9/11 conspiracists, if you want to find support for your theories, you'll have to choose a publication besides the BBC article on allegedly living hijacking suspects!:

A five-year-old story from our archive has been the subject of some recent
editorial discussion here. The story, written in the immediate aftermath of the
9/11 attacks, was about confusion at the time surrounding the names and
identities of some of the hijackers. This confusion was widely reported and was
also acknowledged by the FBI.The story has been cited ever since by some as
evidence that the 9/11 attacks were part of a US government conspiracy.We later
reported on the list of hijackers, thereby superseding the earlier report. In
the intervening years we have also reported in detail on the investigation into
the attacks, the 9/11 commission and its report.We’ve carried the full report,
executive summary and main findings and, as part of the recent fifth anniversary
coverage, a detailed guide to what’s known about what happened on the day. But
conspiracy theories have persisted. The confusion over names and identities we
reported back in 2001 may have arisen because these were common Arabic and
Islamic names.In an effort to make this clearer, we have made one small change
to the original story. Under the FBI picture of Waleed al Shehri we have added
the words "A man called Waleed Al Shehri..." to make it as clear as possible
that there was confusion over the identity. The rest of the story remains as it
was in the archive as a record of the situation at the time.We recently asked
the FBI for a statement, and this is, as things stand, the closest thing we have
to a definitive view: The FBI is confident that it has positively identified the
nineteen hijackers responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Also, the 9/11
investigation was thoroughly reviewed by the National Commission on Terrorist
Attacks Upon the United States and the House and Senate Joint Inquiry. Neither
of these reviews ever raised the issue of doubt about the identity of the
nineteen hijackers.
