I insist upon a citation. This either means something

9/11 commission:
Quote:
A senior Iraqi intelligence officer had met Bin Laden in 1994 to hear his requests for space to establish training camps and assistance in procuring weapons - but Iraq had not 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 statement says.

That sure as hell doesn't sound like 'operational ties' to me.

I thought UNSCOM ceased asking to enter Iraq in 1998?
