On September 11, 2001, four men boarded United Airlines Flight 93. They planned to break into the cockpit of the plane and fly it into the Capitol building. One of these men was Ahmed al-Haznawi. He was known as the muscle hijacker. It was his job to subdue the passengers while one of his fellow hijackers took over the plane.
He left his family in 1999, saying he was going to fight in Chechnya. He went to Afghanistan to train in Al-Qaeda camps. He got into the United States living in Florida with his fellow hijackers. On September 11, he boarded United Airlines Flight 93 and overtook the plane. Soon after, the passengers revolted and the plane crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania killing everyone on-board.
