In addition to investigative pieces linking the Iraqi dictator to the 2001 anthrax attacks , Rose conducted interviews with alleged defectors , presented to him by the Iraqi National Congress , who described how Saddam 's elite commandos had trained the hijackers at a top secret Salman Pak facility south of Baghdad .
