Clarence Prevost

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Clarence Prevost (b. 1938) is the flight instructor who grew suspicious of accused 9/11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui in 2001, prior to the 9/11 attacks.

[edit] Events

A former Captain for Northwest Airlines, Prevost was assigned to teach Moussaoui at the Pan American Flight Academy in Eagan, Minnesota, in August 2001 but immediately saw that Moussaoui did not have enough experience to hope to obtain a license to fly a jumbo jet. He soon grew suspicious of Moussaoui and reported him to the authorities.[1][2][3]

On January 24, 2008, Prevost received a $5 million reward for providing authorities with information that led to Moussaoui's arrest and conviction.[4]
