expected to believe that after years of planning this attack, the attack leader was<br />

willing to risk the mission by planning on a connecting flight being ‘on-time’?<br />

(Especially when he was within driving distance of the airport.) This however,<br />

was probably not the case, which actually makes the bag story more suspicious.<br />

American Airlines Flight <strong>11</strong> left at 7:59 AM, but the FBI maintain Atta was on<br />

the phone, in the Boston airport at 6:45 – meaning the bag had well over an hour<br />

and fifteen minutes to be transferred. This would throw weight to the argument<br />

the bag was a plant, put into play by someone who understood the bag handling<br />

process and had access to those portions of the airport. Remember that employees<br />

of the Israeli owned firm of Huntleigh USA, managed by former Israeli security<br />

forces, had access throughout the airport.<br />

Atta’s father, in an interview shortly after the attack, made what seemed to be<br />

astounding claims at the time.<br />

"…(he) claimed that his son had called him two days after the attack, and described it as "a<br />

normal conversation." …. Asked what country Muhammad had called from, he said, "The<br />

name of the country isn't written on the phone." Asked where Muhammad was now, he said,<br />

"Ask Mossad." [Muhammad Atta Sr is in the center of the media storm, Ashraf Khalil]<br />

This claim needs to be added to the separate contention by his father that the<br />

person captured in the video boarding the Portland flight was not his son.<br />

At this point in time, these claims seem to be more consistent with the facts than those<br />

presented by the FBI. One of the people who knew Atta best – his father - claims he was<br />

working for the Mossad.<br />

Consistent with these claims that Atta might have been a Mossad agent, there is<br />

now second theory about Atta developing in the official German circles- that Atta<br />

worked with Western Intelligence agencies:<br />

"Suspicion is growing in Hamburg, Germany that Atta maintained ties with Western<br />

intelligence agencies while in Technical School, says one former German intelligence official,<br />

pointing to Atta's participation in an elite program sponsored by the German equivalent of the<br />

Agency for International Development, an arm of the government which often harbors<br />

intelligence operatives in the U.S." [Mohamed Atta Connected To Saudi Royal Family?<br />

Daniel Hopsicker , 3/<strong>11</strong>/2002]<br />

"The only information we have connecting the three Hamburg suspects is the FBI's assertion<br />

that there is a connection," said a high-ranking (German) police source involved in the<br />

investigation…. "We have come across absolutely no evidence of our own."[Los Angeles<br />

Times, Carol J. Williams, 10/23/2001 Staff Writer]<br />

One might argue that because Atta was the most seasoned “pilot” of the group, his<br />

presence on one of the flights leaving Boston was absolutely imperative. This is<br />

probably not true. A recent disclosure based on a slow-motion analysis of the<br />

plane flying into the South Tower (Building 2) shows that in the last seconds, the<br />

plane actually levels out and veers sharply rather than continue its descent, as if it<br />

was targeting floor 78. While the analysis concludes it was targeting floor 78,<br />

please note that an airliner of that magnitude is several stories in itself, and<br />

actually struck several floors simultaneously. According to the residence charts,<br />
