On September 11, 2001, Saudi Arabians, whom the F.B.I. knew were training to fly airplanes without learning to takeoff or land, crashed two airliners into the 110-story twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. Other Al Qaeda hijackers rammed an airliner into the Pentagon, and a fourth airliner crashed in a field in Pennsylvania.
