Terrorist

The Resume

    (May 16, 1975-September 11, 2001)
    Born in Mecca, Saudi Arabia
    One of the 19 hijackers of the 9/11 attacks
    Hijacked American Airlines Flight 77, which crashed into the Pentagon
    Served as a 'muscle' among the hijackers
    Also known as Sinaan
    Fought in Bosnian war on the Bosnian Muslim side (1995)
    Also fought in Afghanistan and, according to some unconfirmed sources, Chechnya
    Lived in San Diego with fellow hijacker and childhood friend Nawaf al-Hazmi (February-June 10, 2000)

Why he might be annoying:

    He and Nawaf spoke English poorly, so they didn't do well in flight lessons when they were trained to be pilots in San Diego.
    Their neighbors said that they slept on mattresses, yet were always on their phones, carrying briefcases, and playing flight simulator games, which they used to hijack Flight 77 during 9/11.
    Their flight instructor said they were 'impatient students'.
    He was buddies with radical imam Anwar Al-Awlaki.
    People who met him said he was 'dark and brooding, with a dislike of American culture'.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was brainwashed into believing a distorted version of Islam that orders its followers to kill innocent people as part of jihad.
    His family was related to the Quraysh tribe, which Muhammad belonged to.
    He was nearly spared involvement in the attacks when Khalid Shaikh Mohammed decided to remove him from the 9/11 plot for leaving Nawaf alone, only to be overruled by Osama bin Laden.
    He somehow proved that video games have a more practical side than mere entertainment.
