British Prime Minister Tony Blair's promised dossier on Iraq is to reveal that Saddam Hussein trained some of Osama bin Laden's key lieutenants, The Sunday Telegraph reported.
The dossier is also expected to disclose that the Iraqi leader has reconstructed three plants to manufacture biological and chemical weapons, it said.
Blair, facing opposition from within his own Labour Party over going to war with Iraq without U.N. backing, has recalled parliament to discuss the issue later this month and promised to publish a dossier detailing evidence against Saddam Hussein.
The Sunday Telegraph said a draft version of the dossier contains detailed information on how two alleged leading al Qaeda members, Abu Zubair and Rafid Fatah, underwent training in Iraq and are still linked to the Baghdad government.
It said Abu Zubair was an Iraqi intelligence officer trained in using terror against the Kurds in Northern Iraq. Rafid Fatah also worked with him against the Kurds, the paper added.
They were then said to have joined ranks with Osama bin Laden, accused by Washington of being the mastermind behind last year's September 11 hijack attacks.
On reports that Saddam Hussein has reconstructed three weapons plants, the paper said evidence was based on "worrying activity" captured by American satellite photographs.
One security official, quoted by the Sunday Telegraph, said the photos "clearly show very worrying activity of rebuilding work at these plants which we already knew were being used for developing chemical and biological weapons. That is what Saddam is doing again."

I highly recommend it.
In all honesty, I can sympathize with Ole Crusty about the bags under her eyes. Women our age just cannot burn the candle at both ends without paying the price.
I know Granny, but if I had just earned 8 million dollars for writing a book. I think I would have done something about my bags. If I had the money??? I would.
Happy Anniversary !
If I had the TIME, I would. I checked into it. The time it would take in hiding while the swelling and bruising subsided is just incredible. Who in the world has 3 to 4 wks to burn? Certainly not me. I've come to the conclusion that I should wear my bags and sags with honor. I have earned them the hard way.
. He was a hard-working American in his prime enjoying the fruits of his labor, only to have his life cut tragically short by those who envy our way of life. He harbored no ill will toward Muslims or their beliefs; he had no political agenda. Yet he was murdered simply for going to work and doing his job. And that pisses me off. And it should piss off every American who aspires to create a better life for themselves.
Jim Patch, a candidate vying for a seat on the Des Moines school board, said Thursday he is opposed to linking high school graduation requirements with students' reading abilities. "How can we take a bright kid that is having trouble reading and tell them, "You can't graduate?" " Patch asked. "If they are doing well in other subjects, are we going to tell them they can't get a high school diploma?"
How can a student do well in any subject if he can't read?
Patch, a retired Des Moines teacher who has been endorsed by the teachers union, ['nuff said] has said during candidates' forums and other venues that many people have dyslexia or other brain-based learning disabilities that inhibit their ability to learn to read. ...
Patch, at a forum this week, expanded his comments, saying students shouldn't be denied a high school diploma just because they are poor readers. If diplomas are withheld, "we could have a lot of future architects and doctors out there that aren't going to graduate," Patch said in an interview.
We certainly should have people who can't read performing heart surgery or designing skyscrapers full of people! Yikes! Des Moines Register.
John Gibson just asked Senator Kyle: "Isn't it odd that President Bush has now brought France on board, but he can't get Senator Daschle to go along"?
LOL!
