Alleged 20th hijacker wanted to fly ‘big bird’

Alleged 20th hijacker Zacarias Moussaoui wrote that he wanted to ‘‘pilot one of those big bird’’ as he tried to get into a flight school.

The French-Moroccan, who faces the death penalty over charges that he conspired to hijack planes and crash them into buildings, was arrested in August when he aroused the suspicions of the flight school he asked to join.
