Hijack suspect's final instructions
Mohammed Atta
According to the FBI Mohammed Atta led the hijackers
The FBI has released a document containing what it believes to be the final instructions of alleged hijack gang leader Mohamed Atta. The following are extracts:

Remember the battle of the prophet... against the infidels, as he went on building the Islamic state.

Everybody hates death, fears death. But only those, the believers who know the life after death and the reward of life after death would be the ones who will be seeking death.

You will be entering paradise

You should pray, you should fast. You should ask God for guidance, you should ask God for help.

Continue to pray throughout this night. Continue to recite the Koran.

The time of judgment has arrived. Hence we need to utilise those few hours to ask God for forgiveness. You have to be convinced that those few hours that are left you in your life are very few. From there you will begin to live the happy life, the infinite paradise.


Make sure that you are clean, your clothes are clean, including your shoes

Keep a very open mind, keep a very open heart on what you are to face. You will be entering paradise. You will be entering the happiest life, everlasting life

Make sure that you are clean, your clothes are clean, including your shoes.

Check all of your items... your bag, your clothes, knives, your will, your IDs, your passport, all your papers... Make sure that nobody is following you.
