Photos Prove Connection Between Iraq and Al-Qaeda Terrorists

Photos Prove Connection Between Iraq and Al-Qaeda Terrorists
March 14, 2003

About 20 minutes before show time, we posted satellite imagery of Salman Pak - home of the terrorist training center in Iraq we've been telling you about. I want to thank Gary Napier and his whole staff from
Space Imaging, Inc. for these images from their IKONOS satellite. It's not in geo synchronous orbit, so they can move it to map, measure and monitor anywhere on earth.

The third of the three shots zeros in on what looks like a Boeing 727 fuselage to me. Everyone says it's a 707, but its wings would be farther forward if that were the case. So it's probably a 727, or at least a tri-jet. One of the stories I read this week and put into Rush's Saddam Stack of Stuff in researching all this, cited Aviation Week and Space Technology's article on this facility. This confirms the existence of that fuselage, which Iraqi defectors including Captain Sabah Khodada warned America about.


Jet Fuselage in Salman Pak, Iraq Used to Train Al-Qaeda Terrorists







UN inspectors say this was once and could still be the site of BW research. The facility includes a terrorism training facility where they train on this civilian airliner. (Read the chilling transcript.) The entire facility sits in an ox bow of the Tigris River, 25 km south of Baghdad. This series of shots gradually gets closer to the plane’s fuselage, located at the southern (bottom) part of the facility, above the bend in the river. IKONOS travels 423 miles above the earth's surface at a speed of 17,500mph, but it's done a better job of pointing this out than the UN Inspectors who saw it on the ground.

We should fight Iraq under the auspices of the Bush Doctrine. They have funded, sheltered, trained and armed International Terrorists. They are, therefore, Terrorists.

This UN crud has injured our nation.

I don't get why Rumsfeld,Bush, and Powell don't blast these pictures across CNN and FOX all day long.

I personally think they are doing a sloppy job selling the war for that reason.

Ok Smarty. If it's not a jet aircraft then what is it?

Is it just me or are you seemingly trying to vent frustration with this damning indictment of Iraq by the single factor of possession of a 727 fuselage? You couple that with the fact it is located in a terrorist camp and we have defectors who made it known it was used for training terrorist hijackers.

Look at the copyright date on the second photo. That's almost three years old, and before the Sept 11th attacks...

The FBI has gone to great lengths to build a timeline of the locations of the various 9/11 hijackers and (please correct me if I'm wrong) none of them spent any length of time, or even a short visit, in Iraq. (If they had, don't you think we would have heard about it?)

So did they mystically learn to hijack planes through remote viewing while they were in Saudi Arabia or Germany or the US?

So does this mean that the Saddam Hussein regime has been supporting the Al Qaida terrorists???

In addition to the al-Nasiriyah and Salman Pak training camps, by January 1999, BIN LADEN and AL QAEDA operatives were being trained by IRAQI INTELLIGENCE and military officers at other training camps on the outskirts of Baghdad.

On October 14, 2000, just two days after the attack on the U.S.S. Cole, two Saudis hijacked a Boeing 777 from Saudi Arabia and had it flown to Baghdad, IRAQ. The hijackers were given “asylum” in IRAQ. They were extensively interviewed in the Iraqi press and criticized the Saudi government.

There is no match by lookdown silouhette, with any commercial jet or business class jet or military transport jet.

There are no shadows beneath the "wings."

The leading edge of the root of the "vertical stabilizer" is ahead of the "wingtips" and starts (from "nose" to "tail") at the aft, trailing root of the "wings" --- there is no such aircraft shape in the inventories.

To the "southeast" of the "jet," there is a collection of similarly-colored material, probably a pile of rocks associated with the "structure."

However, not in these photos, maybe a "parked 707" could be found at the Salman Pak [east] airfield.
