A man named by the U.S. Department of Justice as a suicide
hijacker of American Airlines flight 11, the first airliner to
smash into the World Trade Centre, is very much alive and
living in Jeddah.
Abdulrahman al-Omari, a pilot with Saudi Airlines, was
astonished to find himself accused of hijacking, as well as
being dead, and has visited the U.S. consulate in Jeddah to
demand an explanation.
None has so far been forthcoming. It is possible that the
hijacker adopted Mr. al-Omari's identity but, if he had been
using the same false name while training as a pilot in the U.S.,
he would presumably have been uncovered.
That is not the only error on the [FBI] list of hijackers. The
name of Ziad Jarrah, identified as the pilot-hijacker of United
Airlines flight 93, which crashed in Pennsylvania, was misspelt
"Jarrahi". He was a Lebanese whose family, living in the Bekaa
Valley, spoke to him just two days before his death but who
still refuse to believe that he was involved.
Mr. al-Omari's first name, Abdulrahman, was later given out by
the U.S. authorities as "Abdulaziz" but there can be little
doubt that it referred to the pilot who lives in Jeddah. The
Americans described him as a father of four and Mr. al-Omari
does have four children, all of whom live with him and his
family in Saudi Arabia's second city. He has refused to talk to
reporters and, in the words of one prominent Saudi journalist,
"is one nervous guy".</HTML>
