American Airlines Flight 11 Hijacker

The following have been named as the men who hijacked AA Flight 11, which left Boston's Logan Airport bound for Los Angeles before being piloted into the North Tower of the World Trade Center.

Abdulaziz Alomari Varying dates of birth used. Possible residence: Hollywood, Fla. Listed as a passenger in seat 8G. Alomari flew from Portland, Maine, to Boston, where the two flights that struck the World Trade Center towers originated, with Mohamed Atta. Alomari was believed to be one of the pilots of the hijacked plane. But a Saudi man has reported to authorities that he is the real Abdulaziz Alomari, and claims his passport was stolen in 1995 while he studied electrical engineering at the University of Denver. Alomari says he informed police of the theft.

"The name [listed by the FBI] is my name and the birth date is the same as mine, but I am not the one who bombed the World Trade Center in New York," Abdulaziz Alomari told the London-based Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper.

Alomari has been named an unindicted co-conspirator in the indictment against Zacarias Moussaoui.

Wail M. al-Shehri Date of birth used: July 31, 1973. Possible residences: Hollywood and Boynton Beach Fla., and Newton, Mass. Listed as a passenger in seat 2A. Believed to be one of the pilots of the hijacked flight. Came to the United States two weeks before the attacks from Saudi Arabia, where he left a suicide note. He was a member of Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda terrorist network. Father claims Wail, in December 2000, left home and work to travel for medical treatment. The Associated Press reports that the FBI has raided a hotel in Newton, a Boston suburb, where al-Shehri and his brother Waleed were believed to have stayed the night before the Sept. 11 attacks. The FBI has obtained the phone records from his mobile phone.

Wail has been named an unindicted co-conspirator in the indictment against Zacarias Moussaoui.

Waleed M. al-Shehri Varying dates of birth used. Possible residences: Hollywood, Orlando, Daytona Beach, Fla.
