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

March 14, 2003

For months, I've been telling you about the airliner fuselage used by Al-Qaeda terrorists to train hijackers. It's in Salman Pak, Iraq - and now we have pictures to prove it. (Click on each photo for a larger image.) Space Imaging's IKONOS Satellite - the world's first one-meter commercial satellite - collected these images on April 25, 2000.

IKONOS travels 423 miles above the earth's surface at a speed of 17,500mph. Its imagery can be used to accurately map, measure and monitor anywhere on the earth. According to former UN inspectors, Salman Pak was once and could be the site of a probable BW research.

The Salman Pak facility also includes, according to Iraqi defectors, a terrorism training facility where they train on a civilian airliner parked in a field. You can see the aircraft in the image on the right. The entire facility sits in an ox bow of the Tigris River, some 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.

No secret here but the lefties wouldn't believe the connection if it blew up in their faces. If all of their faces were somewhere else, I'd be glad to wait and let them find out. But since many of their faces are in too close to mine, I'm supporting GWB's plan to save their faces.

"how to hijack civilian airliners, buses and trains"

:-) I just got the image of some group of terrorists overtaking a train in Europe and telling the Engineer to take them to Angola.

You know, I follow the news fairly closely, but I did not even know about this Salman Pak thing until two days ago! If this is true, if it can be verified and documented that Saddam has a terrorist training facility--especially one that trains terrorists to hijack jet airplanes!--then this is THE mother of all smoking guns! This then would be clear, incontrovertible evidence of an Irag-terrorism connection. In that case, I don't think there could be any question about our right to take out Saddam. It clearly would not be a "first strike"--it would be a "strike back." It would not be "pre-emptive"--it would be "post-emptive"!

Since they have located this place, I assume that it will be bombed to kingdom come very soon.

I've heard from a friend that Salman Pak, Iraq is located in the Kurdish control northern part of Iraq. Could someone give us some information about this?

And I heard a man's voice between the banks of the Ulai, who called, and said, "Gabriel, make this man understand the vision."

It was proven on these threads:

here and here that the aircraft in question is NOT a Boeing 707. There are plenty of reasons to get rid of Saddam, but using incorrect data only leads neutral observers to believe that the all US information is suspect.

[struwwelpeter]

Note the overhead views of the Salman Pak acft and schematics of a 707. The Salman Pak acft is likely a Tu-154 "Careless", many of which litter the junkyards of eastern Europe. The airport near Erfurt, former East Germany, has one which has been converted to a cafe.
