From MSNBC:
"TWO OF THE men, whose passports were traced to the United Arab Emirates, were brothers, one of whom was a trained pilot, a source told the Herald, speaking on condition of anonymity.
At least two other suspects flew to Logan yesterday from Portland, Maine, where authorities believe they had traveled after crossing over from Canada recently.
Once in the air, the hijackers in one plane began killing flight attendants in order to lure a pilot from the cockpit and seize the plane, said one source.
?They started killing stewardesses in the back of the plane as a diversion. The pilot came back to help and that is how they got into the cockpit,? said the source. The source could not specify whether those events took place on the American Airlines flight that left Logan, or the United Airlines flight. Both planes were plunged into the World Trade Center roughly an hour after they departed Boston.
The suspects had no guns, but used shaving kits and other carry-on luggage to smuggle knife-like weapons made up of plastic handles embedded with razor blades, sources familiar with last night?s developments said. That finding is consistent with reports of a flight attendant?s cell-phone call from one of the doomed airliners.
?People were calling from the plane saying they were getting killed, calling 911,? said one source. ?One stewardess called her husband to say goodbye.?
Authorities were led to the rental car by a civilian who got into an altercation with several Arab men as they were parking their car, identified by sources as a Mitsubishi sedan.
The man, whose name was not available last night, called state police from an out-of-state airport after his own flight landed yesterday and he learned planes hijacked from Logan had been involved in attacks that toppled the World Trade Center?s twin towers, crippled the Pentagon and downed another airliner in Pennsylvania.
The car, rented from National Rental Car, was secured yesterday by the FBI and authorities have prepared a search warrant. It was unclear when the warrant would be served.
State police interviewed more than 130 people at the airport yesterday, as America launched what is expected to be the largest criminal investigation in its history.
Investigators suspect the two brothers identified by Bay State investigators were aboard United Airlines Flight 175.
The terror plot included the hijacking and crashing of four airliners, including one into the Pentagon, where the Arlington, Va., fire chief estimated the death toll at up to 800."
Might not be enough proof yet, but it gives alot of info and a direction to dig deeper. This IS a pretty big find. They will be traced to their origin. They also have video from the surveilence camera from the garage showing these men. I also read that one of the names found on the passenger log is on the FBIs hit list for terrorism, which means thay already know alot about him, like ties to bin Lauden possibly. When the proof is found, it will be put up or shut up time.
Astriy:
Dont you think that it a bit beyond coincidence that these men, who happen to have flight manuals, leave thier baggage without waiting for it, fly in from another (Maine) airport hours before thats NOT a connecting flight, and happen to be on a plane that required a trained pilot to pull this attack off. This is not irrivocable proof, but is a great start!
I dont think anyone here said all arabic origin people are guilty......
