Was Saddam Regime a Broker for Terror Alliances?

[mad1]

"Newly declassified documents captured by U.S. forces indicate that Saddam Hussein's inner circle not only actively reached out to the Taliban rulers of Afghanistan and terror-based jihadists in the region, but also hosted discussions with a known Al Qaeda operative about creating jihad training "centers," possibly in Baghdad.

Ray Robison, a former member of the CIA-directed Iraq Survey Group (ISG), supervised a group of linguists to analyze, archive and exploit the hundreds of captured documents and materials of Saddam's regime.

This is the final installment in a three-part series concerning a notebook kept by an Iraqi Intelligence Service (IIS) agent called Khaled Abd El Majid, and covers events taking place in 1999. The translation is provided by Robison's associate, known here as “Sammi.”

The first two translations from this notebook detailed an agreement between members of the Saddam regime and the Taliban to establish diplomatic and intelligence based cooperation. This final translation further advances the link between the Saddam regime and world-wide Islamic Jihad terrorism.

The relationship between the Taliban and Saddam appears to have been mediated by a Pakistani named Maulana Fazlur Rahman. Another document captured in Afghanistan and written by an Al Qaeda operative confirms the relationship between the Maulana and Saddam. The translation provided here includes an early 1999 meeting between the director of the IIS and the Maulana.

A third meeting involves an Islamist representing Bangladesh that we believe to be Fazlur Rahman Khalil. Another page of the notebook indicates Khalil is coming or came to Iraq. Khalil is a Taliban/Al Qaeda associate who signed the 1998 fatwa from Usama bin Laden declaring war on the United States."

This is the final installment...

Thank God!! Considering the number of replies so far, I'd say this is a moot, meaningless, and dead issue. It should be the final installment. But keep snatching at those little straws of hope. Who knows, if they dig long enough, spend enough tax payer money, and turn over enough rocks, they might even find evidence he had a fling with one of his aides.

And Saudi Arabia may be the most prolific of all the middle eastern countries turning out terrorists.

To finish the full statement and not only what personally applies,

Shame on me, I forgot that Sadaam had no links to terror even though it is in black in white by his intelligence agency. What more is needed to show positive proof of a link to terror, when will you accept that it is reality?
