- Sheikh Usama bin Laden
"When layers of darkness cover the horizon and we are bitten by the sharpest of fangs and our homes overflow with blood. As the aggressor continues his destruction, and the glint of swords and the sound of hooves have disappeared from the battlefields and our cries our drowned out by the noise of strings and percussion, suddenly, their storms arise to demolish their fortresses and proclaim to them, we shall not stop our raids until you abandon our lands."
"When we speak about the attacks on New York and Washington, we are speaking about those men who changed the course of history and purified the Ummah from the filth of the treacherous rulers and their followeers, without bothering to mention their names and titles. We are speaking about men who I don't say merely demolished the Twin Towers and the Pentagon, which is simple enough, but rather, they destroyed the idol of the times and destroyed its values. The Pharoah of the century has emerged in his ugly true colours, and there is no difference between him and the Pharoah of Egypt except additional unbelief and falsehood. Here he is, murdering our children in Palestine, Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Kashmir and other Islamic lands. These great men have consolidated faith in the hearts of the believers, emphasized the creed of allegiance [to the believers] and disassociation [from unbelievers], and torpedoed the plots of the Crusaders and their puppet rulers in the region after decades of ideological warfare designed to dilute this doctrine. The context does not permit us to remember these men as they deserve to be remembered, the pen is unable to enumerate their merits and good qualities nor the merits of the effects of their blessed raids, except that we shall try, for even if something is unattainable in full, its substance should not be abandoned."

The city scientist who led the effort to identify 9/11 victims said officials made sure to keep the remains of the three terrorists identified away from those of the innocents killed.
The remains of the killers were removed from the medical examiner's makeshift memorial park on the East Side and "put in another place," Robert Shaler, former head of the medical examiner's forensic unit, told the Daily News.
In "Who They Were," his new inside account of the identification effort, Shaler writes that he believes the terrorists identified were in the back of the planes - and not the monsters who plowed the jets into the towers.
"I still doubt the pilots have anything remaining to collect or analyze," he writes. "Likely, they were vaporized along with many of the innocent victims."
Shaler recounts with fresh detail the scientific challenge and personal anguish that marked the more than three years it took to process the bodies and 20,000 body parts recovered from Ground Zero.
Though the remains of 1,594 of the 2,749 WTC victims have so far been identified by name, Shaler makes clear the terrorists were a case apart.
To begin with, Shaler's office could not identify the three by name. That's because the 10 DNA profiles used to make the first matches were supplied by the FBI without names attached.
"No names, just a K code, which is how the FBI designates 'knowns,' or specimens it knows the origins of," Shaler wrote. "Of course, we had no direct knowledge of how the FBI obtained the terrorists' DNA."
Forensic experts in New York say they have identified body parts of two of the 10 hijackers who flew planes into the World Trade Center on 11 September 2001.
Ellen Borakove, a spokeswoman for the New York Medical Examiner's Office, said the identifications had been made using DNA samples provided by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
The FBI had collected the DNA from tiny traces of skin on the steering wheels of vehicles hired by the hijackers and from hair samples recovered from their hotel rooms.
Earlier this month, the FBI provided profiles of all 10 hijackers, including alleged ringleader Mohammad Atta, so their remains could be separated from those of victims.
"No names were attached to those profiles. We matched them, and we have matched two of those profiles to remains that we have," Ms Borakove said.
"We haven't finished our work, so it may be more," she added
"Families of the airplanes' passengers and crews and those who died within the Pentagon provided DNA samples, typically on toothbrushes or hairbrushes, to aid with identification. The remains that didn't match any of the samples were ruled to be the terrorists, said Chris Kelly, spokesman for the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, which did the DNA work. The nine sets of remains matched the number of hijackers believed to be on the two planes..."
Nuclear DNA testing (along with dental records and fingerprints) of the remains from the victims aboard American Airline (AA) Flight 77 and within the Pentagon was useful for identifying 178 of the 183 victims. Five missing individuals (four within the Pentagon and one aboard the airplane) could not be identified due to lack of biological material from the crash. Five remaining nuclear STR profiles were obtained from the crash site that did not match any references for the victims. These profiles were thought to represent the terrorists aboard the flight. The 40 victims aboard the United Airline (UA) Flight 93 that crashed near Shanksville, PA, were also identified by nuclear DNA testing, dental records, and fingerprinting. Four nonmatching nuclear DNA profiles were also obtained from the crash site and again tentatively ascribed to the terrorists.
The DNA results strengthened the hypothesis that two of the terrorists were brothers, as indicated by other
evidence. Two of the terrorist STR profiles aboard the AA Flight 77 gave a sibling index greater than 500. To further test the hypothesis of maternal relatedness, AFDIL sequenced the HVI and HVII regions of mtDNA for these individuals. The sequences generated did match in HVI and HVII, which is consistent with a maternal relationship between the two men.
Overall, our results were consistent with a Near Eastern origin of the mtDNA sequences from the putative terrorists. In this case, though, several large caveats must be applied. Firstly, only HVI sequences were used, so the resulting phylogenetic trees must be interpreted with caution as to reliability. Secondly, the relative frequencies of the ascribed haplogroups in the European versus Near Eastern databases, while suggestive, were far from conclusive. Lastly, this type of analysis can only provide information regarding the biogeographic ancestry of the mtDNA molecule itself. Because of the possibility of admixture, both recent and historical, the ancestral origin of the mtDNA that an individual inherited from his maternal ancestor may or may not relate to his actual population affiliation.

I don't know about the "ding dong" part now...
Just because something gets "officially" reported doesn't mean we need to believe it.
This classic, often asked question comes to mind, how come the DNA of hijackers -- soft organic biological tissue -- survived the 'plane crashes' but all the (metal) aircraft hardware was 'vaporized' upon impact? It doesn't matter which PhD's did the testing -- it's nonsense nonetheless.

Austrian officials said most of the 66 bodies so far recovered were so badly burned, the remains would require DNA testing and that it would take at least three days to get the results of each test.
The intensity of the fire left the bodies badly charred and even tattoos and scars could no longer be seen, chief forensic pathologist Edith Tutsch-Bauer said...
Bodies and remains were stuck among parts of the melted train, ski clothes, boots and other equipment. The floor of the train melted, in temperatures estimated at over 1,000 degrees centigrade.

Face the facts its been proven that you have no evidence to debate the data or prove all the hijackers are dead.
And you talking about a book just proves how much you and others lie when it comes to people who do not agree with you.
WHY MUST YOU LIE?

I'd ask you to back up ANY of your claims Wizard, but your track record speaks for itself:
- holograms
- space beams
- victims not really dead
shall I go on?

Holograms are a possibility but not a necessity.
And yes, the 9-11 flight passengers which weren't fictional or already deceased nursing home patients are most likely 'dancing the limbo' somewhere, living new lives in anonymity whilst laughing all the way to the bank.
