This for all those who proclaimed that Saddam had no links to terrorism. The terrorists certainly love to proclaim the justification to their hedonism in memory of the guy who supposedly hated them and kept them in check. Remember the insurgent guerrilla groups that attacked the US forces during and after the invasion? Was it not found that these were specially trained units by Saddam to exact the kind of attacks they carried out because he knew there was no way he could stand in defense against the American power.
Saddam did finance many of the Sunni terror groups with his oil money. Like any big time gangster he kept a lot of people on his bankroll to call upon for favors.
