The following is from CNN's latest dispatch on attempts to find the \"culprits\" in

Tuesday's tragedy.

9\/14\/01, quoted as

\" (CNN) -- CNN has learned from

federal law enforcement sources the

names used by 18 hijackers who

authorities believe commandeered

four commercial airliners on Tuesday

in a coordinated attack on two renowned

symbols of American power.

The suspected hijackers aboard American Airlines Flight 11, which hit

the north tower of the World Trade Center, were Walid Al Shehri, Wail

Alsheri aka Waleed Alsheri, Mohammad Atta, Aabdul Alomari and Satam

Sugami.

Aboard United Airlines Flight 175, which hit the south tower of the World Trade

Center, the suspected hijackers were Marawn Alshehhi, Fayez Ahmed, Mohald

Alshehri, Hamza Al Ghamdi and Ahmed Al Ghamdi.

Those believed to be the hijackers aboard American Airlines Flight 77, which hit

the Pentagon, were Khalid Almihdhar, Majed Moqued, Nawaf Al Hazmi and

Salem Al Hazmi.

The suspected hijackers aboard United Airlines Flight 93, which crashed in rural

Pennsylvania, were Ahmed Al Haznawi, Ahmed Alnami, Ziad Jarrah and Saeed

Alghamdi.

Spellings are as they appear on federal documents and may vary from other

spellings used.....\"

Say what?!?!?!

Okay, so does that mean that the spellings are wrong, or are all the names just plain

ficticious, like their use of 1991 footage, or the initial fabricated footage of so-called \"Kosovo

refugees\" (now revealed to be NATO ops just relocating civilians for cameras)

that was broadcast as a precursor to our involvement in the Bosnia conflict. It has

been documented that CNN has in the past had military ops on their news bureau both

during the Gulf War and Yugoslavia. I think most Americans would begin to question their

credibility....<\/p>\n","contact":"","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"In the midst of revelations that Americans were fed 1991 CNN\r\nfootage of Palestinians celebrating in the invasion of Kuwait, the military\r\nindustrial complex's news agency has pulled out their trump card to \r\ncounter-act any doubts conscious citizens may have, but witness their\r\nwording...","numcomment":3,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2001\/09\/10171.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[{"id":10181,"heading":"Journalistic Credibility","article":"I would urge those who post apparent revelations regarding journalistic foulplay (eg- CNN's deliberate use of false documentary footage) to be as thorough as possible.
