the world trade center that attack was developed and executed by an iraqi american who came from samara iraq this man fled back to iraq following the attack the iraqi intelligence detained him and put him on trial we were willing to extradite him he was an american and we had no right to keep him but we wanted to have guarantees that the extradition would take place within the official framework but often when handing such a man over both sides are supposed to sign statements of transfer and acceptance in presence of an intermediary we drew up those statements which were very explicit and the americans refused to sign the acceptance statement. and the only reason they did that was to claim that iraq was reluctant to cooperate in the war with terror that's right. it is said that you've penetrated into the us department of defense is that true we have recruited a high ranking officer from the united states department of defense however not all of this information was genuine a part of it was supposed to mislead us this offer say even unveiled a general scenario of the war with iraq the us
