History

Hanjour was the fourth of seven children, born to a food-supply businessman in Ta'if, Saudi Arabia. During his youth he suggested he may drop out of school to become a flight attendant, although his brother Abulrahman discouraged this route, and tried to help him focus on his studies.[citation needed] Taif in 1970 Taif (Arabic: ‎ transliterated: ) is a city in the Mecca Province of Saudi Arabia at an elevation of 1700 metres on the slopes of the Al-Sarawat mountains. ...

Early 1990s

A young Hanjour

Hani Hanjour first visited the United States in 1990, when he came to visit a brother in Tucson.[1] Hanjour's brother Abulrahman arranged a Tucson, Arizona, apartment for Hanjour to live in, and helped him apply to an eight-week program to study English at the University of Arizona. Hanjour arrived back in Tucson on October 3, 1991, After completing the program, Hanjour remained in the United States another four weeks before he flew back to live with his family in Ta'if. Hanjour was the only hijacker to live in the United States prior to any intentions for a large-scale attack, and was not a part of the Hamburg cell in Germany. He spent the next five years there, helping the family manage a lemon and date farm. In 1996, he travelled briefly to Afghanistan to work with a relief agency.

In 1996, Hanjour decided to return to the United States, and again asked his brother for help. Abulrahman asked family friends, Susan and Adnan Khalil, if they would be willing to put up Hani as a favour to him. They agreed, although they had since moved from Tucson to Miramar, Florida. Hanjour obtained a visa in March 1996 and arrived in the United States on April 2, 1996.[2] He lived for a month in Miramar, where the Khalils provided accommodations for him.[3] After the attacks, the Khalils would recall that they had been struck by how unlike Abulrahman he was, devoutly religious, whereas his brother had been fond of parties and drinking.[citation needed] For other uses, see Miramar. ... is the 92nd day of the year (93rd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

In April 1996, Hanjour moved in with a host family in Oakland, California where he enrolled in intensive English studies at Holy Names College, and attended a single class at Sierra Academy of Aeronautics before withdrawing, citing financial worries about the $35,000 cost. Leaving Oakland in September and moving to Phoenix, Arizona, Hanjour paid $4,800 for lessons at CRM Flight Cockpit Resource Management in Scottsdale. He received poor marks from instructor Duncan Hastie, and left the school frustrated, compounded with the fact his recent Visa application had been denied. Oakland redirects here. ...

1998

Hanjour was still living with Bandar in January, and the two of them both took flying lessons at Arizona Aviation, where Hanjour eventually earned his commercial pilot rating.


After moving out of Bandar's place, Hanjour lived in several apartments in Tempe, Mesa and Phoenix, and enrolled in flight simulator classes at the Sawyer School of Aviation where he made only three or four visits. Interestingly Lotfi Raissi would begin taking lessons at the same school a month after Hanjour quit, part of what piqued the FBI's interest in Raissi.

In February, financial records showed that Hanjour had taken a trip to Las Vegas, Nevada. For further information, see Las Vegas metropolitan area and Las Vegas Strip. ...


An FBI informant named Aukai Collins claims he told the FBI about Hanjour's activities during 1998, giving them Hanjour's name and phone number, and warning them that more and more foreign-born Muslims seem to be taking flying lessons. The FBI admits it paid Collins to monitor the Islamic and Arab communities in Phoenix at the time, but denies Collins told them anything about Hanjour.[4][5][6] In August 1998, Hanjour requested to rent a small plane at Freeway Airport in Bowie, Maryland. However, after three practice flights with an overseer, it was decided that he was not capable enough to allow him to rent.[citation needed] This article does not cite any references or sources. ...

Hanjour gained his FAA commercial pilot certificate in April 1999, but was unable to get a job as a pilot after he returned to his native Saudi Arabia, and told his family he was heading to the United Arab Emirates to find work. He took an international flight out of New York on April 28, but it is not known where he went. Within two weeks however, bank withdrawals were again made in Arizona, indicating he had returned.

2000

In May 2000, a third person accompanied Salem al-Hazmi and al-Mihdhar to Sorbi's Flying Club where he waited on the ground as they took a flight lesson. It has been theorized this may have been Hanjour.


In September Hanjour again sent his $110 registration to Holy Names College in Oakland, California to continue his English studies. He also applied for another U.S. Student Visa. Although he was accepted, after the attacks, it would be reported that his Visa application was 'suspicious'. Granted a student visa (F-1) in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, September 2000, he failed to reveal that he had previously traveled to the U.S. He never turned up for classes, and when the school contacted its Saudi representative, he reported that he could not find Hanjour either.

Hanjour came back to San Diego in December 2000, frequently visiting Abdussattar Shaikh's house, which was shared with Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid Almihdhar. During this time Hanjour may have visited the San Diego Zoo in February, as a security guard recalls having to page his name to reclaim a lost briefcase containing cash and Arabic documents and later recognised his photograph.

Holy Names College ELS Language Center said Hanjour reached a level of proficiency sufficient to “survive very well in the English language”. However, in January 2001, Arizona JetTech flight school managers reported him to the FAA at least five times because his English was inadequate for the commercial pilot’s certificate he had already obtained. It took him five hours to complete an oral exam meant to last just two hours, said Peggy Chevrette. Hanjour failed UA English classes with a 0.26 GPA and a JetTech manager said “He could not fly at all.” His FAA certificate had became invalid late in 1999 when he failed to take a mandatory medical examination. In February, Hanjour began advanced simulator training.


On May 2, two new roommates joined them in Virginia: Moqed and Ahmed al-Ghamdi, both of whom had just flown in to the United States. This photograph of Ahmed al_Ghamdi was released by the FBI in the days following the attack. ...


In San Diego, Hanjour and al-Hazmi had met Eyad Alrababah, a Jordanian later charged with document fraud; they had told him that they were looking for an apartment to rent. Alrababah had initially tried finding an apartment for them in Paterson, New Jersey, but without success. He then suggested they all go together to look at apartments in Fairfield, Connecticut. On May 8, Alrababah, Hanjour, al-Hazmi, Moqed and al-Ghamdi traveled to Fairfield to look for housing. While there, they also called several local flight schools. They then travelled briefly to Paterson to look at that area as well. Rababah has contended that, after this trip, he never saw any of the men again.[7] Born in Jordan, Eyad Mustafa Alrababah was a Jordanian citizen arrested following the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attack. ... “Paterson” redirects here. ...

Sometime at the end of May 2001, Hanjour rented a one-bedroom apartment in Paterson, New Jersey. He lived there with at least one roommate and was visited by several other hijackers, including Mohamed Atta al Sayed. During his time in New Jersey, he and Al-Hazmi rented 3 different cars including a sedan in June that Hanjour cosigned with the alias "Hani Saleh Hassan". He later made his last phone call to his family back in Saudi Arabia, during which he claimed to be phoning from a payphone in the United Arab Emirates, where he was supposedly still working. “Paterson” redirects here. ...

Hanjour, along with at least five other future hijackers, is thought to have traveled to Las Vegas several times in the summer of 2001, where they reportedly drank alcohol, gambled, and practiced other forms of vice.[8]


On August 1, Hanjour and Almihdhar returned to Falls Church to obtain fraudulent documentation at a 7-11 store where an illegal side business operated for such a service. There they met Luis Martinez-Flores, himself also an illegal immigrant, who agreed to help them for a $100 fee. They drove together to a DMV office at a mall in nearby Springfield, Virginia, where Martinez-Flores gave them a false address in Falls Church to use, and signed legal forms attesting that they lived there. Hanjour and Almihdhar were then granted state identity cards. (Martinez-Flores was later sentenced to 21 months in prison for aiding them, and giving false testimony to police).[9] 7-Eleven is an international conglomerate which operates the largest chain of convenience stores in twenty countries including: the United States, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Japan, Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore. ...

On that same day, Hanjour was stopped by police for driving 55 mph in a 30 mph zone in Arlington, Virginia, for which he paid the $70 fine.

By an act of Congress July 9, 1846, the area south of the Potomac was returned to Virginia effective in 1847 As of 2000...

Moqed and Hanjour

Employees at Advance Travel Service in Totowa, New Jersey later claimed that Moqed and Hanjour had both purchased tickets there. They claimed that Hanjour spoke very little English, and Moqed did most of the speaking. Hanjour requested a seat in the front row of the airplane. Their credit card failed to authorize, and after being told the agency didn't accept personal checks, the pair left to withdraw cash. They returned shortly afterwards and paid the $1842.25 total in cash.[2] This claim is in contradiction to other claims that Hanjour never had a ticket for the flight at all.

Hanjour began making cross-country flights in August to test security, and tried to rent a small Cessna 172 plane from Freeway Airport in Maryland, though he was declined after exhibiting poor flying skills.[citation needed] He moved out of his New Jersey apartment on September 1, and was photographed four days later using an ATM with fellow hijacker Majed Moqed in Laurel, Maryland, where all five Flight 77 hijackers had purchased a 1-week membership in a local Gold's Gym, there Hanjour claimed that his first name translated as warrior when a gym employee asked if there was an English translation of their Arabic names.

The attack

Dulles International Airport security checkpoint footage
Right foreground: possibly the real Hanjour

On September 11, 2001, Hani Hanjour boarded American Airlines Flight 77 at 7:50am. Some earlier reports stated he may not have had a ticket or appeared on any manifest,[10] however he is listed on the flight manifest as 1B [11][12] and reported to have bought a single, first-class ticket from Advance Travel Service in Totowa, N.J. In the security tape footage released in 2004, Hanjour appears to walk through the metal detector without setting it off, the only hijacker to do so. There is a controversy over whether or not the security tapes indeed show him, since the man claimed to be him seems significantly heavier than Hanjour, has kept his beard (which the hijackers all reportedly shaved off the night before), and has a different style of hair. However, in another report from NBC, a different person is identified and shown as Hanjour who does seem to match his profile. The Moussaoui trial also showed footage, identifying Hanjour as wearing the white shirt matching the same person as in the NBC report. Image File history File links HaniHanjourSecTape. ...

The plane was hijacked, and Hanjour was given the controls to pilot the plane into the Pentagon at 9:37 A.M. Hanjour obtained a commercial pilot's certificate in 1999 and according to the chief instructor, "Despite Hanjour's poor reviews, he did have some ability as a pilot." and "There's no doubt in my mind that once that (hijacked jet) got going, he could have pointed that plane at a building and hit it," he said.[citation needed]


In the initial report given by the FBI on September 14, 2001 the names of the hijackers were released for the first time; Hanjour was not originally listed as a suspect, but "Mosear Caned" instead. The FBI later corrected the list.

washingtonpost.com: Mysterious Trip to Flight 77 Cockpit (3047 words)
Hanjour's abrupt transformation in the early 1990s is one of many tantalizing, if inconclusive, clues that only hint at why a decade later, authorities believe, Hanjour was in the cockpit when American Airlines Flight 77 struck the Pentagon, killing 184 victims.
Hanjour, who was 29 when he died, spent tens of thousands of dollars on pilot training but is not known to have held a job.
Hanjour, in fact, had piled up hundreds of hours of pilot training, but months before the attacks had failed to earn a rating to fly a Boeing 737 (the hijacked plane was a 757).

Hanjour first arrived in the United States years before the others, and was one of just two suspected hijackers who held a student visa.
Hani Hanjour stayed with Susan and Adnan Khalil for about a month during the spring of 1996 before beginning a series of unsuccessful stints at flight schools out west.
