Hijackers' cars found at Florida dealershipTAMARAC, Florida (CNN) -- Two cars belonging to September 11 hijackers and sold a week before the attacks have been found at a small used car dealership, law enforcement sources said Thursday.
The vehicles are now being searched by authorities as part of the investigation into the attacks. Marwan Al-Shehhi, 23, and Mohamed Atta, 33, sold the vehicles about a week before the deadly terrorist attacks that destroyed the World Trade Center and heavily damaged the Pentagon. Al-Shehhi was believed to have been at the controls of United Airlines Flight 175 when it struck the south tower of the World Trade Center; Atta is believed to have piloted American Airlines Flight 77 into the north tower. Law enforcement sources said the two cars were found at an unidentified car dealership in Tamarac, Florida, just northwest of Fort Lauderdale. One of the vehicles was described as a red Pontiac Grand Am; the sources did not say what kind of vehicle the other car was. The cars have been washed and waxed since they were sold to the dealership. |
