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."

Sept 11 mastermind trapped by phone call (ANOTHER AL QAEDA HOLD MUH BEER ALERT)
"A Statement of Conscience"Brought to you bycalling on the "people of the U.S. to resist" American policy, which they claim shows "grave dangers to the people of the world," who want us to join them in resisting "the war and repression that has been loosed on the world by the Bush administration."
The petitioners mock the view that a simple contest exists between "good v. evil," when the real issue is the effort to wage "war abroad and repression at home." Included in their list of such horrible acts of aggression are what they call the "attack" on Afghanistan, the "trail of death and destruction" caused by - Israel - and the blank check the U.S. government wants to kill and bomb whomever it wants.
Their description of America today: a country under the thumb of "repression over society," with free speech "suppressed," groups falsely called "terrorist," a nation they hint sits on the edge of totalitarianism.
Their answer: Refuse orders, resist a draft if instituted and support all "resisters." The "machinery of war" has to be stopped.
Why are these people still here????
Is it a "bleeding heart" thing? I know, I know. Shouldn't be a joking matter, but I don't believe this crap for a minute.
Yes it was. Wish I could remember it word for word. Something like, it makes good foder for late night talk shows, but I'll leave details up to the professionals at the DOD.
I'll get the transcript when they post it on msnbc.
Have seen the Thank you Gov. Jeb commerical, like it very much. I hope the Gov.'s people are busy making new ones with McBride and Reno on tape saying this latest election fiasco it Jeb's fault. He didn't spend any money on improvements and how it's his responsibility to run the election. Both points being flat out lies.
Best part was when they said the models were stumbling all over the runway because they could not see...hee hee
I wonder if after the first model stumbled along if the designer maybe got off his duff and thought to escort the rest down the catwalk?
Those fools better hope they don't have livelihoods that are supported by New Yorkers.
Maybe we could talk hilly into thinking it's all the rage.
we've now declared a war on terrorism, which should be a priority, not Iraq. Brit then asks "Do you believe Saddam Hussein is a threat to the United States?". Unbelievable, the answer is "Not one of the primary threats to the U.S.", in other words, "No". He then goes on to criticize that the "war on terror" has "bogged down". (Exactly Tommy Daschle's line.)
You know in Cheney's interview on Rush's show when he said we have more sensitive reports to release to congress... I'm thinking they (the admin) waited purposely to bring the info of al Qaeda training by Saddam out today so Daschole and his cronies will look bad on the Sunday shows. It's like they don't read the news before they get their make-up on for these shows.
This has to be it because Graham is a flip-flopper. Whatever is popular is where he's at, so he's been strong on WOT but the dim version on everything else.
How can you say that Iraq is not our biggest threat if you've read a report that tells you al Qaeda is trained by Saddam.
