To: shadowman who wrote (11526 ) 8/27/2005 8:58:32 PM From: KLP Respond to of 20039 Aviation Week is a credible source...and some of you think the LA Times is as well... Here are some of the links to Salman Pak...images.google.com Salman Pak, Iraq, a known biological and chemical weapons facility located about 20 miles southeast of Baghdad. This Satellite photo was taken on April 25, 2000 demonstrating an airliner, among other tools, for terror training which has been linked to the September 11, 2001 attacks. Look at the airliner fuselage in the bottom lefthand side of the image. What's an airliner doing within a highly secure bioweapons facility that has no runways? In fact, there are multiple eyewitnesses who have stated that non-Iraqi Islamic fundamentalists from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the Gulf States were brought to Salman Pak to learn the “art” of hijacking in groups of 4-5 men using unconventional weapons such as short knives, etc. Khidhir Hamza, Ph.D., the head of Iraq’s nuclear program for over twenty years (“Saddam’s bomb maker”) testified to these facts before the Senate on July 31, 2002. On April 6, 2003, our Marines went into the Salman Pak facility, found the airliner and other tools for terror training (all as described in the image above) as well as non-Iraqi Islamic fundamentalists from Egypt, Syria, and other Gulf States. It will be interesting to see what materials they pull out of there. images.google.com The link below is an article from the LA TImes, by Michael Dornheim, not ususally known as a "right wing" newspaper..... In fact, the opposite is how it is known....images.google.com And not wanting to overwhelm anyone, nor their fingers, here's a link that shows MANY images about Salman Pak....images.google.com
