They still want to use airplanes
The FBI has issued an alert for a Briton who attended a flight school here under very suspicious circumstances.
The same flight school as the 9/11 hijackers? Either these guys are incredibly stupid, or they think that we are incredibly stupid. It is a little hard to know which. In any case, these guys never work alone. I hope we are combing the flight schools for his compadres.
An anti-terrorism task force headed by the FBI has issued a special alert bulletin concerning a man who authorities said took flight lessons while in the United States illegally.
The man, Zayed Christopher Hajaig, has been located in the United Kingdom, said Steve Emmett, a special agent with the FBI in Atlanta....
The Atlanta Joint Terrorism Task Force and U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement said Hajaig was in the United States illegally. He had no means of income, used calling cards to communicate with associates and fled to Britain possibly when he was alerted to the task force's interest in him, Emmett said.
Two of the hijackers involved in the 9/11 attacks trained for a time at the same airport where Hajaig took lessons -- Gwinnett County Airport-Briscoe Field, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but it seems like this indicates that Al Qaeda et. al. are running out of ideas. Maybe 9/11 was their one flash of brilliance.

What evidence is there that this fellow has any ties with Al Qaeda whatsoever?
