Their main targets were passenger and military vessels. Finally they come up with the brilliant idea of hijacking aircraft in the United States and aiming them at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, the White House and Congress. Mohammad Atta, motivated by his deep belief in the fanatic branch of Islam, begins building a task force and training pilots. During preparations for the operation he appears to be a full-fledged he drinks alcohol, shaves his beard, frequents bars and even befriends Western women.
