"The Sudanese, to protect their own ties with Iraq, reportedly persuaded bin Laden to cease this support and arranged for contacts between Iraq and al Qaeda."
A senior Iraqi intelligence officer reportedly made three visits to Sudan, finally meeting bin Laden in 1994.
Bin Laden is said to have requested space to establish training camps, as well as assistance in procuring weapons, but Iraq apparently never responded.
"There have been reports that contacts between Iraq and al Qaeda also occurred after bin Laden had returned to Afghanistan, but they do not appear to have resulted in a collaborative relationship," the report said.
Did anyone else read these lines from the report?
Seems that good old OBL did meet with Iraqis, But Iraq APPARENTLY never responded.
So if Iraq was to respond they would have done it in plain view while the world was watching them after GW1.
And the last paragraph also contains the word appear, appear to whom?
Money that is being exchanged between terrorist groups is done out in the open? For the whole world to see?
