From 911Encyclopedia:
In late 2001, Bakri Muhammed, a London based extremist, was accused of having ties with Bin Laden supporters. In an interview with David Hardacre in London for PM on australian ABC TV, Bakri didn't confirm any involvement in the attack, but made jokes about it:
DAVID HARDAKER: One of Britain's extreme clerics, Sheik Omar Bakri Muhammed, urging on a gathering of young English Muslims to wage Holy war. SHEIK OMAR BAKRI MUHAMMED: I'm ask you brother, can you say they become doctors in the west? Pilot. Who's [inaudible] they want to become pilot [laughter]. [inaudible] they become terrorists [inaudible] pilots. DAVID HARDAKER: Joking about September 11 goes down well here. A group of the young men who hang off the Sheik's words told me later they'd be more than happy to sign up as suicide pilots - all for the fundamentalist cause.
