Where is the PENTTBOM report? Where is the PENTTBOM summary report referenced in the 9/11 Comission report? I cannot find either online. The FBI.gov site contains very little of interest related to PENTTBOM.

[edit] passport contradiction

Hello, we have a contradictory statement in the text:

The passport of hijacker Satam Al Suqami was found a few blocks from the World Trade Center.[1] [2] Rescue workers sifting through the tons of rubble discovered the passport, belonging to one of the suspected hijackers, a few blocks from where the World Trade Center's twin towers once stood;[3] a passerby picked it up and gave it to a NYPD detective shortly before the World Trade Center towers collapsed.[4]

The passport cannot have been found both before and after the towers collapsed. The rubble version is from the BBC and does not specify whose passport was found. The passerby version is in the commission hearings report and specfically identifies Satam al Suqami. I will remove the BBC's version of events in due course. - Crosbiesmith (talk) 23:41, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Crosbiesmith also took the opportunity to remove the link to Bomb and to Investigation in ::Its name stands for 'Pentagon/Twin Towers Bombing Investigation'.:
I'm putting them back, since there was no consensus to remove them. Wikilinks are good. The (Bomb) article makes clear that 'bomb' could mean anything, even an airplane, used as an explosive device. It looks bad to have a link to part of the name and not the rest. User:Pedant (talk) 18:34, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
I also don't agree with removing the BBC account of the passport story. BBC is a reliable source, note the apparent conflict between the sources, don't delete it. It's information, it's sourced, it should stay. Apparently the BBC report doesn't say anything we don't already have, and is a sloppy report besides. I concur with removing the BBC passport material.
