Investigative Reports - A&E

He was the quiet son of an Egyptian lawyer, a seemingly moderate Muslim with a middle-class background. So why did he end up at the controls of the first jetliner to hit the World Trade Center on September 11? Filmed with the help of The New York Times, this edition of Investigative Reports takes a chilling look into the mind and motivations of Mohamed Atta. Interviews with those who knew Atta are featured, including his father, a former school friend, the chancellor of the university he attended in Germany, and flight instructors at the centers where he trained for his mission. Journalists, psychiatrists, and former FBI and CIA investigators also contribute to this exclusive profile of the September 11 ringleader. Distributed by A&E Television Networks.
