of the Miami area, 
the South Florida Sun-Sentinel of Fort Lauderdale reported, quoting Miami FBI 
spokesman Judy Orihuela. Orihuela declined comment Wednesday.

Hollywood Police Detective Carlos Negron said Wednesday that the department was 
helping the FBI in an investigation in Broward and declined further comment.
