I think it was in Feb or March of '03. I searched Google and CNN, but only found passing references & opinion columns. I'm looking for a hard news article from the MSM, to convince a doubting family member.
I would also like to know more about this.
I have heard figures being bandied about but have never seen any confirmation of this.
It would be good to have some sources to confirm what I already know.
Show 'em the Fox story first. Then, when they sneer, hit 'em with the BBC.
Interesting that the Fox article is from March of '02, and BBC's is dated March '03...
Many thanks.

Not only paying PLO members -- he also trained and financed Al Qaeda.
Between the Senate Intelligent and 9/11 Commission Reports, the following was stated:
1. 78 reports from different sources provided information that Hussein's regime was actively training Iraqi intelligence soldiers for terrorist attacks against America and American interests.
2. Iraq provided Al Qaeda with chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear training and bomb making.
3. Direct meetings between senior Iraqi military officers and top Al Qaeda operatives took place between the early 90'sand 2003.
4. An Iraqi national was present during at least one pre planning 9/11 meeting.
5. Some interesting observations were made about Iraq's involvement in the first WTC bombing in 1993. This is not a surprise to those who have been paying attention.
6. Iraqi knew that 9/11 was coming. This was in their July 21, 2001 state-run newspaper:
Baath party writer Naeem Abd Muhalhal predicted that bin Laden would attack the United States and "he will try to bomb the Pantagon after he destroys the White House." The article said that OBL "will strike America on the arm that is already huring" and that the United States "will curse the memory of Frank Sinatra every time he hears his songs" which is a reference to Sinatra's song NY, NY.
