the Saddam Hussein theory

["Andrew Hagen" <xah@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Many have linked the 1993 bombing of the WTC with the attack of
September 11. Since the 1993 bombing, associates linked to Osama bin
Laden have been prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced to life in prison
in the United States.

One little noticed book makes the strange claim that it was not bin
Laden's network, but Iraq that sponsored that terrorism. Former CIA
Director James Woolsey is now calling for a short investigation. Files
now in possession of Scotland Yard must simply be checked for
fingerprints to determine who was the real Ramzi Yousef. Was he the
namesake, or an Iraqi plant?

Woolsey bases the suggestion on a book, "Study of Revenge," where the
author attempts to use the evidence presented at the trial to prove
that Saddam Hussein's Iraq is responsible for the attempt to topple the
towers. A summary of the book is located at the following site.

If it is true that a government sponsored the 1993 attack, then the
current theory that there are semi-autonomous terrorist "cells" will
shown to be flawed, the book says. The "cell" theory is an important
assumption of the current investigation.

The investigation of the September 11 attacks is ongoing. The Justice
Department has leaked several stories to the media stating they have
linked the hijackers to bin Laden's network. No one seems to be
considering any other alternative, such as the Saddam Hussein theory.
