We're trying to contact his girlfriend in Germany. No response."

Q: "In which state was he?"

STORYLINE
The Lebanese family of a man apparently named as one of the suspected hijackers behind the attacks in New York and Washington expressed disbelief on Saturday, saying if their relative, Ziad Jarrah, was indeed on one of the four doomed flights he would have been an innocent passenger, not a terrorist.

US reports said that one of the men who helped commandeer four planes used in Tuesday's attacks was named Ziad Jarrahi and that US aviation authorities listed a Ziad Jarrah as holding a pilot's license.

According to US law enforcement officials, a suspected hijacker named Ziad Jarrahi was on United Flight 93 which flew out of Newark, New Jersey, and crashed in a field 80 miles (120 kilometres) from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday.

The difference in spellings of the last name - Jarrah and Jarrahi - could not be immediately reconciled.

Differences in transliterations of Arabic names to English are common.

Earlier, an official Lebanese statement issued in Beirut quoted a security source as saying that Ziad Samir Jarrah, 26, had been living in Hamburg, Germany, for the last four years and studying flight engineering.

The Lebanese statement did not refer to the US attacks nor did it say explicitly why the unusual statement was made but it appeared to be in response to the US reports.

The Lebanese statement also referred to a crackdown nearly two years ago on a Lebanese group linked to exiled Saudi dissident, Osama bin Laden, whom US officials have said may have been the mastermind behind Tuesday's attacks.

The Lebanese statement said authorities had found no links between that group or any militant groups and the Jarrah family.

In a separate statement, the government which has repeatedly condemned the attacks said, "Lebanon prefers to await the results of investigations and not to jump into any early conclusions."

At the Jarrah family home in the village of Al-Marj, 50 kilometres (30 miles) east of Beirut in the eastern Bekaa Valley, Ziad Jarrah was described as a secular-minded student who had a girlfriend and drank alcohol.

"What we know is that he was studying flight engineering... we didn't have any information that he was studying to fly," said his uncle, Jamal Jarrah.
He went on to say that Ziad Jarrah had telephoned his father from the Miami, Florida, area of the United States two days before the attacks to thank him for a bank transfer to pay for his tuition.

They haven't heard from him since Tuesday's attacks and have been unable to contact him by telephone.

I saw the crash field in Shanksville, PA 9/11 looked like a plane crash, then again I don't have a bad case of paranoia.

[IranContraScumDid911]

@Gemini You are a liar, I have hunderds of videos that say you are lying. The last commenter on my videos says he was right there when the engine fell out of the air. There is a pattern with you sad trolls. The laws of motion clearly say there could not even have possibly been a plane crash there, the crater is too small for the plane and especially too small for the energy conversion. You have a bad case of stupid, and a fond love for cavemen lies used to rip you off. Sucker born every minute

[gopats10casper]

Fake. This douche from Youtube didn't want us to know what he was actually saying thats why theirs no subtitles, seriously people think about this before you start believing this idiot.

[IranContraScumDid911]

@gopats10casper The translation is in the description. I dont expect you to believe anything, thats your choice.

[squidgymallow]

why are people so determined to believe it is an orchestrated event by american government, thousands did die. and countless thousand are grieving for them.These hijackers were photographed getting on the planes. Why are you choosing to believe muslim extremists unless your a sympathiser.They must be delighted that they have supporters from all walks they will relish all these conspiracy theories as it gives their "cause" power to keep it alive.

[IranContraScumDid911]

@squidgymallow Nobody believes Muslim anything, especially the global caveman spy conspiracy theory. YOU give their cause power, they would not exist without you. Your fear is the fuel for global socialism.

[GeminiSon]

@IranContraScumDid911 Flight manifest, diuh.

[GeminiSon]

@IranContraScumDid911 1st. What's wrong with socialism 2nd. You sound paranoid.

3rd. You sound stupid saying Global Cavemen Spy Conspiracy Theory. 4th. Have you got life insurance, because I think you have an extreme case of schizophrenic paranoia.

[BMXrider750]

@1980kyboy Shut up

[1980kyboy]

@squidgymallow i fought these evil bastards and i tell u what. id rather see these american liberal bitches who have NO RESPECT for anyone who was slaughtered! all they wanna is run that cocksucker like michael moore an his fellow homos! i bet if he saw his mother with her hair on fire jumpin outta the fuckin 102nd floor of the wtc hed be singin a different tune

[islamshah13]

This FOREVER complining insane Arabian group of anti-semites or whatever stated plane hijacking in 20th century for nothing!

[abcdef52542]

@squidgymallow Actually, you're wrong. The hijackers are shown in Portland going through security. There is no physical evidence, video or manifest, showing that those hijackers were on the plane. Your gov't murdered 3000 people to go steal oil. Jet fuel cannot melt steel or burn at those temperatures for that long. How is nano-thermite found in the dust and rubble when it's not a naturally occurring substance. Terrorism is fake, just as Hitler's "communist terrorists" were fake as well.
