- Peace Garden: Saddam and friends

Saddam and friends

Friday, March 24, 2006

Salt Lake Tribune reports that ABC is talking about a pre-war document that suddenly has surfaced.

an official representative of Saddam Hussein's government met with Osama bin Laden in Sudan in February 1995, ABC News reported.
The document says the meeting was approved by Saddam, ABC said on its Web site. Saddam also agreed to a request at the meeting by bin Laden to broadcast the lectures of a radical Saudi preacher and to carry out ''joint operations against foreign forces'' in Saudi Arabia, ABC said.
The report of the U.S. 9/11 Commission that investigated the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks has already concluded that bin Laden met with an Iraqi intelligence officer in late 1994 or early 1995. The document ABC referenced suggests for the first time that the contacts were personally approved by Saddam, ABC said.
The document is handwritten and has no official seal, ABC said.
Ooops. Wrong picture - that's Saddam meeting with a different terrorist.

Nice timing for this report. A few point bump in the polls?
