As part of the ongoing investigation into terrorists involved with the World Trade Center attacks in New York, federal agents are attempting to determine links between California inmates and the hijackers. FBI agents are workjng to determine if an inmate at Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in the South Bay is the brother of one of the World Trade Center terrorists, The San Diego Union-Tribune reported. Agents were looking into whether prison inmate Sascha Atta is the brother of Mohammed Atta, who has been named as one of the hijackers aboard American Airlines Flight 11 which crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center. Sascha Atta was sentenced last June to five years in prison on charges of insurance fraud related to an auto repair shop he owns in La Mesa. Margot Bach of the Department of Corrections told the Union-Tribune that FBI agents informed prison officials that they believed Sascha and Mohammed Atta are brothers. Bach said that Sascha Atta had been separated from other prisoners for his protection after the deadly attacks last week and that FBI agents planned to interview him. |
