No, the article wasn't that specific that I recall. Probably very early 90s.

Another interesting figure is an Iraqi- people don't even know one of bin Laden's best buds was an Iraqi "engineer" named Saad but he had more even less well known Iraqi associate:

Mubarak Douri aka Mubarak al Duri, etc is a very interesting figure. The 9/11 commission report mentions him as the guy who helped al Qaeda procure WMD. It doesn't specify just what sort of WMD- but it does mention that he supervised another al Qaeda related person on a big agricultural irrigation project in Sudan. Seems kind of odd to have a guy who's in charge of procuring WMD also supervising an irrigation project, doesn't it?

The other thing about the Mubarak al Douri is that he is part of the Tucson cell that el Hage belonged to. That cell has strong ties to a Toronto mosque, and one figure in particular is tied to Florida.

The tie is probably agronomy. People schooled in agronomy can do irrigation and yet are soil scientists and take classes in microbiology.

Two of the ones I am fingering majored in agronomy the third a vet and the 4th is most interesting as he worked on genetically engineered corn.

My view is from the theft not from the mailing.

Sounds like you read the 9/11 report?? Did they mention the destruction at ISU??
