Flight school warned FAA about Sept 11 hijacker Hanjour
An Arizona flight school alerted federal officials before September 11 that Hani Hanjour lacked flying skill and English proficiency for his commercial license. In January 2001 an FAA inspector checked his 1999 license and sat with him in class, but did not inform the FBI or revoke the license. Hanjour is believed to pilor the Pentagon crash.
