From 911Encyclopedia:

In a bizarre twist, the Air Force confirmed on September 16th, "that three people named by the FBI as suspects in the hijackings have names similar to three non-Americans who attended U.S. military schools. The names are Mohamed Atta, Abdulaziz Alomari and Alghamdi,Saeed, the Air Force said. It added, however, that discrepancies in their biographical information, such as birthdates, make it unlikely that they are the same three named by the FBI. One of the three attended the Defense Language Institute at Monterey (->), Calif., and the Air War College at Maxwell Air Force Base, Ala.; one attended just the language institute, and one the Aerospace Medical School, the Air Force said..." http://detnews.com/2001/nation/0109/16/nation-295698.htm

Already on September 11th, Air Force spokesman Col. Ken McClellan said "that a man named Mohamed Atta, which the FBI had already identified as one of the five hijackers of American Airlines Flight 11, had once attended the International Officer's School at Maxwell/Gunter Air Force Base in Montgomery, Alabama" But McClellan later denied his own report! However Witnesses from the Base claimed, that they remember Mohammad Atta from his moustache. http://www.pressconnects.com/archive/attack/stories/091701N1.html http://www.flightsafetyacademy.com/mistakes.htm

But this report didn't go away for one week. NEWSWEEK found out four days later on September 15th, that "five of the alleged hijackers of the planes... received training at secure U.S. military installations" in Florida, Texas and Alabama. http://www.msnbc.com/news/629529.asp Three of the alleged hijackers listed their address on drivers licenses and car registrations as the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Fla.--known as the "Cradle of U.S. Navy Aviation," according to a high-ranking U.S. Navy source. "Another of the alleged hijackers may have been trained in strategy and tactics at the Air War College in Montgomery, Ala., said another high-ranking Pentagon official" in the same article. The fifth man may have received language instruction at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas..." As Newsweek revealed, Military records showed that Alghamdi,Saeed, Ahmad Alnami and Ahmed Alghamdi used as their address 10 Radford Boulevard, a base roadway on which residences for foreign-military flight trainees are located. Then again, 3 days later, in another article of pressconects on September 17th, it was found out, that Alghamdi,Saeed was the man, who attended "California's Defense Language Institute in Presidio of Monterey, California." http://www.pressconnects.com/archive/attack/stories/091701N1.html

On September 16th 2001, detnews suddenly reported:

"...The Air Force, meanwhile, confirmed that three people named by the FBI as suspects in the hijackings have names similar to three non-Americans who attended U.S. military schools. The names are Mohamed Atta, Abdulaziz Alomari and Alghamdi,Saeed, the Air Force said. It added, however, that discrepancies in their biographical information, such as birthdates, make it unlikely that they are the same three named by the FBI.

Then all for a sudden, all these stories disappeared from the media landscape. (-> Flightschools)
