I just came back from breakfast at a nearby bagel shop... a woman at an adjacent table was telling a story to another customer and I over heard the story, the woman was speaking loudly... She said her daughter in New York phoned her last week and told her on September 10th she and her husband were invited to their friends' house for coffee and cake that evening... they went to the home, they were surprised to see it was sparsely furnished... at the end of the evening, the host told her husband he looked ill and he should not go to work on Tuesday... the husband said he felt fine and his wife said he looked fine... but still, the host again told him he looked ill and he should not go to work the following morning..... Ignoring the host's advice, he went to work on the 70th floor of the World Trade Center... after the initial attack, he evacuated the building successfully and eventually made his way home... he phoned the FBI and told them what happened the night before... the couple who invited them for coffee and cake were a Pakistani couple... the agent eventually visited the daughter and her husband to tell them the couple had disappeared and the home was abandoned, the agent asked if they had any other possible information regarding the couple's immediate whereabouts... they didn't know..... Having been a State agent and investigator for the State of Florida for many years, I turned and asked the woman if that house was rented? She said she didn't know... I asked how long her daughter and her husband knew the couple, she said she didn't know... I'm inclined to believe the woman's story..... Amazing, if true..... and if so, I wonder how many terrorists knew about the attack in advance..... GZ
