Discovery of Hijacker's Passport Near 9/11 Site

The FBI tells NBC News it was some distance from Ground Zero

that a civilian found a passport lying on the street belonging to one of the

suspected hijackers. It's an indication of just how widely

dispersed the evidence could be.

Well, Dan, not far from here, a passerby found the passport of one of

the

hijackers. Evidence this disaster scene is

also a crime scene.

And in the rubble outside the World Trade Center towers, we're told rescue workers

have recovered a passport in the debris.

It belonged to one of the dead hijackers.

The discovery of a suspected hijacker's passport near the ruins of the World

Trade Center has prompted investigators to search for evidence blocks from the

disaster site.

And also at Building 7, which is not far from, uh,

where the World Trade Center,

it's all the World Trade Center complex, which was a building that had collapsed,

uh, later on on Tuesday afternoon.

That's where Rick Leventhal is, and we're going to check in with him for

the

latest from just outside Building 7. Rick?

Donna, when these buildings came crashing down on

Tuesday, they sent debris

showering in several blocks, uh, in every direction.

And it was in one of those, uh, areas a f- a couple of blocks away from the World

Trade Center site, apparently, where that passport was found.

Uh, the FBI announcing that it has found the passport of one of

the

hijackers who were, uh, s- who was on board one of those two planes

that hit the

Twin Towers on Tuesday morning.

Another development on Saturday, New York officials revealed at a news

conference

here in the city that a hijacker's passport

was found blocks from the World Trade

Center crash site, if you can believe that.

No other details were given, but the discovery prompted the FBI

and police to

expand their s- the search area.
