Music and dancing aside, Al Zawahiri went to Iraq to either work WITH the regime or work AGAINST it. I tend to think there was some limited cooperation. Is there any evidence to suggest Al Zawahiri was trying to take down Saddam’s regime from the inside?
During Saddam brutal regime, not a single man can go to Iraq to work against Saddam without being captured, tortured and killed. He went to Iraq to establish a working relation with Saddam regime.
