| Most 9-11 thugs didn't know it was a one-way trip |

October 9, 2001 -- About a dozen of the 19 hijackers involved in the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon may not have known they were part of a suicide mission, The Post has learned. After nearly a month of tracking the hijackers around the world, the FBI has uncovered hard evidence that only about six of the terrorists - all with pilot training - left behind hard clues suggesting knowledge of their imminent death. The evidence was gleaned from documents left by the hijackers and from interviews conducted with relatives and friends, who recalled the terrorists ominously indicating they were on a mission and would never be heard from again. "These pilots leave behind letters or tell their family that, for all intents and purposes, they are going to die, to meet Allah," one well-placed source said. "The others did not tell family they would die, at least there is no evidence so far." |
