R. examples - "recent" isn't important. You may wish to use the passage of time to give our enemies a pass, I don't. "recent" is also arbitrary. IMO you are keying in on recent examples to justify overlooking those you wish to dismiss.

However the most recent example that comes to mind was the slaying of Lawrence Foley in October 2002:

• In October, Lawrence Foley, an official with the U.S. Agency for International Development, was gunned down in Amman, Jordan. "The captured assassin says his cell received money and weapons from Zarqawi for that murder, " Powell said. An associate of the gunman escaped to Iraq, he added.

You want five examples of terrorists given sanctuary by Saddam (btw "given sanctuary" is the term the sainted Richard Clarke used in his 911 testimony):

1) Abu Abbas
2) Khala Khadr al-Salahat
3) Abu Nidal
4) Musab al-Zarqawi
5) Abdul Rahman Yasin
