From Times Wire Reports
Federal prosecutors said that an Ohio store sold flight training videos to two of the Sept. 11 hijackers and a man charged with plotting the terrorist attacks.
Sporty’s, which sells aviation training guides and pilot gear such as headsets, leather jackets and sunglasses, did not confirm it was the store mentioned in the indictment. But pilots said they knew of no other store in Ohio like Sporty’s.
“We cooperated with the FBI. We’re at war,” store spokesman Bill Anderson said. He said the information Sporty’s gave the FBI was confidential.
