15MAR02 3 When Saudi businessman Mohammed Alshehri opened the local newspaper
a week after the September 11 attacks; he was astonished to see two of his
sons listed among the 19 suspected hijackers. "It was a huge shock for me,
for their mother, and for all their brothers and sisters," he said. Alshehri read
that the U.S. authorities believed his sons, Wail, 25 and Waleed 21, were
among the hijackers who crashed American Airlines Flight 11 into the north
tower of the World Trade Center. Although the two boys had disappeared
months earlier without a word to their family, Alshehri could not believe
they were among the hijackers. He had never heard them talk of Osama bin
Laden or fighting a holy jihad against the U.S., he told ABC News' Barbara
Walters in his first interview since the attacks. Alshehri also said he has yet
to see any hard evidence that his sons were involved. "Even if they were on
board that plane, maybe they were just passengers, " he said. Alshehri, a
prosperous real estate developer who donated a mosque to the local town,
Khamis Mushayt, has a total of 14 sons and 6 daughters, born to 4 wives. He
said that Wail, an arts teacher, became depressed and went to the holy city of
Medina in December 2000 with his brother to consult a religious teacher.
When they came back, said another brother, Saleh, Wail and Waleed did not
seem to be any more religious than before, though Wail told the family that
seeing the religious teacher had lifted his depression. "They were very
normal until the last time I saw them," said their father. Then the 2 brothers
disappeared again, and the family did not hear from them until early 2001.
"They refused to tell their mother where they were, " Alshehri said. "All
they said to her was, 'We're on our way back home.'" The phone call was
the last time the family heard of the 2 boys until they saw their photographs
in the newspaper in September. U.S. investigators believe the brothers left
Saudi Arabia and became involved with Osama bin Laden's terrorist
organization, al Qaeda, putting in stints at training camps in Afghanistan.
Then, U.S. authorities say, they spent last summer in Florida, and c ne up to
Boston, wheiv, they boarded r light 11 on the morning of September 1, Wail
in seat 2A, Waleed in 2B. Along with the other suspected hijackers, the 2
are named as unindicted coconspirators in the first indictment handed down
in the case, against Zacarias Moussaoui. Alshehri said he had asked Saudi
authorities to show him evidence linking his sons to the attack, but said they
told him they did not have the evidence. He admitted, however, thai it was
conceivable his sons could have been led astray. "Considering their /oung
age, it is possible that they could be misled by some other people," he said.
"If that turns out to be true, then I will never, never accept it from them.. .I'll
never forgive them for that."
