Ahmed bin Abdullah al-Nami (Arabic: ???? ?? ??? ???? ??????, A?mad bin ‘Abdullah an-Nami; also transliterated as Alnami;August 17, 1977 – September 11, 2001) was one of four terrorist hijackers of United Airlines Flight 93 as part of the September 11 attacks.
Born in Saudi Arabia, al-Nami had served as a muezzin and was a college student.He left his family in 2000 to complete the Hajj, but later went to Afghanistan bound for an al-Qaeda training camp where he befriended other future hijackers and would soon be chosen to participate in the attacks.
He arrived in the United States in May 2001, on a tourist visa, where he would settle in Florida up until the attacks.
On September 11, 2001, al-Nami boarded United 93 and assisted in the hijacking of the plane so that it could be flown into the U.S.
Capitol.The plane instead crashed into a field in rural Somerset County, Pennsylvania during a passenger uprising, due to the passengers receiving information from their families of the three other hijacked planes that hit the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
