A newly released pre-war Iraqi document indicates that an official representative of Saddam Hussein's government met with Osama bin Laden in Sudan on February 19, 1995 after approval by Saddam Hussein.
And what were they planning?
"carrying out joint operations against foreign forces" in Saudi Arabia.
And what of WMD?
This document is consistent with the Report of the Special Advisor to the Director of Central Intelligence, which described a pattern of deception and concealment on the part of Saddam Hussein's government towards the U.N. inspectors in the mid to late 90's. Hussein halted all cooperation with those inspectors and expelled them in October 1998.
You have to have something to conceal it.
These documents are just the tip of the iceberg and it will be interesting to see what remains to come out.
