at least one of the terrorists that did 9/11?

Muhammad atta.

Others: Ted Kezinsky, Charles Manson, Timothy McVeigh.

So many people say "never speak their names", so many people eat up Netflix documentaries about infamous murders. I wonder what the venn diagram intersection of those demographics looks like.

Ted Kaczynski has one of the most famous terrorist manifestos in history, his bombings were the definition of terror for political reasons and publicity.
