 Mohammad Atta - Iraq - Prague - Worldpress.org   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Although it has not yet been proved whether the consul met with the terrorist Mohammad Atta [suspected leader of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the United States], new information from the American, the German, and the Czech [intelligence] services indicates that Atta’s visits to Prague were important.
Muhammad Atta, 33, an Egyptian, the leader of a 20-member group that committed the attack against the United States in September 2001 that left nearly 3,000 dead in its wake, flew to Prague for the first time on May 30, 2000.

Atta did not have a visa to enter the Czech Republic, so he could not leave the transit lounge.
That suggests two things: first that Atta (or his contact) knew enough about security in Prague that he could avoid being spotted by security, and second that he had a contact in Prague so important that an airport meeting was advisable — and had to be made on a very specific date and time.

An Egyptian national, Atta is believed to be among the central figures responsible for conceptualising and executing the attacks on the U.S. Officials of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation are now looking into Atta's possible links with Sheikh.
