"The problem is that those that took out the WTC were Saudis not Iraqis. Yet so many
Americans now blame the WTC on the Iraqis."

Probably true of 9-11.
But Iraqi involvement in the 1993 attack...more of a question mark.
I've seen reports that said Mr. Yassin was living in Baghdad with a nice allowance
from Saddam, visiting his dying mother at his liesure.
But I've also seen reports that he was being held in detention by Saddam.
My fallible feeling goes more with the former view.

"Mr. Hage said Mr. Habbush began to vent his frustration over what the Americans
really wanted. He said that to demonstrate the Iraqis' willingness to cooperate
in America's effort against terrorism, Mr. Habbush offered to hand over Yasser Abdul Yassin,
who has been indicted in United States in connection with the 1993 World Trade Center
bombing. Mr. Yassin fled to Iraq after the bombing, and the United States has put up a
$25 million reward for his capture. "

There is no "probably" about it. Saudis financed the operation and carried it out.

"100% Definitely"

Not probably.
