Massachusetts Authorities Identify Five Arab Men as Suspects

HeadlineSep 12, 2001

Authorities in Massachusetts have identified five Arab men as suspects in yesterday’s attack on New York City and have seized a rental car containing Arabic-language flight training manuals at Logan International Airport, this according to a source being quoted by the Boston Herald newspaper. Two of the men were brothers whose passports were traced to the United Arab Emirates, this according to an unidentified source. One of the men was a trained pilot. The paper said investigators suspect the two brothers were aboard hijacked United Airlines Flight 175, which pilot union officials said was one of the aircraft that crashed into the World Trade Center. Now, again, have to warn all of our listeners as these kinds of unidentified reports come out that we have to remember what happened after the Oklahoma City bombing, when report after report came out of Arab people somewhere bearing responsibility. In the end, that was not the case.
