==Attacks== On September 11, 2001, Nami arrived in Newark to board United Airlines Flight 93 along with [[Saeed al-Ghamdi ]][[Ahmed al-Haznawi]] and [[Ziad Jarrah]]. Some reports suggest Haznawi was pulled aside for screening while others claim there is no record of whether any of the four were screened; the lack of CCTV cameras at the time has compounded the problem. Nami boarded the plane between 7:39 am and 7:48 am; seated in First Class 3C, next to Saeed al-Ghamdi. Due to the flight's routine delay, the pilot and crew were notified of the previous hijackings and were told to be on the alert, though within two minutes Jarrah had stormed the cockpit leaving the pilots dead or injured. At least two of the cellphone calls made by passengers indicate that all the hijackers they saw were wearing red bandanas, which some have questioned may have signified an allegiance to the Egyptian Islamic Jihad. The calls also indicated that one of the men had tied a box around his torso, and claimed there was a bomb inside. Ahmed Al-Nami was the hijacker with the bomb. Passengers on the plane heard through phone calls the fates of the other hijacked planes, and organized a brief assault to retake the cockpit. Ahmed Al-Nami was heard screaming outside the cockpit suggesting that he was killed by the passengers. The remaining hijackers crashed the plane into the Pennsylvania farmland rather than cede control of the plane. All aboard died.
