Operation Blessed July
Another document released by the FMSO from the captured files of the Iraqi Intelligence Services shows that Uday Hussein, in 1999, ordered a series of bombings and assassinations in London, Iran, and in the autonomous areas of Iraq. Document ISGZ-2004-018948 shows a response from a Saddam Fedayeen operative to Uday himself outlining the plan, known as Operation Blessed July:UPDATE: Thomas Joscelyn wrote about this at the Weekly Standard last March: Posted by Captain Ed at 08:31 PM | Comments (6)
The Saddam-Osama Connection
One of the documents released by the FMSO project contains the records of the Iraqi regime's early connections to Osama bin Laden, starting in 1994 and continuing at least through 1997. It comes in the middle of document ISGZ-2004-009247, a review of Iraqi Intelligence Service contacts in the region and summaries of the combined efforts that they produced.
UPDATE: This document provides the prologue to the Feith memo. Remember how many people discounted that intelligence assessment?
UPDATE II: Laurie Mylroie had this translated herself from the original Arabic-only release in March.
