Special newsline # 3 - America under Attack
Dear friends !
Because overnight (german time) not too many messages were coming in, I
collected some informations for you below. Feel free to spread the newsletters,
maybe they can help somebody.
Latest news from Germany:
There were terrorists in Florida, that attended a flight school there. One of them gave his landlord an adress in Hamburg-Harburg, Marienstrasse no. 54, Germany. A german swat-team searched the rooms. The names of two of the terrorists are already known. The terrorists have told to other persons in the building, that they were coming from the United Arab Emirates.
These persons were identified as Mohamed Atta (33) und Marwan Alshehhi (23, a brother or cousin).
Atta had a pilot license and steered the American Airlines AA 11 that crashed in the WTC. He was identified on the passenger list.
23 year old Marwan Al-Schehi, was on bord of the AA 175.
Both were listed as students on the Hamburg-Harburg university.
One man
was arrested. Investigators told, that he was working on the Hamburg Airport.
A Marwan Al S. rented the flat at Marienstraße no. 54 in Hamburg. He paid DM 1000 for a 3-room-appartment with 58 square meters. Both men were from July 2000 until January 2001 in Florida.
According the saudi newspaper "Al Asharq Al Awsat", a pilot from Afghanistan taught 14 arabic fundamentalists to fly planes like the Boeing 727. According to the pilot Rasul Birwaz, he and four other former pilots of the afghanic flight company Ariana were forced from the Taliban-Regime to teach the terrorists. All 14 "pupils" had left Afghanistan a year ago, some with european passports.
The men recieved a ground basic training. Afterwards, they were brought to a military base east of Kabul, where they recieved „practical training“ from Captain Abdel Satar and another retired general named Islam Khan.
In Florida, the FBI searched at the West Atlantic Boulevard the appartment of Mohammed Atta (33).

RE: Prayer
Hello,
It is terrible, but forget getting on your knees and praying, it is too much associated with the same position used for begging. When we find the people responsible, hit them..and keep hitting them until they assume that position, then hit them again.
For too many years, my country has acted in such a way, that the rest of the world views us as a paper tiger...we want to talk our enemies to death. We have forgotten Roosevelt's "big stick"...war is hell...but when someone hits us in this manner, we have no choise. My only fear is that the diplomats will try to talk this out.
It is easy for me to say, "put others in the line of fire"..send the
troops. When we do this, go all the way, no stopping like in Iraq.
Agree or disagree with me, so be it.

Dear Rolf,
I just wanted to thank you for all of your support. Hearing that you are showing our flag and praying for us makes me cry. They are actually telling people to not watch the news constantly because it could be very bad for you, but what can you do but watch and pray and feel this overwhelming sadness.
I am not afraid because of this tragedy, I am angry. I feel nothing but hatred toward these terrorists and the countries that back them. I am so very thankful for all of you who are feeling what we feel, for this affects not only the United States, it affects everyone.
God Bless Us All.
