Federal prosecutors say an Alexandria man is an essential witness in the terrorist probe, and possibly more.
A federal magistrate has ordered Mohamed Abdi held without bond.
Authorities says Abdi's name and phone number were found in a car registered to one of the 19 suspected hijackers in the terrorist attacks.
Another man was ordered held without bond in Alexandria in
connection with the investigation.
Herbert Villalobos is charged with helping one of the suspects get a fake I-D.

Intelligence could be key in winning the war on terrorism.
President Bush gave the C-I-A a pep talk yesterday, saying it's a war that requires the best of intelligence to even find the enemy.
Intelligence will likely range from spy satellites to commandoes.
Meanwhile, airport security takes center stage on the President's agenda today.
He'll announce new safety guidelines in Chicago-- the plan will likely include more sky marshals and reinforced cockpits.
Jennifer Jones is in Washington D-C and joins us now with the latest.

[VO-NAT 4:30:44 CONUS]
[SUPER=04-File Tape]
Each year doctors in the United States perform about one million angioplasties to open up clogged arteries.
In about 20 percent of those cases, scar tissue will clog the stent or wire tubing that holds the artery open.
Now preliminary studies in three German hospitals have found a drug that can prevent this buildup of tissue improving the success of heart surgery.
The drug is Paclitaxel (Pac-LA-taxul) which is normally used to treat cancer.
According to researchers, the drug works by inhibiting cell growth in the stent.
Pharmaceutical companies are already looking into this new development.
Companies like Boston Scientific and Johnson and Johnson are continuing studies and have plans to release a drug coated stent within the next few years.
