US Federal Judge Baer established in his ruling that the 1993 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center did involve the government of Saddam Hussein.
It has been a sacrosanct principal of objection that the Iraq war and 911 have nothing to do with each other.
If this Al Qaeda mastermind is confessing that he was involved in the 1993 bombing that it proves coordination between Al Qaeda and the government of Iraq prior to 911. It also makes it improbable and near impossible that the Iraqi government did not assist in the attacks of 911. Even the limited knowledge of the attacks results in 1993 would have been useful in planning larger attacks which would actually knock down the towers. This was the orginal plan of the 1993 attacks. The attackers were suprised by the resiliency of the towers and even those caught for the 93 attacks promised that someday they would be repeated and destroy the towers.

Ramzi Yousef (1993 WTC) and Terry Nichols crossed paths (OKC) in the Phillipines. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (9/11) was Yousef's uncle. It is interesting to note that Yousef entered the United States on an Iraqi passport and had been known among the New York fundamentalists as "Rashid, the Iraqi". Another name that could be thrown into the mix is Abdul Rahman Yasin, a U.S. citizen who moved to Iraq in the 1960's and returned to the U.S. in 1992. After the 1993 WTC bombing, Yasin fled to Iraq and was given monthly salary and housing by Saddam Hussein's regime.
