Zacharias Musawi's Early Arrest
- Zacharias Musawi was arrested in Minneapolis in August 2001 for suspicious flight training requests.
- His case sparked the early hunt for a potential 20th hijacker before 9/11 occurred.
More Than One Missing Hijacker
- Musawi was labeled the 20th hijacker but was later considered more a co-conspirator.
- FBI agents believe there were several other would-be hijackers beyond the official 19.
Shift from Crime to War on Terror
- Before 9/11, the FBI treated terrorism primarily as a crime.
- Post-9/11, officials shifted to viewing terrorists as enemy combatants, changing interrogation and legal approaches drastically.
