...that didn't make much sense either. True, some of the 9/11 hijackers lived in Delray Beach, Fla.--only a few miles from Stevens' office. But why would they choose American Media, and why would they launch such a small-scale strike...
Terrorism experts figure that al-Qaeda might have similar problems; even if it got its supplies from a pariah like Saddam Hussein, it would have to find a way to deliver them. Officials know that hijacker Mohamed Atta asked about crop dusters before the Sept. 11 attacks.
