As big as the timeline is, it continues to rapidly grow. The 9/11 story is
incredibly complicated, and I don’t plan to stop until every last fact has been
tracked down. I have the problem now of having too many new articles to absorb
them all. If anyone would like to help me digest some of this material so more
entries can be completed faster, please let me know (paulthompson22b@ yahoo.com).
I’ll send you some articles to read and summarize. This will be most appreciated,
and properly credited.
Also, I have an ever growing mountain of articles lacking external links. If
someone is good at finding articles, I can send you plenty to find.
NEWSPAPER ARTICLES NEEDING TRANSLATION
RUSSIAN:
These Pravda articles look extremely fascinating, but they need to be found
first and then translated from Russian. There are many references to them on
the web, but the Pravda English archives don’t have them.

MISSING PHOTOS
Any help in finding any of the below is most appreciated. My biggest interest
right now is finding out more about the alternate identities of the 9/11 hijackers.
For instance, the Telegraph said:
“The FBI had published [Saeed Alghamdi’s] personal details but with a
photograph of somebody else, presumably a hijacker who had “stolen” his identity. CNN, however, showed a picture of the real Mr. Alghamdi.” [Telegraph,
9/23/01] Another Saudi pilot, Said Hussein al-Ghamdi, whose photograph was
broadcast on CNN when it portrayed him as a hijacker, is living in Tunis. [London
Times, 9/20/01]
Does anyone have the CNN picture? I can’t find it. I’d like to find other pictures
of the hijackers that don’t appear to be the same as their official FBI photos.
See the article on Ziad Jarrah for some examples of
these alternate pictures depicting other people that I’ve found. I’ve come across
mentions of pictures in newspaper articles in the Middle East and Africa. If
anyone has the texts or pictures from articles like this, I’d appreciate it.
Most of the articles I’m speaking of would be in Arabic I assume, so translation
would be key as well. Here are two specifically I’m very keen on finding.

VIDEO FOOTAGE
I’d love to link to short video clips or get transcripts to these programs.

Subject: in an interview, Russian President Vladimir Putin says he “I ordered
my intelligence to warn President Bush in the strongest terms that 25 terrorists
were getting ready to attack the US, including important government buildings
like the Pentagon.”
The Independent [Independent,
8/13/02] reported: “there was one brief report on CBS television before the crash that two
F-16 fighters were tailing Flight 93.”
Does anyone have that?
A recent Al-Jazeera video featuring interviews with Khalid Shaikh Mohammed
and Ramzi Binalshibh has made a lot of news lately. Does anyone have a copy of
this video and/or a transcript? HIGH PRIORITY!
Also, in April 2001 Al-Jazeera aired a tape that included a farewell message
from hijacker Ahmed Alhaznawi
An excerpt is available with “realpass” at: http://www.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/meast/04/15/terror.tape/
but I don’t have the pass.
