The report also elaborates on the story of the Israeli flying on American Airlines flight 11 who attempted to stop the hijackers from breaking into the cockpit before the plane plunged into the World Trade Center.
Daniel Lewin was seated in first class when he saw two of the hijackers - group leader Mohammed Ata and Abdul Aziz al-Omri - getting up in order to enter the cockpit and take control of the plane, according to the report.
The Israeli tried to stop the two, but a third hijacker sitting behind him, identified as Satam al-Sukami, stabbed Lewin. It is not known whether he was killed or injured, but according to a telephone conversation from a stewardess aboard the plane, Lewin was badly wounded.
Lewin, 31, was a founder of the hi-tech company Akamai, based in Boston. He was born in the United States but immigrated to Israel at the age of 14 with his parents.
Lewin served in the Israel Defense Forces' elite Sayeret Matkal unit. The report said that Lewin had served as an IDF officer for four years. He is survived by his wife and two sons.
