Hijacker Atta Still Connected to Group Linked to MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD -
In a three-month trip to his hometown of Cairo, Egypt, 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta demonstrates that he is still a member of an engineering syndicate linked to the Muslim Brotherhood (see 1990).
He takes the two Germans students he is traveling with, VOLKER HAUTH and RALPH BODENSTEIN, T THE SYNDICATE’s EATING CLUB. According to Hauth, Atta does nothing during the trip he knows about that suggests he is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, but the group’s influence on the club is obvious.

A former CIA officer who served undercover in Damascus, Syria, will later say,
“At every stage in Atta’s journey is the Muslim Brotherhood.” [New Yorker, 7/18/2003]
Reminds me of Obama’s Pakistan journey with his Muslim college friends. It fits, all their parents are rich. Yes, Obama came from a privileged private school background. His mother made good money and his grandmother was VP of a bank. Name of the bank? Islamic banking rules? Microfinance?
