SADDAM BOOSTING BIOTERROR
By CLEMENTE LISI
August 4, 2002 -- Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein is suspected of planning to arm Palestinian terrorist groups with biological weapons to attack American and Israeli targets, a new report says.
A report containing a detailed assessment of the Iraqi leader's weapons of mass destruction shows that Saddam has packed his arsenal with biological weapons, The Times of London said yesterday.
Meanwhile, the United States accused Iraq yesterday of trying to dodge its commitments to the United Nations on disarmament, while Baghdad insisted its offer of talks with U.N. arms-control inspectors was genuine.
The U.S. aim of toppling Saddam has recently drawn fresh complaints from Europe and the Middle East, where leaders warn against a military assault on Iraq .
