Yeah, that was in their great effort to link it to Afganistan and Saddam. I remember the stories they put out that Bin Laden had met Saddam in Iraq just before 9/11. They even had a bogus photo taken from the airport.

Today, Perelman stands by his reporting. I asked him if his sources in the Mossad denied the story. "Nobody stopped talking to me", he said
