Is it just me or the 'Iraq was linked with terrorists' excuses and explanations getting weeker and weaker?
'Uh, Iraq had an embassy in a country where we think a lot of terrorists might of come from..."
Yeah, and the US has an embassy in Saudi Arabia. Your point is?
Wow, that article has something for everyone! It's like an James Bond movie! Explosions, remote controled car bombs, revenge, conspiricies... great stuff...Iraqi linked to Bush snr held
Washington - US forces apprehended a former senior Iraqi intelligence official on Friday near the Syrian border in Iraq, netting a figure associated with an alleged 1993 plot to assassinate former president George Bush in Kuwait, a US official said.
US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said Hijazi's capture was "significant."
"He could know a lot of history," said General Richard Myers, the chair of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The 1993 plot called for killing Bush with remote-controlled car bombs that would be detonated as he made a triumphal visit to Kuwait City honouring him for the 1991 liberation of Kuwait from Iraqi occupation.
The United States retaliated in June 1993 by firing 23 sea-launched cruise missiles at the headquarters of the Iraqi intelligence service.
Hijazi also is reported to have met in the past with Osama bin Laden, the mastermind of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. But US officials were unable to corroborate those reports.
"The fact that Iraq's intelligence service is basically a terrorist organisation run through their embassies, that would seem like a likely connection," said the official, who asked not to be identified.
"There was a large al-Qaeda presence in Tunisia," the official added.
