En mohammed atta is gewoon nog in leven.Lees dit maar:
The father of Mohammed Atta, the alleged ringleader of the September 11 attacks, said in an interview published yesterday that his son was still alive.
"He is hiding in a secret place so as not to be murdered by the US secret services," Mohammed el-Amir Atta, 66, told the German newspaper Bild am Sonntag. He also vehemently denied that his son - believed to have flown the first plane into the World Trade Centre - had taken part in the atrocities, blaming them instead on "American Christians".
Speaking from his Cairo home, Mr Atta described hearing about the attacks after returning from a holiday on the Red Sea on the evening of September 12. "My daughter called and said she was going to drop in. She stood at the door and said 'turn on the TV'," he said. Amid images of the jets crashing into the Twin Towers, he saw his son's passport photograph.
"As I saw the picture of my son," he said, "I knew that he hadn't done it. My son called me the day after the attacks on September 12 at around midday. We spoke for two minutes about this and that.
http://www.guardian.co.uk(...)12361,784541,00.htmlThis seems clear enough, until you look at other interviews given by Atta's father, and see how his story changes. The September 2002 Guardian article mentions a phone call the day after the attacks, for example, but here's what he's reported as saying on September 19th, 2001:

...his son and namesake was a shy man who could not possibly have sent a hijacked jet slicing through the first World Trade Center tower.
"Mohamed. Oh God! He is so decent, so shy and tender," said the father, a 65-year-old retired lawyer. "He was so gentle. I used to tell him, 'Toughen up, boy!'"...
The elder Atta confirmed that the picture in all the newspapers was that on his son's passport, but said the younger man might have been murdered and his documents stolen. He said he did not know many details of his son's life in the United States, other than that he thought he was going there for more education. The younger man was last in Egypt a year ago...
"I do not believe my son did it; I am sure he is alive," the father said. "He was afraid of flying."

This was from an interview that took place on the 18th, supposedly 6 days after the phone call from his son, yet this isn't mentioned at all. In fact in this first account he suggests his son many have been murdered.
What’s more, an Arab News report, also published on the 19th, specifically says Atta hadn’t been in contact since the attacks:
...Atta’s father, a lawyer, said he had not heard from his son since the attack, but was confident he had nothing to do with the carnage.
http://www.arabnews.com/?(...)9482&d=19&m=9&y=2001Why not tell reporters that his son had been in touch?
A Newsweek interview less than a week later contained another change or two:
When Mohamed al-Amir Atta, the father of the man thought to be at the controls of American Airlines Flight 11 when it slammed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center, opened the door to his 11th floor apartment in Cairo last Saturday, the first thing he said was: “I’m not benefiting from these interviews. My son is gone. He is now with God. The Mossad killed him.”...
“The Mossad kidnapped my son,” he says. “He is the easiest person to kidnap, very surrendering, no physical power, no money for bodyguards. They used his name and identity.”
On Sept. 12, Atta claims, he was at his vacation home on the Mediterranean coast, shielded from the radio and television and thus unaware of the attacks the previous day, when his son called. They talked about “normal things.” Only later that day, did he hear about the destruction in New York and Washington, and see his son’s picture in the newspaper. He concluded: “They forced him to make the phone call after the attack to cause controversy. Then they killed him. This was done by the Mossad, using American pilots.”...
...Atta visited Egypt in October 1999. “We found him a bride who was nice and delicate, the daughter of a former ambassador.” But Atta said first he had to return to Germany to pursue a Ph.D. The woman’s father, insisting that his daughter not leave Egypt, promised she would be waiting for Atta when he returned. But he never did...
The younger Atta called his family once a month. When he canceled a visit in late 2000, saying that his studies required him to stay in Germany, he worried about how this would affect his mother: “His mother was very much attached to him,” said his father. “She was suffering all sorts of illnesses because of him being absent from her. I’ve never seen such a strong bond of love between a mother and a son.”
According to his father, Atta always said he was calling from Germany and the senior Atta had no knowledge his son had ever been in the United States. More absurd to him was the idea that his son had enrolled in a Florida flight school. “Did he ever learn to fly? Never. He never even had a kite.” Added Atta senior: “My daughter, who is a doctor, used to get him medicine before every journey, to make combat the cramps and the vomiting he feels every time he gets on the plane.”...
http://web.archive.org/we(...)c.msn.com/id/3067635The September 19th account has Atta senior last seeing his son "a year ago", and saying that "he did not know many details of his son's life in the United States, other than that he thought he was going there for more education". Six days later we're told he last saw him in October 1999, and never even knew Atta was in the US. This is contradicted both by the earlier interview, and a 9/11 Commission document on an interview with an unnamed "associate" of Atta, who was told by Atta's father in 2000 that his son was in Florida:
[redacted] initially discounted the post-9/11 of Atta's involvement because he had known Atta by the name of Elamir and because the reports claimed Atta to have spent time in Florida; [redacted] believed that, had Atta actually been in Florida, he would have contacted him. When [redacted] had tried to reach Atta in July-December 2000 (to invite Atta to [redacted wedding), Atta's father likewise had reported that Atta was in Florida, and [redacted] had sought to find him by printing out a list of the approximately 100 "Elamir" phone numbers he could identify in Florida. Fathallah had persuaded [redacted] to abandon this project, reasoning that Atta knew very well how to reach [redacted] and would do so if he wanted to. [redacted] also recalled hearing from Atta's sister that Atta was in Syria.

One year on, in the Guardian story mentioned above, Atta's father is no longer suggesting that Atta has been murdered, and the blame now moves from Mossad to "American Christians".
And in 2005 we have an apparent admission to CNN that the 9/11, 7/7 attacks are justified, and that they would involve "many more fighters like his son":
CAIRO, Egypt (CNN) -- The father of one of the hijackers who commandeered the first plane that crashed into the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, praised the recent terror attacks in London and said many more would follow.
Speaking to CNN producer Ayman Mohyeldin Tuesday in his apartment in the upper-middle-class Cairo suburb of Giza, Mohamed el-Amir said he would like to see more attacks like the July 7 bombings of three London subway trains and a bus that killed 52 people, plus the four bombers.
Displayed prominently in the apartment were pictures of el-Amir's son, Mohamed Atta, the man who is believed to have piloted American Airlines Flight 11 into the north tower of the World Trade Center as part of the attacks on the United States.
El-Amir said the attacks in the United States and the July 7 attacks in London were the beginning of what would be a 50-year religious war, in which there would be many more fighters like his son.
He declared that terror cells around the world were a "nuclear bomb that has now been activated and is ticking."
The man, who gave his age as "at least 70," said he had no sorrow for what happened in London, and said there was a double standard in the way the world viewed the victims in London and victims in the Islamic world.
Cursing in Arabic, el-Amir also denounced Arab leaders and Muslims who condemned the London attacks as being traitors and non-Muslims.
He passionately vowed that he would do anything within his power to encourage more attacks.
When asked if he would allow a CNN crew to videotape another interview with him, el-Amir said he would give his permission -- for a price of $5,000.
That money, he said, would not be kept for himself, but would be donated to someone to carry out another terror attack.
El-Amir said that $5,000 was about how much it would cost to finance another attack in London.
CNN's crew refused to pay for the interview and left after el-Amir's request.
http://edition.cnn.com/20(...)er.terror/index.htmlSo now it seems he accepts Mohamed Atta was a "fighter" in the attacks, after all.
The 9/11 Commission raise a further question about the role and knowledge of Atta's father:
Atta and Shehhi had already returned to Florida. On April 11, they moved into an apartment in Coral Springs. Atta stayed in Florida, awaiting the arrival of the first muscle hijackers.
Shehhi, on the other hand, bought a ticket to Cairo and flew there from Miami on April 18. We do not know much more about Shehhi’s reason for traveling to Egypt in April than we know about his January trip to Morocco. Shehhi did meet with Atta’s father, who stated in a post-9/11 interview that Shehhi just wanted to pick up Atta’s international driver’s license and some money. This story is not credible. Atta already had the license with him and presented it during a traffic stop on April 26 while Shehhi was still abroad. Shehhi spent about two weeks in Egypt,obviously more time than would have been needed just to meet with Atta’s father. Shehhi could have traveled elsewhere during this time, but no records indicating additional travel have been discovered. Page 230/ 231
9/11 Commission Report
And even some amongst the 9/11 truth movement have issues with Mohammed El-Amir. Daniel Hopsicker claims he was visiting Atta two weeks before the attacks, for instance:
In the second major blow in as many weeks to the credibility of the 9.11 Commission report, the MadCowMorningNews has learned exclusively that during final preparations for the Sept 11 attack, Mohamed Atta’s father was 'visiting' his terrorist ringleader son in Venice, Florida.
Moreover, the FBI knew about the U.S. visit of Cairo attorney Mohammed El-Amir almost immediately after the attack, when, after seeing him on television denying that his son had anything to do with the terrorist hijackings, a number of credible witnesses called the Sarasota office of the FBI to report they had seen Atta’s father in Venice with his son ten days to two weeks before the attack.
In addition, closed circuit videotape provided to the FBI as evidence of Atta Senior’s presence appears to have been intentionally erased.
