From brilliant student to depression to terrorist on September 11th: Who was Muhammad Atta?

Infrastructural damage is said to have gone to $10 billion. In addition, in the following months and years, many others died of cancer or respiratory problems.

One of the most famous terrorists of the attack was Mohammed Atta, an Egyptian aircraft hijacker who played one of the most important roles in these attacks.

Atta was born in 1968 in the small town of Nile Delta. By the age of 10, he and his family had moved to Cairo, where he studied architecture, graduating in 1990. He had continued his studies in Germany, more accurately at the University of Technology in Hamburg.

This had linked him to Al-Quds Mosque, where he met with other future terrorists, and with whom he formed the Hamburg cell.

During that time, he had disappeared on several occasions from Germany, spending some of his time in Afghanistan from late 1999 to early 2000, where he had met Osama bin Laden. He and the other members of Hamburg cell were recruited from bin Laden for “Operation of aircraft” in the United States.

He was asked to be trained as a pilot, and he had done so in the United States in June 2000 by receiving the necessary certificate in November of that year. In August 2001, they had traveled as passengers on many flights to detail the way they would make the attack at the Twin Towers.

He and another terrorist were on American Airlines Flight 11, who had been kidnapped only 15 minutes after flying, killing pilots. At 8:00 in the morning, they crashed Beoing 767 in the North Tower at the World Trade Center. As it collapsed in 102 minutes, at 10: 28 a.m., causing the deaths of 1600 civilians.

His father was a lawyer while his mother was also educated and came from a wealthy commercial family.

Atta was the only son of this couple, who have two daughters who are educated and have a successful career - one as a doctor and the other as a professor. At the university, he was among the most distinguished students.

His father, Mohammed-elmir, had flatly denied evidence that his son had been involved in the September 11 attacks, and for that he had accused Mossad and the American government. He had also denied media reports that his son drank uncared alcohol, describing him as uninvolved in politics, shameful and devoted to architectural study. At least, Mr. Atta said that she spoke to her son one day after September 11, September 12.

Speaking of the German warehouse Bild, he broadcasts Periscope, he said that his son was alive and that he was hiding out for his life and that American Christians were responsible for the attacks.

As far as motive is concerned, there are many different explanations. Political psychologist Jerrond Post said that Atta and other kidnappers had just followed Al-Qaeda orders, and charismatic leader bin Laden. But, Adam Lankford, a professor of criminal justice, has found evidence that Atta had suicidal thoughts and that she was in-or from social isolation, depression, guilt, shame and hopeless. /Periscope
