He said, “Two men walked into my office one day and asked for a tour. I said ‘sure’ and then they asked me where they could park the buses. I thought to myself, ‘what buses?”’ “It turns out that they had brought up two bus loads of school children from Mexico, unan nounced, because Jose had told them ‘If you're ever in Weslaco, come by the Center.’ It was a challenge for me to come up with a half-day schedule for them but it was a great experience for the children,” Santa Ana said. “He’s an ambassador for A&M and the Center. It’s like his home here - a second home. He does his best to make people feel comfortable and welcome here.” Amador will take a seven-month sabbatical start ing in January before his retirement becomes official. Sept. 11 commission: No evidence of al-Qaida links to Saddam WASHINGTON (AP) - Rebuffing Bush administration claims, the independent commission investi gating the Sept. 11 attacks said Wednesday no evidence exists that al-Qaida had strong ties to Saddam Hussein. In hair-raising detail, the commission said the terror network had envisioned a NEWS IN BRIEF much larger attack and is working hard to strike again. Although Osama bin Laden asked for help from Iraq in the mid-1990s, Saddam’s government never responded, according to a report by the commission staff based on interviews with govern ment intelligence and law enforce ment officials. The report asserted “no credible evidence" has emerged that Iraq was involved in the Sept. 11 strikes. Al-Qaida is actively trying to replicate the destruction of that day, the report said, though the terrorist network has been weak ened by losing its sanctuary in Afghanistan and many leaders to U.S. strikes and arrests. The terror organization also is trying to obtain a nuclear weapon and is "extremely interested" in chemi cal, radiological and biological attacks, including the use of anthrax, it said.
