from
Wikipedia
According to testimony by captured al-Qaeda member Abu Zubaydah, U. S. officials believed the White House was the intended target.
A post-9 / 11 interview with Sheikh Mohammed and bin al-Shibh by Al Jazeera reporter Yosri Fouda revealed that Flight 93 was headed for the Capitol.
The 9 / 11 Commission Report cited the actions of the crew and passengers in preventing the destruction of either the White House or the Capitol.
According to further testimony by Sheikh Mohammed, bin Laden preferred the Capitol over the White House as a target and Sheikh Mohammed revealed that the interview to Fouda was a lie to make the 9 / 11 attacks seem larger than they were.
Salim Hamdan, bin Laden's driver, told interrogators that he knew the flight was headed for the Capitol.
