Giuliani: Saddam's Interrogation Could Show 9/11 Link

Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who guided New York City through the worst attack ever on U.S. soil, said Friday that Saddam Hussein's capture could yield additional evidence that Iraq played a "direct" role in the 9/11 attacks.

"I don't know if evidence is going to get discovered or not - you know, direct evidence of a link. It may, it may," Giuliani told radio host Don Imus. "It may still get developed with the interrogations of [Saddam] and the people we find."

Giuliani said Americans were right to believe that Hussein played, at the very least, an indirect role in the 9/11 attacks, describing the Iraqi dictator as part of terrorist network "of separate individuals who organize and then they help each other."

The former mayor noted that Iraq had provided "land where terrorists could train . . and they supplied money."

"If you were to list the pillars of the world's terrorist organizations, [Saddam is] one of the big ones," he added.

But Giuliani clearly indicated that he suspects a stronger tie between the deposed dictator and the 9/11 attacks, reiterating, "It may still turn out that there's evidence of a more direct connection."

In recent weeks, a Defense Department memo released to the Senate Intelligence Committee cited a Czech intelligence report indicating that Iraqi intelligence had funneled money to 9/11 ringleader Mohamed Atta.

On Sunday, the London Telegraph reported that new documents unearthed by Iraq's governing coalition showed that Atta had trained in Baghdad to attack U.S. targets just two months before 9/11.
