Ziad Jarrah,Mohammed Atta,& Marwan Alshehhi stayed in Jacksonville.

Channel 12 has done a great job of investigative reporting with this. Sen Nelson says that the 9/11 commission knew nothing of this. You'll have to read the article, there is a video as well.

[tutstar]

Yikes! We have a large mosque here and I really hope the FBI is digging into 'who' these murders may have been in contact with while they were in town.

The fact that there have also been instance of men videotaping buildings downtown does not bode well. The Superbowl will be here in Jan. and they need to be on top of this stuff in a big way!!

[tutstar]

Floridians there are still reasons for us to be on the aware!

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

RED STATE! Bush's fault!

/sarcasm

[tioga]

My son will be at the Super Bowl in Jacksonville next year, I am praying already.

[tutstar]

WE get the double whammy "Bush's fault"!, since Jeb's our Gov!

[tutstar]

Wow! I know he must be excited about that! The video mentions the instances of the men videotaping buildings. That is recent news and something to be concerned about!!

[Mears]

But the entire thing was just a big conspiracy,probably not Islamic terrorists at all, according to reopen911.org-----(sarcasm off)!

[tutstar]

We have a big mosque here in Jax. Surely the terrorist didn't make any calls to anyone who attends there because Islam is a religion of peace.

[tioga]

Just watched the video. I thought I spotted the tallest building with the Executive Club in it. What a view from there and what a target for those nutcases in planes. Spotted the Jacksonville Landings as well.

My daughter just arrived in Jax today to visit her brother. I have lots of happy memories from visits there.

[TomGuy]

the 9/11 commission knew nothing of this

Jamie Gorelick did her job well---keeping any connections to the Clinton admin as minimal as possible.

[tutstar]

Yes you saw right. There are tall enough to be easy target. I'm more concerned about the game and a few other things.

We're having great weather right now!

[tutstar]

The libs are so quick to jump of Pres Bush but a lot of this goes much further back. Pres Bush has been outstanding. sen Nelson needs to be reminded that he said he wants to find answers why the 9/11 commission didn't know about this!

[tioga]

We had an inch of snow come down the other night here in NY, can't blame her for running off for a vacation to sunny Florida.

[tutstar]

oops ...meant to type libs are quick to get on Bush not 'of'

[tutstar]

I'm jealous. Haven't been in snow for a long time!! LOL

[Calusa]

The 9/11 terrorists were using the public access computers at a joint Community College/Broward County library near Pompano Beach to email each other.

[js1138]

A hotel log from the Ramada Inn off University Boulevard has one of the terrorists names on it, Ziad Jarrah.

This place is going to be a shrine to infamy. It's about three miles from my house, and has other crime connections.

[tutstar]

Yep, they thought things out so as not to leave many tracks to follow. I hope the feds don't quit following the tracks they do have.

[Calusa]

Leading up to 9/11/01 there was a very well organized theft ring stealing up to 80 video projectors throughout the Florida Community College Risk Consortium. None was ever recovered no one was ever caught. The thefts stopped in the Fall Semester of 2001. Coincidence or Financing?

[tutstar]

Wow. Guess we need to avoid that place!

[tutstar]

Video projectors? You're thinking they used them to show their surveillance videos to their terror groups?

[js1138]

I have a nephew, an attorney, who paid for his house with the proceed from a lawsuit in the Butler murder case. The police ignored obvious evidence, such as fingerprints of a known felon, and framed a 16 year old boy.

The documentary movie won an Academy award. It reads like To Kill a Mockingbird, but all the people are real, not actors.

[Shermy]

Interesting, though nothing mentioned about the first week of April 2001.

[tutstar]

I try not to watch any network shows except football! I'm sure we have more corruption if it could only be exposed.

[floriduh voter]

If I see anybody, I'll call LE.

[VOA]

bump

[pitinkie]

Yes also reported suspicious middle easterners taping the bridges too!

[pitinkie]

We won the lottery for season ticket holders and have 2 tickets! Be there too!

[fso301]

The was just an FR thread that just came up indicating one of mohammed atta's pals was picked up by feds in South Florida as he prepared to board an Amtrak train for Palatka.

Unfortunately, I can't find that thread. It just came by 30 minutes ago.

[NautiNurse]

Disturbing story--particularly that the lame 9-11 Commission did not mention any of this info.

Stay alert--and stay safe!

[pt17]

Bump for follow-up

[Chieftain]

The price of FREEDOM is VIGILIANCE!

Keep your eyes peeled, Jacksonville!

[mwyounce]

I remember hearing stories that Atta had flown into Glynco Jetport (Brunswick, Georgia), from Florida a few months after 9/11... it was front-page news in the Brunswick paper. It seems that WTLV's reporters are a little slow...

[Lion in Winter]

Some people I know live in that city. I visited Jacksonville with my daughter and son-in law, over a year ago.

There is nice Middle Eastern restuarant named "Hala" on University Blvd. It had a neat little shop attached with all sorts of Middle Easter foods and things... like prayer rugs and videos.

The company that has a bakery too. And, they have a chain of those types of restaurants in the city.

My late wife's friend in Jacksonville is married to an Arab Christian and that is their favorite place to take guests.

The company according to our friend, is owned by Christian Palestinians.

I wonder if atta and his partner in crime were ever in that place since it is on University Blvd. too?

[Peach]

Memo to 9/11 Commission: There's a LOT you either didn't know or didn't investigate or didn't report.

Most of us don't take their work as a definitive answer to anything.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

Hala's has very good food...I may go there for lunch tomorrow. Haven't been in quite some time.

[freakboy]

But I thought the 911 commision's words were gospel. How could they miss something like this? /sarcasm

[yooper]

"The fact that there have also been instance of men videotaping buildings downtown does not bode well. The Superbowl will be here in Jan. and they need to be on top of this stuff in a big way!!"

This could explain the Viking's last two losses!

[yooper]

"A hotel log from the Ramada Inn off University Boulevard has one of the terrorists names on it, Ziad Jarrah."

They probably thought it was the "Ramadan Inn."

[solsrchr2]

Jacksonville resident here, will keep a look out for Muslims acting suspiciously. Repeat Muslims acting suspiciously! Not Muslims in general. So if you're a Muslim don't act suspicious and start denouncing Terrorism.

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

Whoa! I'm headed to Jacksonville tomorrow for the Jags/Lions game. I'll keep my eyes peeled.

[TongRat]

Howdy y'all,

I've got a brother in Jax and after reading in another post,that Al-Queda is claiming to have a nuke and that the Super Bowl is going to be hosted there,and given the proximity of the Mayport Naval Base-I'm a bit worried..am I just being paranoid ?

Surely,our guys will be on the look-out for any signs of radioactive emmissions..won't they ?

[tutstar]

They probably thought it was the "Ramadan Inn."

ROFL That's a good one!!

[tutstar]

You're right! We must keep our eyes peeled for 'suspicious' activity.

[tutstar]

Enjoy the game! Weather will be great! As always we must be aware that life is not the same as it used to be.

[tutstar]

I don't think you're being paranoid! If you are then so am I! The Super Bowl would not be the only concern IMO.

[tutstar]

AMEN!

[tutstar]

My memory isn't so great sometimes 8^), what's significant about April 2001? Thanks

[tutstar]

The fact these terrorists are in Jacksonville has just recently come to light. And as you can see the FBI isn't commenting.
