The second (CNN) article did say that Ameer was believed to have been killed in a mid-air collision but the article became bizarre because it went on to say that Ameer Bukhari and his brother were two of the pilots responsible for the hijackings on Tuesday. I've heard about faking your death, but it's kind of difficult to fake your death when you collide mid-air with another aircraft. The second article has since been updated to say that Ameer's brother Adnan is actually in FBI custody and is cooperating with FBI agents. Neither Bukhari brother (alive or dead) piloted the hijacked aircraft. The article says the mistake was made because their names were "tied to a car left at an airport in Portland, Maine". Adnan Bukhari's lawyer is saying that it appears the brothers' identities were stolen and that Adnan had no role in the hijackings. There is an apology from CNN on that link. The story itself has been corrected, and an apology has been inserted into the text. It was an interesting mystery while it lasted...
