He served as the hijacker-pilot of American Airlines Flight 11 and crashed the plane into the North Tower of the World Trade Center as part of the coordinated attacks.<sup>[1][2][3][4][5]</sup> At 33 years of age, he was the oldest of the 19 hijackers who took part in the attacks. |

Atta studied architecture at Cairo University, graduating in 1990, and continued his studies in Germany at the Hamburg University of Technology. In Hamburg, Atta became involved with the al-Quds Mosque, where he met Marwan al-Shehhi, Ramzi bin al-Shibh, and Ziad Jarrah, together forming the Hamburg cell. Atta disappeared from Germany for periods of time, spending some time in Afghanistan, including several months in late 1999 and early 2000 when he met Osama bin Laden and other top al-Qaeda leaders. Atta and the other Hamburg cell members were recruited by bin Laden and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed for the "planes operation" in the United States. Atta returned to Hamburg in February 2000, and began inquiring about flight training in the United States. |

In July 2001, Atta traveled to Spain where he met with bin al-Shibh to exchange information and finalize the plot.

On the morning of September 11, Atta and Omari flew on Colgan Air back to Boston, where they boarded American Airlines Flight 11. Fifteen minutes into the flight, the team of hijackers stormed the cockpit and Atta took over control of the aircraft. At 8:46 a.m., Atta crashed the Boeing 767 into the North Tower of the World Trade Center.<sup>[6]</sup> The crash led to the collapse of the tower 102 minutes later at 10:28 a.m., ultimately causing the deaths of over 1,600 civilians and first responders. |

- "In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable."
– Dwight D. Eisenhower
Game Info
Gold cost of upgrading military units reduced by 33%.
Strategy
The Pentagon appears to be a great Wonder for militaristic empires, but it is not without drawbacks: it allows them to keep their armies updated in tech for a lower 
Gold cost and also gives out two Great Merchant points. Although it may at first seem helpful to get Great Merchants, whenever a Great Merchant is acquired, the GPP requirements for obtaining Great Scientists and Great Engineers increase significantly. Militaristic players should not rush to build the Pentagon unless they also need to strengthen their economies or maintain alliances with city-states, because the slower acquisition of Great Scientists and Great Engineers will hamper their science and production potential.
Civilopedia entry
The Pentagon is a large, five-sided building in Arlington, Virginia, USA, just across the Potomac River from Washington, DC. It is the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense and all three military branches: Army, Navy, and Air Force. The Pentagon was designed to consolidate the various parts of the War Department, until then scattered in seventeen separate buildings across Washington. Construction began in 1941, and was completed in 1943, an astonishingly short period for such a huge building, reflecting the frantic pace of American military expansion at the start of World War II. The Pentagon occupies some 30 acres and contains office space for 25,000 people, making it one of the largest office buildings ever constructed (it holds more workers than the Empire State Building, for example).
The Pentagon was struck by a passenger jet airplane piloted by terrorists on September 11, 2001. Fortunately, the area of the Pentagon that was hit was undergoing renovations at the time of the attack. The renovations were to improve the structural strength of the building, and many of the office workers occupying that portion of the building had temporarily relocated to other quarters. One hundred and twenty-five Pentagon workers were killed in the attack, along with all sixty-four passengers aboard the plane. The building has since been fully rebuilt and today remains the heart and brains of the US military.
