But it seems they don't talk about Saddam's link to the terrorists -- he allowed them to train for the hijacking at Salman Pak.

The second publication, "Iraq: From Fear to Freedom," was distributed abroad. It cited claims by Iraqi defector Sabah Khodada, who said he trained radical Islamists at Salman Pak to hijack U.S. airliners.

Earlier Khodada had told the London Observer that he believed the 9/11 attacks were carried out "by graduates of Salman Pak."

The Bush administration booklet reported:

"Khodada ... confirmed numerous press reports that Salman Pak had an entire Boeing 707 jetliner that was used for training in hijacking techniques - from smuggling weapons on board to methods for overpowering the crew and terrorizing passengers into cowed submission."

Unquote.

The training may not have been at Salman Pak.

Could have been instead at Lahore in Pakistan :
