Besides massive short-selling of airlines and insurance stocks, Welteke said "there was a fundamentally inexplicable rise" in world oil prices just before the attacks that suggest certain groups or people were buying oil contracts that were then sold for a much higher price.

German regulators said they were paying particularly close attention to "suspect movements" in the stock of Munich Re, Europe's second-biggest reinsurance company, which estimates its losses from death and destruction at the World Trade Center will exceed $2 billion. In the four days before the attacks, the stock lost 13 percent of its value.

This Der Spiegel article claims that, in the two weeks before Sept. 11, there was 20 times the normal activity for put options for American Airlines.
