Background
[U] Assistant U.S. Attorney Dave Novak and his team provided a briefing to Team 7 on the airphone and cell calls made from aboard VA Flight 93 on 9/11. This information was derived from an exhaustive study of the GTE airphone records from Flight 93 (with expert technical assistance from GTE engineers), and from an examination of the cell phone records of each of the passengers aboard 9/11 who owned cell phones. This work was conducted in support of the U.S. Justice Department's criminal case against Zacarias Moussaoui.
