RAGUE - Hijack suspect Mohamed Atta met an Iraqi agent in Prague to discuss a possible terrorist attack against the headquarters of the US-funded Radio Free Europe, Czech Prime Minister Milos Zeman confirmed yesterday.
Zeman's statement came just weeks after Czech authorities said that Atta, the man believed to be at the controls of the first jet to slam into the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, met in Prague with Ahmed Khalil Ibrahim Samir al-Ani.
