Mohamed Atta was a busy man prior to the Sept. 11 terror attacks, checking out flight schools in Oklahoma and Florida, meeting Islamic extremists in Spain, inquiring about crop dusters in Florida, conferring with an Iraqi intelligence agent, skipping a traffic court date.

Mohamed Atta is one of two men who came to Florida for flight training school a year ago who emerged as suspects last week in the FBI investigation into the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington.

Atta, 33, is believed by authorities to have been at the controls of the plane that slammed into the World Trade Center's north tower.

FBI agents visited a Norman, Okla., flight school seeking information on Zacarias Moussaoui, the French-Moroccan arrested in August after seeking flight training in Minnesota. Moussaoui trained at Airman Flight School in Norman from Feb. 26 to May 29, but left before earning a license. Zacarias is the one who had a crop-duster manual among his possessions. Hussein Al-Attas, who knew Moussaoui in Norman, has also been detained.
