Senate: No prewar Saddam-al-Qaida ties
By JIM ABRAMS, Associated Press Writer 43 minutes ago
There's no evidence Saddam Hussein had ties with al-Qaida, according to
a Senate report on prewar intelligence that Democrats say undercuts
President Bush's justification for invading Iraq.
Bush administration officials have insisted on a link between the Iraqi
regime and terror leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Intelligence agencies,
however, concluded there was none.
Republicans countered that there was little new in the report and
Democrats were trying to score election-year points with it.
The declassified document released Friday by the intelligence committee
also explores the role that inaccurate information supplied by the
anti-Saddam exile group the Iraqi National Congress had in the march to
war.
It concludes that postwar findings do not support a 2002 intelligence
community report that Iraq was reconstituting its nuclear program,
possessed biological weapons or ever developed mobile facilities for
producing biological warfare agents.
