U.S. nabs Iraqi with alleged 9/11 ties

An Iraqi intelligence officer, who Czech officials said had met with September 11 hijacker Mohamed Atta in Prague, is now in U.S. hands, officials said. Coalition forces also captured two more former leaders on the list of the 55 most-wanted Iraqis, U.S. Central Command said.

Czech officials and the CIA have said this meeting DID NOT take place.

Problems with the story quickly emerged, however. US intelligence agencies pored over records of Atta's travels and concluded that during the period in question he was in Virginia Beach, not in Prague. An earlier trip that he had made to the Czech capital in 2000 was apparently for the purpose of obtaining a cheap airfare to the US.


We ran down literally hundreds of thousands of leads and checked every record we could get our hands on, FBI Director Robert Mueller said in a little reported speech in April. The conclusion: Atta was never in Prague on the day of the alleged meeting and there was no evidence that he ever met with Iraqi intelligence.

Czech intelligence officials attributed the report to a restaurant owner anxious to discredit a rival by claiming he catered to terrorists. They likewise found that the Iraqi diplomat in question regularly met with a friend, a used car dealer, who bore some physical resemblance to Atta.

Everyone knows that, didn't you listen to Bush* State of the Union speech. He told us all about it.
