Did Ziad Jarrah Really Know How To Program a 757's Autopilot?
From the 9/11 Commission Report:

http://www.9-11commission.gov/report/911Report_Ch1.htm

At 9:32, a hijacker, probably Jarrah, made or attempted to make the following announcement to the passengers of Flight 93:"Ladies and Gentlemen: Here the captain, please sit down keep remaining sitting. We have a bomb on board. So, sit." The flight data recorder (also recovered) indicates that Jarrah then instructed the plane's autopilot to turn the aircraft around and head east.

1. It's doubtful. There have been a number of posts here suggesting that

the flight 93 hijacking was faked-- for instance, right before flight 93 crashed, it filed a new flight plan for Washington DC. Did Jarrah do that as well? It seems doubtful that he would have known how to do that as well.

Also, Jarrah's bomb comment was almost certainly fake, as it was inserted perfectly between other radio transmissions--meaning he wanted it to be heard. If it was really a mistake that he was talking on he radio, more likely his comment would have overlapped with other radio transmissions.

2. UAE officials claim Jarrah allowed in U.S. even though CIA knew of terrori
st trainin in Afghanistan

According to UAE officials, Ziad Jarrah, alleged hijacker pilot of UA93, was questioned by the CIA on Jan 30, 2001 in the United Arab Emirates because he had spent 3 weeks in Afghanistan at an al-Qaeda training camp and was a suspected terrorist. This was after he had received flight training in the U.S. But his passport was not revoked and he was allowed entry into the U.S. again. He was also stopped by law enforcement officials for a traffic ticket, but was inexplicably not on the watch list. The CIA denies that they enterviewed Jarrah in January 2001. http://thewebfairy.com/killtown/flight93.html
