Current Affairs A Tale of Two 'Attas': How spurious Czech intelligence muddied the 9/11 probe
Following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, investigators laboured under the false belief that the suspected ringleader of the 9/11 hijacking, Mohamed Atta of Egypt, had twice travelled to Prague on urgent business in the spring of 2000, shortly before flying from the Czech capital to the United States to join up with his terrorist cell. In fact, two "Mohamed Attas" visited Prague within a few days of each other.
