Another excellent find!

You commented 

I am very surprised that no one else in the Intelligence Community picked up on the content of this document that shows Ayam Al Zawahiri visit to Iraq. In fact the Senate Intelligence Committee per the influence of the democrats went all the way to deny that such a visit took place despite that they were reporting about it.

I'm not surprised.  They've proved that if anyone in the intelligence community, government or MSM picks up on any of this they'll destroy them using "any means necessary."

That won't stop me from forwarding this to my congresswoman and senators, however, as well as every presstitute I can think of.

So what was the Egyptian Embassy about?
Was he persecuted by the Muslim Brotherhood for his comments and had to leave the country?

I do know the MB were divided over how to change the world.
Zawahiri wanted to attack the Far Enemy (the Westerners) and Egyptian MB wanted to attack the Near Enemy (”Corrupted” Middle Eastern Governments like Egypt)

How many times did Zawahiri get arrested before his involvement in Luxor Bombing?

Sorry if I’m sounding like a Doubting Thomas but I know how the left operates....they will find any holes in your agrument and rip you to threads.

Do you have an extra translator to proof your work?

Can the USG release the documents again? They should...just leave out instructions on how to make a nuclear device etc.

This is crazy keeping everything a secret. What is our government concerned about? French reputation? The French did build Saddam’s nuclear plant in the early eighties.

Don’t worry I still like what your doing. Its so mysterious.

Sincerely,
Miss Marple

Nothing to see here the left wing traitors and their media will tell us. They will say “How do you know that Bush and Cheney did not send someone to put this forged document in an Al Qaeda camp and claim it is an Al Qaeda document”...

The translation was done by the Pentagon translator as I linked it in the original post. I read the original Arabic document and I agree with their translation.

Al Zawahiri left Egypt in 1985 to Peshawar Pakistan to raise a new breed of islamic terrorist there and later on he and his followers joined Bin Laden and Al Qaeda. I do not think that Zawahiri was persecuted for say by the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood where he was a member, but after he left Egypt he did not like that the Muslim Brotherhood he started disagreeing with them on what to do with the Egyptian government and other issues.

Zawahiri was arrested by the Egyptian government from 1981 to 1984 after he was found a part of the plot that assasinated ex-Egyptian President Al Sadat. I do not know about other times when Al Zawahiri was arrested.

Thanks PH. Imagine before the war in Iraq started the President said this:

" We have irrefutable proof that Al Zawahiri visited Iraq in 1998 and that Saddam intelligence met with Bin Laden in Sudan in 1995 per the authority of Saddam". I think this would have gone a long way to prove that Saddam regime is a terrorist regime who had dealings with Al Qaeda and that after 9/11 such a terrorist regime must go.

along with the terror bases in Iraq prior to the war...it’s obvious that Saddam was helping with the training of radical Islamists. Just the darkside trying to cast doubt on a war we have to fight...that’s much of the msm and the liberals; unwitting dupes. They don’t know how confused they really are. If it wasn’t for our military we and they could say goodbye to any kind of a decent life!

Traitors and liars will do what they can do best, betray the nation and lie to the American people, that is the democrat party and their media.

This is what Cheney said about the Iraq/al Queda Connection.

The document does not indicate which year he did the visit but it is for sure after the year 1995 based on the context of the document

Project for New American Century: Allawi on Iraq and al Qaeda

I would like to draw your attention to a May 23, 2005 Agence France-Presse (AFP) article, “Al-Qaeda Number Two Visited Saddam’s Iraq: Former PM.” AFP reported on a recent interview that former Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi gave to the Saudi newspaper Al-Hayat. According to Allawi, bin Ladin’s top lieutenant, Ayman al-Zawahiri, visited Baghdad in September 1999, and al-Zarqawi entered Iraq “probably around the same time,” “began to set up cells,” and also “forged links with Ansar al-Islam.” AFP further reported:

Allawi, a former Baathist dissident who lived in exile at the time, said he had “confirmation” of Zawahiri's visit to Iraq and that the fugitive Egyptian Islamist had entered “under an assumed name” during the ninth Islamic popular congress held in Baghdad in September 1999. “Islamists who led terrorist networks in the world” met on the sidelines of the congress, he said. Allawi said Saddam's regime maintained contacts with militant groups via “one Faruk Hijazi, who was eventually named ambassador to Turkey and then to a (North African) country.” He said Hijazi was “arrested after the fall of Saddam's regime (in April 2003) while trying to infiltrate into Iraqi territory.”

Allawi’s comments, if accurate, build upon the work of the September 11 Commission Report, which stated:

In March 1998, after Bin Ladin’s public fatwa against the United States, two al Qaeda members reportedly went to Iraq to meet with Iraqi intelligence. In July, an Iraqi delegation traveled to Afghanistan to meet first with the Taliban and then with Bin Ladin. Sources reported that one, or perhaps both, of these meetings was apparently arranged through Bin Ladin’s Egyptian deputy, Zawahiri, who had ties of his own to the Iraqis.

Similar meetings between Iraqi officials and Bin Ladin or his aides may have occurred in 1999 during a period of some reported strains with the Taliban (p. 66).

While the report also stated that “to date we have seen no evidence that these or the earlier contacts ever developed into a collaborative operational relationship,” commission chairman Thomas Kean was quick to note that “there was no question in our minds that there was a relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda.” Allawi’s remarks, should they hold up to scrutiny, would suggest a more substantial relationship between Iraq and terror groups than is usually portrayed in the major media.

(Additional information on Iraq’s ties to al Qaeda may be found in our report, “Iraq: Setting the Record Straight,” at www.newamericancentury.org/iraq-042005.pdf.)

According to translations of Captured Iraqi documents that we posted here on FR, Saddam regime was training “Foreign Arab Terrorists”, called “Arab Feedayeen” since the year 2000.

Excellent info. Thanks TexKat. So Allwai was aware of Zawahiri visit to Iraq in 1999 and this document proves it.
