Pentagon/FMSO website about Iraq Pre-War Documents ^ | March 21 2006 | jveritas

[jveritas]

In the Pentagon/FMSO document ISGZ-2004-009247 there is a clear report about the relation between Iraq and Bin Laden that dated back to 1995. This document contains a 9 page report from the Iraqi Intelligence Apparatus and it is titled “The Saudi Opposition and Achieving the Relation and Contact With Them”. In the report they talk about there meeting with Osama Bin Laden and that Bin Laden in 1995 and how to establish relations wiht him. In the meeting Bin Laden asked the Iraqis for joint operations with them against the Foreign forces (US military) in the land of Hijaz (Saudia or Saudi Arabia).

I did a partial translation of the report that is related to Osama Bin Laden

The Saudi Opposition and Achieving the Relation and Contact With Them

(Translation of part of Page 4)

2. The Comission of Reform and Advise

Lead by the Saudi Osama Bin Laden who belongs to a wealthy Saudi family with her roots go back to Hadramoot and connected strongly with the ruling family in Saudia, and he is one of the leaders of the Arab Afghan who volunteered for Jihad in Afghanistan, and after the expulsion of the Soviets he moved to stay in Sudan in the year 1992 after the arrival of the Islamists to power in Sudan.

And because of his stands against the Saudi Royal family because of the foreign presence inside it, the Saudi authorities made a decision to withdraw his Saudi citizenship, and we moved toward The Comission from our side and through the following:

Translation of page 5

A. During the visit of the Sudanese Dr. Abrahim Al Sanoosi to the country and his meeting with Mr. Uday Saddam Hussein on 13/12/1994 and with the presence of the respectful Sir the Director of the Apparatus he indicated that the opposition person Osama Bin Laden who is staying in Sudan and who was cautious and fears that he will be accused by his opponents that he became an agent for Iraq, is ready to meet with him in Sudan (The results of the meeting were written to the Honorable Presidency according to our letter 872 on 17/12/1994).

B. The approval of the Honorable Presidency was granted to meet with the opposition person Osama Bin Laden by the Apparatus according to letter 128 on 11/1/1995 (attachment 6) and the meting with him was completed by Mr. M.A ex-4th Directory in Sudan and with the presence of the Sudanese Dr. Abrahim AL Sanoosi on 19/2/1995 and a discussion occurred about his organization, and he requested the broadcasting of Sheikh Sleiman AL Awada (who has influence in Saudia and outside since he is a known and influential religious personality) and dedicate a program for them through the station directed inside the country and make joint operations against the forces of infidels in the land of Hijaz ( the Honorable Presidency has been notified with the details of the meeting according to our letter 370 in 4/3/1995 attachment 7).

Translation of page 6

C. The approval of Mr. President the Leader God protect him was granted to dedicate and program for them through the station directed and we leave to develop the relation and cooperation between the two sides what open in front of it in discussion and agreement through other cooperation doors. The Sudanese side was informed about the approval of the Honorable Presidency above through the representative of the respectful Sir the Director of the Apparatus our ambassador in Khartoom.

D. Due to the latest conditions in Sudan and accusing her harboring of supporting and harboring terrorism it was agreed with the opposition person the Saudi Osama Bin Laden to leave Sudan to another place where he left Khartoom in the month of July 1996 and the information indicate that he is Afghanistan at the present moment. There is stil relation with him through the Sudanese side and we work in the present moment to activate this relation with him through a new channel in light of the current place where he stays.

We shall never forget the Khobar Tower terrorist attacks. I hope that these documents and many others to come will make the CIA and FBI reopen some of the old investigations.

Right,....course the results of the room search are sealed by the court.....hmmmm?!

But apparently the detectives comments made it to the OKC Newspaper, although I haven't read it.

There is probably a thread on it though!

Guess I'll do a search later.

I am just a humble engineer my fellow freeper :) and just doing my duty.

Any time, you welcome :) We are all in debt to our brave troops.

It's possible to translate a hand written Arabic document if the software has been written to "read" the document and turn it into Arabic text. There are programs that do this with the various alphabets as well as Japanese and Chinese letters.

I would just like to help, thank you for your valuable time.

"Yep. But nobody listens to us! LOL."
Perhaps the best response as you did is a simple LOL. And no hard feelings to anyone. Not that I meant any.

[jveritas]

Absolutely correct.

[jveritas]

Helen Thomas is despicable hateful left wing kook and today she was questioning the President as if she was talking to Adolf Hitler. But I am very glad that President Bush put her down, it was an excellent thing to hear and see.

" Guess I'll do a search later." Take a walk on the beach, this stuff is going to drive you nuts.

[usmcobra]

Here is a program that will scan arabic text and turns it into text files.

The same source has translation programs that can turn text files into translated (Arabic to English) docs.

[MNJohnnie]

perhaps I should say the case is stronger if we had multiple documents as opposed to multiple press reports from the same document!

What Press reports? As far as I can tell ONLY Free Republic is covering this.

[KC Burke]

Yeah, but "put her down" is probably not an appropriate credit to the civil and artful manner that he communicated past her to the listening public.

[Marine_Uncle]

Thanks. I will check it out. I had in the past downloaded some stuff but was not satisfied with. Perhaps you have struck the lode stone.

[Marine_Uncle]

I had looked at this tool some time back. It will not run on Windows ME plateform which I am using. But thanks for the effort.

[usmcobra]

Here is another one, this one uses a bit more memory

[SunkenCiv]

This may be a duplicate, not sure, but worth a look otherwise.

[ex-Texan]
