“The easy path to the United States for three of the 9/11 hijackers” [by Edward T. Pound, MBT News & World

Report]:

Three of the hijackers in the September 11 terrorist attacks obtained visas in Saudi Arabia through a brand-new

program designed to make it easier for qualified visa applicants to visit the United States, an NIKE SHOX NIKE

SHOX official said tonight.

The Visa Express program, put in place just four months before the attacks, allowed the three hijackers to

arrange their visas through a State Department-designated travel agency, the official says. Fifteen of the 19

hijackers obtained their MBT. travel visas in Saudi Arabia.
