Topic: Marwan Alshehhi


  
 Marwan al-Shehhi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marwan al-Shehhi (Arabic: مروان الشحي, also transliterated Alshehhi) (May 9, 1978 - September 11, 2001) was named by the FBI as the suicide pilot aboard United Airlines flight 175 that crashed into the second World Trade Center tower on September 11, 2001.
Al-Shehhi was born in Ras al Khaimah, in the United Arab Emirates, to a Muslim cleric.
This photograph of Marwan al-Shehhi was released by the FBI in the days following the attack.

 Special Report
Mohamed Atta and Marwan Alshehhi were 2 of the 19 terrorists who hijacked and crashed 4 airplanes on September 11, 2001, resulting in the deaths of over 3,000 individuals, the complete destruction of the World Trade Center Towers in New York City, and extensive damage to the Pentagon.
The evidence with respect to Alshehhi suggests that the inspector's admission of Alshehhi was not in violation of INS practices.
Also, although both Atta and Alshehhi had completed their flight schooling by the time they sought to re-enter the country in January 2001, the inspectors who admitted them were not aware of that fact, since the INS did not collect this information about foreign students.

 Marwan Alshehhi   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Alshehhi's father was a Muslim cleric, andAlshehhi was seen as a quiet and devout Muslim.
In February 1996, Alshehhi enrolled in alanguage institute in Bonn, Germany.
From testimony by FBI Director Mueller, Alshehhi was in charge of mostof the funds, receiving money from Ali Abdul Aziz Ali and Mohammed Yousef Mohamed Alqusaidi, who may be his brother.

According to prosecutors, the hotel owner where Alshehhi was staying two days before found a box cutter in his room and, realizing the implications of an Arab with a box cutter, he had the presence of mind to check the dumpsters outside, where he found a duffel bag.
Alshehhi refused to be interviewed "on the advice of my lawyers," but he reiterated his claim that he had nothing to do with the crimes with which he is charged and is confident that he will be acquitted.
According to him, Alshehhi's defense depends in part on his having breakfast that morning with Satam Al Suqami, but because Suqami's passport was found in the rubble of the towers, Alshehhi's alibi is not likely to stand up, especially as Suqami is looking for a plea bargain himself.

 Special Report
Atta and Alshehhi submitted their I-539 applications for change of status to the TSC, the service center with responsibility for processing and adjudicating applications from Florida, where both men were residing and attending flight school.
Although Atta and Alshehhi had finished their course at Huffman Aviation by the time their applications were adjudicated, the process is not designed to collect this information and even if it were collected, to make this information known to adjudicators in the service centers.
In September 2000, when the Atta and Alshehhi I-539s were received at the TSC, the contractor operating the Mesquite processing facility was Labat-Anderson, Inc. On July 3, 2001, the INS entered into a contract with JHM Research and Development, Inc. (JHM) to handle the clerical processing of applications at the Mesquite facility.

 The Immigration and Naturalization Service's Contacts With Two September 11 Terrorists   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Alshehhi (like Atta) enrolled in Huffman Aviation's professional pilot's program in August 2000 and filed an application with the INS for a change in status from visitor to student, which the INS received on September 19, 2000.
She said that based upon her recollection and the referral report, she referred Alshehhi to secondary because his lengthy prior stay and short absence as reflected in his passport suggested to her that Alshehhi was trying to "beat" the immigration system and was attempting to establish residence in the United States.
Alshehhi, like Atta, left the United States a little more than a month after his prior admission period had expired on November 28, 2000, but he did not overstay since he filed an I-539 on September 19, 2000, prior to the expiration of his admission period.

I am wondering whether Alshehhi was the sole connection of al-Qaeda and the Hamburg group to the Florida group of mercenaries, or whether his identity was also stolen and he was impersonated by a mercenary in Florida.
The Germans claim that in April or May 2000 Alshehhi boasted of the coming attack to a librarian by saying that the World Trade Center would be hit and "there will be thousands of dead." Not that long after, someone called 'Alshehhi' was operating in Florida.
If it is the same guy, and Alshehhi, unlike Atta or Jarrah, actually did move from Hamburg to Florida, Alshehhi may represent the bridge in Florida between al-Qaeda and whatever intelligence agency supplied the mercenaries.

Alshehhi was the pilot of United Flight 175 on September 11, 2001, the plane that took down the second tower at the World Trade Center.
A crewmember, who was there that night, did not want to be identified but she did tell us Alshehhi bought 11 gallons of fuel.
She says Alshehhi charged it to a Huffman Aviation credit card and signed the receipt with his own name.

Two of the men identified by Hamburg police as having perished in the attacks were Mohamed Atta and Marwan Alshehhi, both from the United Arab Emirates.

 Special Report
The INS suffered a firestorm of criticism when it was disclosed that six months after the September 11 terrorist attacks Huffman Aviation received forms notifying it that terrorists Mohamed Atta and Marwan Alshehhi had received approval to change their status to that of students.
We are critical of the INS's failure to alert the FBI to the existence of Atta's and Alshehhi's I-20 forms after the September 11 attacks.
Although the INS quickly determined on September 11 that it had already approved Atta's and Alshehhi's change of status applications and it gathered the change of status files for the FBI, no one in the INS located - or even considered - the notification forms that were being processed by the INS contractor.

 Special Report
Marwan Alshehhi, a citizen of the United Arab Emirates, is believed to have flown United Airlines flight number 35 into the South Tower.
Although Atta and Alshehhi had entered the United States legally in the spring of 2000 with visitor visas, in September 2000 they had requested that the INS change their nonimmigrant status from that of "visitor" to that of "vocational student" so they could continue attending flight training school.
Chapter Four addresses the questions regarding Atta's and Alshehhi's change of status applications and how the notifications of the decisions on those applications were sent to Huffman Aviation six months after the terrorist attacks.
