The Fedayeen were a special unit of volunteers given basic training in irregular warfare. The lieutenant colonel, Ahmed Hikmat Shakir, has the same name as an Iraqi thought to have attended a planning meeting for the Sept. 11 attacks in January 2000, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The meeting was also attended by two of the hijackers, Khalid al Midhar and Nawaf al Hamzi and senior al-Qaida leaders.
Lehman said that commission staff members continued to work on the issue and experts cautioned that the connection might be nothing more than coincidence.

If this is true and I personally don't think it's a coincidence, this shows there is a direct link not only between Saddam and Al Qaeda, but that Iraq WAS actually involved in planning the 9-11 attack!

I completely agree!!
Huh? Either it is or it is not the same person. If it is, the connection is there big time.

I personally remember hearing on CNN during the first Gulf war that Sadam had threatened to get us in our tall buildings. I have never forgotten that Sadam statement and haven't run in to anyone yet who remembers hearing that also. Sadam was the first one I thought of on 9/11.
Maybe the little meeting was an Anthrax exchange.
"Ahmed Hikmat Shakir, Khalid al Midhar and Nawaf al Hamzi"
I sure wish these folks had names like Smith, Jones, and Johnson.
