Jarett KobekGUEST
I can't remember if he was married or if he had a fiance.
Jarett KobekGUEST
But when you saw Ziad Jarrah, when you saw Muhammad Atta in Cairo, if he came back to Cairo, you would know something's wrong.
Jarett KobekGUEST
You'd be like, all right, this guy's fucked up.
Jarett KobekGUEST
Everyone knew it.
Jarett KobekGUEST
Everyone understood it.
Jarett KobekGUEST
If you saw Ziad Jarrah in Lebanon, he would just be like another playboy from Beirut.
Jarett KobekGUEST
There was nothing... about him outside of his life in Hamburg that would indicate oh this guy is about to be part of you know the biggest terrorist attack So, and he and Otto fought in real life.
Jarett KobekGUEST
That's heavily documented that they kind of didn't like each other.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Marwan al-Shehhi is a young Emirati on a military scholarship who struggles at university and grows steadily stricter in his faith.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Ziad Jarrah is a Lebanese student from a wealthy family who attended Christian schools, knew the best nightclubs in Beirut, and has a Turkish German girlfriend named Aysel Sengün.
speaker_0NARRATOR
In September 1997, Jarrah abruptly switches from dentistry to aircraft engineering.
speaker_0NARRATOR
His reasons remain unclear.
Richard Andrew GroveGUEST
No, it's not just, yeah.
Jason BermasHOST
Um, you know, y- you, you talk about security, well, Ziad Jarrah, you know, he's using an AB email, which is a US defense contractors company, right? And then you find out, uh, much later on, I think it was just revealed in the last couple of years, that two of Jarrah's, uh, relatives were Mossad for 25 years.
Richard Andrew GroveGUEST
Right.
Jason BermasHOST
Um, so a- again, there are those connections.
Martin BruntHOST
To track where the men had been before the attacks, flight school records then identified the four men who'd trained as pilots.
Martin BruntHOST
Atta, Marwan al-Shihi, Hani Handjoor and Ziad Jarrah.
Martin BruntHOST
And they showed how they had prepared to take control of those planes.
Helen FosperoHOST
And money as well connected the teams, didn't it?
Brigitte GabrielGUEST
The ma- the majority of them were Saudis.
Brigitte GabrielGUEST
Remember, Mohamed Atta was Egyptian, Ziad Jarrah was Lebanese.
Eric BollingHOST
Oh, okay.
Brigitte GabrielGUEST
They had a Pakistani, they had a Yemeni.
Billy Ray ValentineHOST
Now, we all know that, uh, directly collect- connected to 9/11.
Billy Ray ValentineHOST
Other passports were recovered there of two other hijackers, uh, Ziad Jarrah and, uh, I'm, I'm butchering these names, Sayed al-Hamdi.
Billy Ray ValentineHOST
Their passports were recovered.
Billy Ray ValentineHOST
Now, I know what you will say, because this is what I said, "Well, they were hijackers." So it's convenient for those passports to be recovered in order to hold up the official story.
Richard MiniterGUEST
Um, you know, fun fact, some of the 9/11 hijackers had been Christian converts into Musl- Islam.
Richard MiniterGUEST
Uh, one, Ziad Jarrah, I believe his name is, tried to leave the plot.
Richard MiniterGUEST
He, his Lebanese girlfriend, um, who was still Christian, wanted to, um, to, to get married and, and have him start a new life, and why don't you get away from these crazy people? And so he left, and Mohamed Atta had to go after him and threaten him to get him to rejoin the hijacking group, right? Uh, so the real reasons have nothing to do with bin, bin Laden's statements about, uh...
Richard MiniterGUEST
Uh, and, and if you look at Ziad Jarrah, he says nothing, positively nothing about Gaza or the West Bank or the Palestinians.
Richard MiniterGUEST
Not a single word.
Richard MiniterGUEST
So the idea this was an animating principle of theirs is just not the case.
Ryan DawsonGUEST
They have the black box from Shanksville.
Ryan DawsonGUEST
It was played at the Moussaoui trial, and actually, that's very important because it shows that Ziad Jarrah was not on the plane.
Ryan DawsonGUEST
He had first cousins who worked for the Israeli government.
Ryan DawsonGUEST
In all of-
Ryan DawsonGUEST
That's said by the other hijackers, who certainly would know who would hijack the plane.
Ryan DawsonGUEST
They yell his name, "Up, up, down, down." They're telling him what to do as the passengers are coming in.
Ryan DawsonGUEST
Ziad Jarrah's cousins, Youssef Jarrah and Ali Jarrah, were busted as spies on Hezbollah.
Ryan DawsonGUEST
Not only do they work for Israel, they work for Israeli intelligence.
speaker_0HOST
It was central to al-Qaeda before 9/11.
speaker_0HOST
It is the exact physical location where Mohammed Atta, the tactical commander of the hijackers, and Ziad Jarrah, the pilot of United Flight 93, recorded their wills.
speaker_1HOST
It's chilling.
speaker_0HOST
And now the group has reopened it.
Ryan DawsonHOST
But this conflicts with the account that Flight 93's intended target was the White House, something the US media was saying on the day of 9-11 without any reason or evidence to do so.
Ryan DawsonHOST
It seems more likely that the pilot of Flight 93, which was not Ziad al-Jarrah but al-Ghamni, would know what his own target was.
Ryan DawsonHOST
If the Pentagon and World Trade Centers had already been hit, that means his target was military in nature, which could have been Langley or doubling up on the Pentagon.
Ryan DawsonHOST
But I disagree with the interpretation.
1 HR 23 MINS LATER
Ryan DawsonHOST
What are the odds? And then there were not one, but three discovered passports.
Ryan DawsonHOST
Sure.
Ryan DawsonHOST
One was a Flight 93 hijacker and alleged pilot, Ziad Al-Jarrah, whose passport is about the only evidence implicating that Al-Jarrah was actually on the flight.
Ryan DawsonHOST
None of the calls made on the plane mentioned him.
