This is stunning. It inspired me to Google Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein 1999, since I noticed all of these articles are from that time, but no links, and I wanted to see for myself.
I came up with another article that reports a similar story:
Saddam link to Bin Laden
By Julian Borger in Washington Saturday February 6, 1999 The Guardian
Saddam Hussein's regime has opened talks with Osama bin Laden, bringing closer the threat of a terrorist attack using chemical, biological or nuclear weapons, according to US intelligence sources and Iraqi opposition officials.
The key meeting took place in the Afghan mountains near Kandahar in late December. The Iraqi delegation was led by Farouk Hijazi, Baghdad's ambassador in Turkey and one of Saddam's most powerful secret policemen, who is thought to have offered Bin Laden asylum in Iraq.

Nice to see the President at that time was on top of this (or someone) and doing something to protect our National Security. CLinton legacy: the dream lives on.
