Con Coughlin wrote a follow-up story about the Iraqi intelligence memo linking Mohammad Atta to the Saddam regime. It appeared in the Telegraph on 12/14/2003.
The report claims the memo was handwritten by former Iraqi intelligence chief Tahir Jalil Habbush al-Tikriti. It is addressed to the Iraqi president, and describes training Atta received at Abu Nidal's residence in Iraq. It mentions his leadership of a team that would be attacking "targets".
I'm still unable to find any clarifications of the legitimacy of the memo, but the Telegraph also published an August, 2002 story about the killing of Nidal by Iraqi agents, purportedly over a disagreement between Nidal and the regime over reactivating his terror cells and assisting Al Qaeda terrorists fleeing Afghanistan.
It's become common knowledge that Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11 and was more an enemy than a friend of Al Qaeda. I find it odd that possible evidence to the contrary disappeared from the media without any further examination.
