Monday, Oct. 29, 2001 12:57 p.m. EST FBI Missed White Powder in Atta's Car FBI investigators performing anthrax tests on vehicles used by kamikaze terror pilot Mohamed Atta failed to discover a suspicious spot of white powder in a rental car he used just two days before the Sept. 11 attacks. A Pompano Beach rent-a-car company owner told the Miami Herald Monday that Atta had rented the 1995 Ford Escort twice - once in August and again in September. When the kamikaze terror pilot returned the vehicle, its trunk contained a "teaspoon" of unidentified powder, he told the paper. "I don't know what [the powder] is," said Bradley G. Warrick, 48, owner of Warrick Rent-A-Car and Budget Truck Rental. "I don't know if it's anything I need to be concerned about." The 1995 Escort had been in FBI custody for two weeks after the attacks, but went unchecked for anthrax during that time. Warrick told the Herald he hadn't alerted the bureau to the white powder in Atta's vehicle earlier because he assumed they had discovered it on their own and analyzed it. But FBI Miami spokeswoman Judy Orihuela was surprised to hear about the white powder. "We were not called out on that," she told the paper. "I find it hard to believe." Over the weekend the FBI examined two cars owned by Atta and another hijacker after reports surfaced revealing investigators had failed to do so. Both vehicles tested negative for presence of the deadly bacterium. Based on the negative test results for the two vehicles, investigators had decided not to test Atta's Florida residence for anthrax. But that decision is expected to change in the wake of news of the suspicious powder in Atta's rental car. newsmax.com
