Iraqi officer reports training Al Qaeda members
According to a report in an independent Iraqi newspaper translated by the invaluable Middle East Media Research Institute, an unidentified Iraqi officer says that a group of 100 assorted jihadis, mostly from Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan, and described by the officer as Al Qaeda members, were trained by Iraqi Fedayeen specialists in hijacking and terrorist skills at Salman Pak and elsewhere in Iraq two months before the September 11th attack on America.

Here is a theory about Iraq and 9/11 that I don’t Thus, the Czechs report on meetings in Prague between a future 9/11 hijacker and Iraqi intelligence, and the CIA has a virtual fit denying it ever since (and rather unconvincingly, as they have no refutation of the facts). A New York-based columnist (cannot remember her name, sorry) details how the Iraqis provided new identities for terrorists using their control over Kuwaiti files and passports during the first Gulf War, and how several of these terrorists ended up being 9/11 hijackers, and the CIA denies it. I just don’t think they can change their minds in public again after they were made to look incompetent in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. |
