John O'Neill, a flamboyant former top agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, was killed in the attack on the trade center, where he had started working as the Port Authority's chief of security two weeks earlier.The 70-page complaint alleges connections between Iraq and Al Qaeda dating back to the 1990's, when it says iraq began actively supporting Al Qaeda operations by providing intelligence, training, weapons, supplied, passports, travel documents, and financial support.
"Al Qaeda, backed by Iraq, carried out the September 11th terror attacks with the financial and logistical support of numerous individuals and organizations," the complaint says. "These individuals and organizations provided Al Qaeda with the means to recruit, train, and employ thousands of terrorists."One of those "thousands," according to the suit, was September 11 ring-leader Mohammed Atta, who, "through his close connections to Iraqi intelligence and his activities as a conduit of information and funding, became an agent of the Iraqi Intelligence Agency."
