The Baluch Connection: Is Khalid Sheikh Mohammed tied to Baghdad?

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, is a Pakistani Baluch. So is Ramzi Yousef, who masterminded the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. In 1995, together with a third Baluch, Abdul Hakam Murad, the two collaborated in an unsuccessful plot to bomb 12 U.S. airplanes. Years later, as head of al Qaeda's military committee, Mohammed reportedly planned the 1998 U.S. Embassy bombings, as well as the bombing of the USS Cole in 2000.

I've read the book and it is fantastic. Khalid is Ramzi's uncle.

Ever hear back from KSM's classmate at A&T?

One thing that will not exist when we enter Baghdad are the Iraqi Intelligence files. The Baathists will have to destroy all traces in order to disappear around the world.

Fascinating. For me there need not be a link between al-Qaeda and Iraq to justify taking Saddam out, but this is important as the anti-war types seem to think it a pivotal factor.
