On the outside of Khalid Abdul-Latif`s apartment door in Sea-Tac is a message to visitors – “In the name of Allah we enter, in the name of Allah we leave.”

In the parking lot, the American citizen’s red Honda Passport sits empty. On the passenger side, an American flag has been used as a floor mat.  

The 33-year-old Abdul-Latif served in the Navy in the 1990s, but reportedly said during the attack planning saying that he wanted to punish America for its military actions overseas and to die as a martyr in the terror attack.  He also allegedly said he admired OsamaBin Laden.

Abdul-Latif’s wife of six years, Binta Moussa-Davis, said he was as loving father and husband and she had no idea that he might have been planning an attack.

“No idea, no idea … He is good Muslim, perfect Muslim. He prays five times a day,” Moussa-Davis said in an interview with Q13.  “He work hard to raise me and his little son.”

Abdul-Latif  recently owned his own janitorial service, but authorities said he was also plotting to kill U.S. military recruits in a Seattle building on July 5.
