Newly uncovered files examined by US military investigators in Baghdad show what is being described as 'a direct link' between Saddam Hussein's elite Fedayeen military unit and the terrorist attacks on America September 11, 2001.
Ahmed Hikmat Shakir, who attended a 2000 Al Qaeda summit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia where the 9/11 attacks were planned, is listed among the officers on three Fedayeen rosters reviewed by US probers, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.
'Our government sources, who have seen the translations of the documents, say Shakir is listed with the rank of Lt. Colonel,' the paper said.
Saddam's Fedayeen has been identified in previous reports as the group that conducted 9/11 style hijack training drills on a parked Boeing 707 airliner at the south Baghdad terrorist camp Salman Pak.
In a post obtained through Saddam's Mukahbarrat intelligence service, Shakir was stationed at the Iraqi embassy in Kuala Lumpur at the time of the 9/11 planning session.
Also in attendance, 9/11 highjackers Khalid al Midhar and Nawaz al Hamzi who piloted American Airlines Filght 77 when it crashed into the Pentagon.
Ramzi al Shibh, the operational planner of the 9/11 attacks, and Tawfiz al Atash, a high ranking Osama bin Laden lieutenant and mastermind of the USS Cole boming, were also at the meeting the Journal said.

Mr. Galt! Mr. Galt! Your crow is served. Too bad you're not hear to eat it.
TDIDS!
You'll never hear a word of this on the networks, trust me...
bump
Jesus on a Segway!
If Bush wants to bury his opponents, put the Fedayeen command structure on trial for 3000 murders. That would make it hard to ignore.
Wow! I'm sure this will be the lead story tonite on ABCNNBCBS...
If this information is absolutely verifiable, why doesn't Bush use it to silence his critics? Can anyone answer me that?
Hey mista - (quoting Jackie Mason).
You got that right. How much have they played up the Sarin?
Bush's big chance will be at the debates when he points out what the media won't talk about.
Bookmarked Also!!
The anti-war playbook read by the anti-American liberals and Dem politicians is slowly being totally discredited.
This will be declared "Top Secret" by the media and will not be reported, just to save our country.
And here I thought another newspaper originating from that grand city, the NYT, has been busy apologizing for blowing out of proportion Iraq's involvement with WMD. Can the attackers of 9/11, or the terrorists who devised and carried it out....be called weapons of mass destruction. I think so. Big time. Thank the Lord they were not carrying sarin gas barrels, dirty bombs, etc., on those planes that became missiles on that surreal and horrendous day.
THE LEFT IS TOAST!
Days like this makes the bookmark page overflow!
