At least two groups of hijackers who commandeered U.S. airliners Tuesday, crashing two into New York's World Trade Center and a third into the Pentagon, were armed with knives, separate reports suggested. There have been no reports so far that the hijackers carried firearms, which would have been difficult to smuggle aboard an aircraft. CNN reported that Barbara Olson, wife of U.S. Solicitor General Ted Olson, made two telephone calls from the hijacked Boeing 757 that crashed into the Pentagon, saying the hijackers of that aircraft were armed with knives and knives for cutting cardboard. Olson is seen during an appearance on CNN in this undated file photo. (CNN via Reuters)
