Waleed al-Shehri

Waleed M. al-Shehri was, according to the The 911 Commission, the FBI and most of the western press, a hijacker of American Airlines Flight 11 from Boston to Los Angeles that crashed into the World Trade Center as part of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. His brother, Wail al-Shehri, is also supposedly 9/11 hijacker.

The problem with the official story is that it has been widely reported that Waleed M. al-Shehri is well and alive.

"Saudi Arabian pilot Waleed Al Shehri was one of five men that the FBI said had deliberately crashed American Airlines flight 11 into the World Trade Centre on 11 September.

(..)

He acknowledges that he attended flight training school at Daytona Beach in the United States, and is indeed the same Waleed Al Shehri to whom the FBI has been referring."

The Der Spiegel published an article in 2003 that attempts to discredit the BBC and claims the above BBC story is false. The article basically tries to discredit anyone who questions the official story and refers to anyone who does not buy the official myth as having "outrageous conspiracy theories". This article represents the majority of articles in the mainstream press in NATO countries; they would have you believe anything other than the official story is "outrageous conspiracy theories" yet the official story implies that steel beams can fall through concrete as fast as it falls through the air..

2003-11-08: Panoply of the Absurd

"What these investigative journalists should have done was to spend a little time listening to those whom they cite as "reputable" sources for their arguments. Take the BBC, for example, which did in fact report, on September 23, 2001, that some of the alleged terrorists were alive and healthy and had protested their being named as assassins.

But there is one wrinkle. The BBC journalist responsible for the story only recalls this supposed sensation after having been told the date on which the story aired. "No, we did not have any videotape or photographs of the individuals in question at that time," he says, and tells us that the report was based on articles in Arab newspapers, such as the Arab News, an English-language Saudi newspaper."

The article in Der Spiegel completely ignores the fact that the Telegraph interviewed four of the supposed hijackers..:

"THEIR names were flashed around the world as suicide hijackers who carried out the attacks on America. But yesterday four innocent men told how their identities had been stolen by Osama bin Laden's teams to cover their tracks."

Do you agree with Charlie Sheen that the U.S. government covered up the real events of the 9/11 attacks?
