Atta met Iraqi intelligence in Prague-U.S. source |
WASHINGTON, Oct 11 (Reuters) - Mohamed Atta, one of the suspected hijackers of the first plane that crashed into the World Trade Center, met with an Iraqi intelligence official in Prague in June 2000 and April 2001, a U.S. source said on Thursday. But the source cautioned, as have U.S. officials privately since the attacks on New York and Washington on Sept. 11, that Atta's meeting with an Iraqi intelligence official was not evidence that Iraq was connected to the attacks. "There is no reason to indicate that it is related to the Sept. 11 attack," the source told Reuters. Czech Interior Minister Stanislav Gross last month said Atta had made a one-day stop in the Czech Republic in the summer of 2000 while in transit. Atta had lived in neighboring Germany while studying city planning at Hamburg's Technical University. A U.S. source had told Reuters last month that Atta had met an Iraqi intelligence official in Europe earlier this year. Intelligence analysts have said it would not be unusual for someone with Atta's alleged connections to extremist groups to meet with an Iraqi intelligence official. |
Yes, but in the interest of globalism the CFR would rather not deal with the main sponsors of Islamic fundamentalist terrorism. Saudi money and Saddam's intelligence apparatus appear to present too much of a threat to the interests of the masonic NWO crowd.
