While in Germany, Atta worked part-time for an urban planning company. He became more religious and started to follow certain Muslim dietary rules, such as abstaining from drinking alcohol. According to some reports, Atta spoke out about the Egyptian government's treatment of fundamentalist groups back home. He also expressed [[Anti-Semitism|anti-Semitic]] and [[Americophobia|anti-American]] views.

At the university, Atta insisted on a prayer room for himself and other fellow Muslims. He also lived with fellow September 11th terrorists [[Marwan al-Shehhi]] and [[Ziad Jarrah]] at some point during his time in Germany. In the late 1990s, Atta is believed to have trained at an [[Al-Qaeda]] camp in Afghanistan. He was linked to an al Qaeda terror cell in Hamburg in 1999. While still in Germany, Atta began researching flight schools in the United States, according to the 9/11 Commission Report.
