"We didn't have precisions about Saddam's involvement in the 9/11 attacks. However, a informator told me camps were built for Arab terrorists near Baghdad. Iraqi intelligence officers were the advisers. They were training with real Boeing 747, the same they will later use for the hijackings." Haitham Rashid Wihaib Saddam's chief of Protocol (1980-1993) In a book ONLY published in French in december 2003
TRANSLATION OF THE BACK COVER : “When he is ordered to organize the daily life of Saddam Hussein, Haitham Rashid Wihaib knows he has no choice : he knows the fate of those who refuse Saddam’s orders. He will stay 13 years at the job, before fleeing with his wife and children after the third attempt of murder against him. Today, he explains everything. Saddam and his 20’000 cars, his numerous palaces where 250 foods were prepared everyday in the case of a unexpected visit of the dictator and his guests (who had to disinfect themselves before approaching him). Saddam throwing through the window the mistresses he disliked. Saddam and his personal jails, his ferment of acid where he threw prisoners, his heroin refinery for neutralizing the states of the region... Saddam and his huge wealth he kept from his people and allies, his behavior during the Gulf War and how he favored training of bin Laden’s commandos.”
