Salem al-Hazmi Net Worth

Background and career

Salem Muhammed Salem al-Hazmi (Arabic: سالم محمد سالم الحازمي, romanized: Sālam al-Ḥāzmī; February 2, 1981 – September 11, 2001) was a Saudi terrorist who was one of the five hijackers who assisted in the hijacking of American Airlines Flight 77 as part of the September 11 attacks.

Al-Hazmi had a relatively long history with al-Qaeda before being selected for the attacks. He obtained a tourist visa through the Visa Express program and arrived in the United States in June 2001 where he would settle in New Jersey with other American 77 hijackers up until the attacks.

On September 11, 2001, al-Hazmi boarded Flight 77, alongside four accomplices, including his older brother Nawaf al-Hazmi. He and his team of hijackers helped subdue the passengers and crew, allowing the team's suicide pilot, Hani Hanjour, to take control of the plane and deliberately crash it into the Pentagon, near Washington, D.C., killing everyone aboard the flight, including al-Hazmi. Al-Hazmi had turned 20 that same year, making him the youngest of the nineteen terrorists to perpetrate the attacks.
