Saddam Hussein’s Iraq had extensive ties to terrorist organizations,
including Al Qaeda, according to an official report published by the
Pentagon’s Institute for Defense Analyses and released through the Joint
Forces Command.
That report, Saddam and Terrorism: Emerging Insights from Captured Iraqi
Documents, came up with some startling revelations in its 59 pages:
• Saddam’s Iraq trained terrorists for use inside and outside Iraq and
in 1999 sent 10 terrorist-training graduates to London to carry out
attacks throughout Europe. (Page 1)
• Saddam’s Iraq stockpiled munitions (including explosives, missile
launchers and silencer-equipped small arms) at its embassies in the
Middle East, Asia and parts of Europe. (Pages 3-4)
• In September of 2001, Saddam’s Iraq sought out and compiled a list of
43 suicide-bomb volunteers in a “Martyrdom Project.” (Pages 7-8)
• The report contains language from a captured Iraqi document which
references an attempted assassination of Danielle Mitterand, wife of
French President Francois Mitterand, by car bomb. (Page 11)
