Correct. He came with Yousef, who traveled on a valid Iraqi passport.

How did you know that much about Yasin, but not know he lived there after the bombing and received housing and a salary from Saddam?

Quick Wikipedia check to try to find out what might connect Ramzi Yousef, KSM, and Yasin to Saddam. Wikipedia had that little factoid about Yasin's place of birth, but not much info on his activities post-'93 bombing.

A wealth of evidence on the public record -- from government reports and congressional testimony to news accounts from major newspapers -- attests to longstanding ties between bin Laden and Saddam going back to 1994.
Those who try to whitewash Saddam's record don't dispute this evidence; they just ignore it. So let's review the evidence, all of it on the public record for months or years:

* Abdul Rahman Yasin was the only member of the al Qaeda cell that detonated the 1993 World Trade Center bomb to remain at large in the Clinton years. He fled to Iraq. U.S. forces recently discovered a cache of documents in Tikrit, Saddam's hometown, that show that Iraq gave Mr. Yasin both a house and monthly salary.
