Who were the hijackers? Mohammed Atta, abdulaziz al Omari, Satam Suqami, and others of their friends. Very little is actually known about these 19 men who killed more than three thousand people. Mohammed Atta is widely believed to have been terrorist’s ringleader. But many Atta’s childhood friends in Egypt find it hard to believe he helped kill thousands of people. They remember him as a shy sweet boy, who would get upset if someone killed an insect. In 1992, at the age of twenty-four, Atta traveled to Hamburg, for graduate school, and he slowly began to change. He became more outspoken. He also became more frustrated, complaining to friends that Muslims around the world were being repressed and treated unfairly. Finally, in 1997, he disappeared for more than a year. In summer of 2000, Atta moved to United States. He found a place to live in South Florida, and began taking lessons at local flight school.
What were the terrorist thinking? They were motivated by very powerful faith-their extremist interpretation of Islam. Osama bin laden has told that God wants his faithful to kill Americans no matter what the cost, they will rewarded with eternity in paradise.
This is interesting, but there’s lot of information that I can’t reduce to 50-100 words. If you want to see Mohammed Atta picture, type this link : http://planete.qc.ca/floride/images/mohamadatta.JPG . They said that, “When the plane starts moving, then you are traveling toward God and what a blessing that travel is.”—Sounds crazy? Yeah..

this story is interesting but a little bit far- fetched ....
I think this shows how a group of people can become very angry about something that the rest of the world may not even think too much about. Unfortunately, these days, it is very easy for a small group of people to kill very many of their "enemies" using modern technology.
I think that much of your blog was copied from the book. Try harder to use your own words, OK?
