A circle CC with center O.O. and a line LL which does not touch circle C.C. OQOQ is perpendicular to L,L, QQ is on L.L. PP is on L,L, draw two tangents L1,L2L_1, L_2 to circle C.C. QA,QBQA, QB are perpendicular to L1,L2L_1, L_2 respectively. ( AA on L1,L_1, BB on L2L_2 ). Prove that, line ABAB intersect QOQO at a fixed point.

Original formulation:

A line ll does not meet a circle ω\omega with center O.O. EE is the point on ll such that OEOE is perpendicular to l.l. MM is any point on ll other than E.E. The tangents from MM to ω\omega touch it at AA and B.B. CC is the point on MAMA such that ECEC is perpendicular to MA.MA. DD is the point on MBMB such that EDED is perpendicular to MB.MB. The line CDCD cuts OEOE at F.F. Prove that the location of FF is independent of that of M.M.
