From 911Encyclopedia:
Name of the hotel in Boston in Copley Plaza, which was stormed on September 12th, 2001 by the FBI and Swat teams. The Boston Globe reported on its website, that three people were taken into custody at the hotel. The Globe said the three were linked to a credit card used to buy tickets on the flights that crashed into the World Trade Center. It cited an anonymous source close to the investigation. A law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity told The Associated Press that while no one was arrested in the hijackings, a Boston search turned up a link to a name on the manifest of one of the hijacked flights.

The Boston-raid is connected with some investigative oddities: The FBI later seized a car containing flight manuals and an instruction book on how to fly a Boeing 767. Furthermore the authorities seized luggage of Atta,Mohammad, which did not make the connection when Atta arrived on a flight to Boston from Portland in Maine. It contained instructional videos and manuals on operating Boeing 767s, overalls like those worn by airport ramp workers, a Holy Quran and a fuel-consumption calculator. http://straitstimes.asia1.com.sg/mnt/html/webspecial/WTC/wtcnews123.html+westin+hotel+boston+FBI&hl=en&ie=UTF-8 Other oddities or irregularities: 1) Official flight Manuals exist only in english, french or one japanese dialect. Every professional pilot has to learn english aviation abbreviations. 2) The Portland flight was already postponed for a couple of minutes. The luggage had enough time to pass the connection. However for bizarre reasons, Atta and Alomari came on the last minute and therefore "in time", so that this part of the puzzle would even make sense. But what happened with Alomaris luggage?
