"America is in for a hell of a ride with so much mentally troubled people."

Police on Sunday gave details of a suicide note that appeared to show the lone 15-year-old who flew a light plane into a high-rise office block in Tampa was inspired by the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
Tampa Police Chief Bennie Holder told reporters a note found on the body of Charles Bishop, who was killed on Saturday when the stolen Cessna crashed into a Bank of America building in the city, expressed sympathy for Osama bin Laden.

"I would characterise it as a suicide note," Holder told reporters of the three to four paragraph handwritten note.

Bin Laden and his al-Qaida network have been blamed for the September 11 attacks using hijacked airliners in which about 3,000 people were killed. Bishop was the only casualty in Saturday's crash.

"(Bishop) did ... make a statement expressing his sympathy for Osama bin Laden and the event which occurred on September 11, 2001," Holder said.

"At this time there is no information to support Bishop's connection with any terror organisation ... all the indications are Charles Bishop was a troubled young man who acted alone without anyone else," Holder said.
