Problem Statement

Ia I_a is the excenter of the triangle ABC ABC with respect to A A, and AIa AI_a intersects the circumcircle of ABC ABC at T T. Let X X be a point on TIa TI_a such that XI_a^2\equal{}XA.XT. Draw a perpendicular line from X X to BC BC so that it intersects BC BC in A A'. Define B B' and C C' in the same way. Prove that AA AA', BB BB' and CC CC' are concurrent.
