| Mohammed Atta met with Iraqi intelligence |
| 2001-09-18 |
CBS News has learned the United States received an intelligence report that Mohammed Atta, the hijacker who is named as the pilot of the first plane to strike the World Trade Center, met early this year somewhere in Europe with the head of the Iraqi intelligence service. U.S. intelligence officials believe the report to be accurate, but do not know if it is "smoking gun" evidence of Iraqi involvement. It is, however, the first solid indicator that a foreign state may have aided, abetted or had prior knowledge of Tuesday's attacks. |
