Katherine Smith

From 9/11 Encyclopedia:

Katherine Smith's case was one of the many cases, which was never really disclosed to the US Nation, however she was connected with 
the early September 11th attack investigation of the FBI. In February 2002, some news papers reported, that Smith, who had been charged
"in a scheme with five men to sell fraudulent licenses...died in a fiery car crash the day before her first court appearance,
a crash the prosecutor called "most unusual and suspicious"

FBI agent J. Suzanne Nash said authorities were trying to determine what caused the car to burn. The gas tank did not explode and the car was only slightly dented from the crash. "Her death was not the result of the crash itself," said THP Capt. Jimmy Erwin. "Her death was by other means."

As investigative journalist Wayne Madsen (->) reported in an article at counterpunch, Katherine Smith mysterious death was examined at the same institute who examined Don C Wiley (->), the MicroBiologist, who died under strange circumstances in 2001.

) And "...in yet another strange twist, on March 14 (2002), a bomb and two smaller explosive devices were found at the Shelby County Regional Forensic Center, which houses the morgue and Medical Examiner's Office that conducted Wiley's autopsy. Dr. O.C, Smith, the medical examiner, told Memphis' Commercial Appeal, "We have done several high-profile cases from Dr. Wiley to Katherine Smith (a Department of Motor Vehicles employee mysteriously found burned to death in her car after being charged in a federal probe with conspiracy to obtain fraudulent drivers' licenses for men of Middle East origin) but there has been no indication that we offended anyone . . . we just don't know if we were the attended target or not." 

Two of the five men, connected with the Katherine Smith case and fraudulent licenses had been Khaled Odtllah and Sakhera Hammad (Denko Mechanical->). When Hammad was arrested, investigators found a visitor's pass for the World Trade Center, dated Sept. 5, 2001, in his wallet. He told authorities he was a plumber who worked on the center's sprinkler system. 

Edit July 2007:
(1) Most sources indicate that Katherine Smith sold licenses to middle eastern men or illegal aliens NOT hijackers
as mentioned in the Kansas City Star quote
