In an Aviation Week and Space Technologies issues last year they had arial photos of an aircraft parked in an off-area (in Iraq) that was presumably used for training hijackers. They seemed to present credible evidence toward that usage but I'm not sure if they had linked Al Qaeda (that's not much of a stretch, considering Saddam thinks he owed us one for Desert Storm).

That was Salman Pak...

Salman Pak: Iraq's Smoking Gun Link to 9-11?

An excerpt:

"We know that at Salman Pak, on the southern edge of Baghdad, five different eyewitnesses - three Iraqi defectors and two American U.N. inspectors - have said - and now there are aerial photographs to show it - a Boeing 707 that was used for training of hijackers, including non-Iraqi hijackers trained very secretly to take over airplanes with knives."

Another intriguing coincidence: Salman Pak's hijacking school reportedly opened for business in 1995, the same year al-Qaeda agents in the Philippines hatched a plot to hijack 12 airliners and slam some of them into U.S. landmarks.

If America's press is looking for smoking-gun evidence tying Iraq to the 9-11 attacks, Saddam Hussein's hijack school for Islamic terrorists is as good as it's likely to get.

So far all points to the direction that Saydam and Al-Qida dont get along. So why dont let Al-Qida do the dirty job of getting rid of Saydam?
