Hijacker code names

An interesting aspect of the hijackers is their code names (names of various Islamic heroes), revealed in a video called The 19 Martyrs (alternatively, The 19 Lions1), in which Osama bin Laden praises and briefly describes the individual hijackers:

Satam M.A. Al Suqami (stabbed Daniel Lewin) = Azmi
Waleed M. Al Shehri = Abu Mus'ab
Wail M. Al Shehri = Abu Salma
Abdul Aziz Al Omari = Abul Abbas Al Janoubi

Flight 175 - struck South Tower (WTC 2)
Marwan Yousef Al Shehhi (pilot and Atta's cousin) = Abul Qaqaa Al Qatari
Fayez Rashid Ahmed Hassan Al Qadi Banihammad = Abu Ahmed Al Emirati
Hamza Al Ghamdi = Julaibeeb Al Ghamdi
Ahmed Salah Al Ghamdi = Ikrama Al Ghamdi
Mohand Al Shehri = Omar al Azadi

Flight 77 - struck Pentagon
Hani Saleh Hanjour (pilot) = Orwa Al Taefi
Nawaf Al Hazmi (Atta's right hand mand) = Rabi'a al Makki
Salem Al Hazmi (Nawaf's younger brother) = Belal al Makki

nice job being angry and mean spirited.. i also like how you have a profound lack of reasonable evidence. your references come from the same source and thats kinda retarded. you are a shrine to the fact that reason and religion dont tend to work well together
 
"Angry and mean spirited" - are you referring to my "propaganda" warning? Many people, myself included, are simply sick of 9/11 conspiracism. Can you give me some specifics before making a sweeping assertion like "you have a profound lack of reasonable evidence" and "you are a shrine to the fact that reason and religion dont tend to work well together"?
