Here's a FR search on Salman Pak.

Two titles out of that search:

9/11 Bombshell: Judge Rules Saddam Trained Hijackers [Salman Pak]
Yellowcake, Forged Documents, and Salman Pak

This better work. Don't think I've ever linked a FR search before.

Limbaugh to WH: What about Salman Pak?

Last Wednesday, Iraq made its own response to the news of the meetings between al-Ani and Atta. Tariq Aziz, Saddam's Deputy Prime Minister, denied Iraq had anything to do with the hijackings, saying: 'Even if that [the meetings] happened, that would mean nothing, for a diplomat could meet many people during his duty, whether he was at a restaurant or elsewhere, and even if he met Mohamed Atta, that would not mean the Iraqi diplomat was involved.'

Yet the striking thing about the meetings is the lengths to which Atta went in order to attend them. In June last year, he flew to Prague from Hamburg, only to be refused entry because he had failed to obtain a visa. Three days later, now equipped with the paperwork, Atta was back for a visit of barely 24 hours. He flew from the Czech Republic to the US, where he began to train as pilot. In early April 2001, when the conspiracy's planning must have been nearing its final stages, Atta was back in Prague for a further brief visit - a journey of considerable inconvenience.

On 17 April, the Czechs expelled al-Ani, who had diplomatic cover, as a hostile spy. Last night, a senior US diplomatic source told The Observer that Atta was not the only suspected al-Qaeda member who met al-Ani and other Iraqi agents in Prague. He said the Czechs monitored at least two further such meetings in the months before 11 September.

It should be easy to check the Habbush memo, using the boxes of material obtained by the Telegraph's David Blair following his entry into the bombed Ministry of Intelligence building (see Telegraph article, 7 May 2003). Apparently, Habbush's signature was on certain memos, and there are those the CIA and others who should be able to determine the validity of the report.
