Jane’s reports that Israel’s military-intelligence service, Aman, claims that the men directing the mission included al-Zawahiri and a Lebanese man named Imad Mughniyeh, who is believed to have been part of a 1997 plot to blow up an Israeli El Al airliner above Tel Aviv. Jane’s also reports that Saddam Hussein’s son Qusay may have been a direct link between Iraqi intelligence and Mughniyeh, and suspects Iraq is the state that sponsored the suicide attacks on the World Trade Center towers in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington.
Hussein reportedly ordered Qusay, commander of the Special Security Forces in Iraq, to create a new terrorist force called the al-Nida to carry out “a number of secret missions” all over the world. Qusay activated dormant networks of Iraqi intelligence operations in the West to support bin Laden, notes Yossef Bodansky, an internationally renowned military-threat analyst and author of Bin Laden: The Man Who Declared War on America. One of their terrorist plots concerned the 2000 Summer Olympic Games in Australia. Local police foiled the scheme when a group of terrorists was caught after they beat up a Muslim who refused to join the group.
