	Chron.com \| British say suspect instructed hijackers
		The depiction of Raissi's role supported suggestions by investigators in Germany that the 19 men so far identified as the hijackers were part of a conspiracy by at least 30 individuals, whose missions varied from planning and supervising to carrying out the hijackings on Sept. 11.
		While Raissi's lawyers denied his involvement, the assertions by Sambir may provide the first public insight into the movements and operations of a second tier of attackers, beyond the hijackers.
		Sambir said Raissi, who was based in Britain, visited the United States on several occasions between June and July of this year and on June 23 flew to Las Vegas with his French-born wife, Sonia, 25, who works for Air France at Heathrow Airport.

		He went to Sambir as a last and almost hopeless resort, having heard in Macassar of the white man there, and of the regular steamer trading from Singapore--allured also by the fact that there was no Dutch resident on the river, which would make things easier, no doubt.
		Nature slept in an exhausted repose after the fierce turmoil, while under the unsteady hand of the statesman of Sambir the Trovatore fitfully wept, wailed, and bade good-bye to his Leonore again and again in a mournful round of tearful and endless iteration.
