Center.

Possible residence: Hollywood, Fla.
Listed as a passenger in seat 8G. Alomari flew from Portland, Maine, to
Boston, where the two flights that struck the World Trade Center towers
originated, with Mohamed Atta. Alomari was believed to be one of the

that he is the real Abdulaziz Alomari, and claims his passport was stolen
in 1995 while he studied electrical engineering at the University of
Denver. Alomari says he informed police of the theft.
"The name [listed by the FBI] is my name
and the birth date is the same as mine, but I am not the one who bombed
the World Trade Center in New York," Abdulaziz Alomari told the

2000, left home and work to travel for medical treatment. The Associated
Press reports that the FBI has raided a hotel in Newton, a Boston suburb,
where al-Shehri and his brother Waleed were believed to have stayed the
night before the Sept. 11 attacks. The FBI has obtained the phone records
from his mobile phone.

Prior to coming to the United States,
Atta and his cousin, Marwan Al-Shehhi, lived in Hamburg, Germany, a
country federal authorities say has been used often as a base by a number
of terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden's operatives. The general manager
of a crop-dusting airfield in Florida told the FBI Atta and other men
visited the facility as recently as the Saturday before the attacks,
asking questions about crop-dusting planes, including how big of a load of
chemicals they could carry.
The two men earned their private pilot
licenses at an airfield in Venice, Fla. and in December, 2000, spent
thousands on jet training, taking flight simulator lessons for large
commercial jets at a private flight school at Opa Locka, Fla. Atta's car
was found abandoned at Boston's Logan Airport.
Investigators are trying to determine
whether he is the same Mohamed Atta who received U.S. military training,
intended for members of foreign military services, in how to use E-2
Hawkeye radar aircraft at Norfolk Naval Air Station, Va. The FBI has
obtained the phone records from his mobile phone.
Atta's father claims his son had nothing

co-conspirator in the indictment against Zacarias Moussaoui.
