The ties between Iraq and terrorism are extensive and well documented.

• Intelligence shows a pattern of contacts between Iraq’s intelligence agents and high level representatives of Al-Qaeda going back more than a decade.

• We know of a meeting between Ayman Al Zawahiri and Saddam Hussein in 1993.

• We know of other meetings in Baghdad between Al Qaeda and High Iraqi officials.

• In the two years prior to 9/11 we know that Iraqi intelligence officers traveled to Afghanistan several times to meet with Zawahiri.

• In the Al-Qaeda camps in Afghanistan, we found evidence in written documents, which has been corroborated, that Iraqi intelligence agents helped Al-Qaeda in its search for and experiments with chemical weapons.

• We know that a senior member of Al-Qaeda named Zarqawi went to Baghdad after escaping Afghanistan with a number of other Al Qaeda members.

• We know that Al Qaeda members used the Salman Pak terrorist training camp.

• In the Ansar al-Islam camp in the Northeastern part of Iraq, we found evidence of direct contacts with Al-Qaeda

• Al Qaeda is a main finance source for Ansar Al Islam

• We know he supports Hamas

• We know he paid the families of suicide bombers in Israel.

And that is what we knew before the war. After we have learned even more.

Did Iraq plan or have knowledge of 9/11? Unknown.

Did Iraq support Al Qaeda? Without Question.

Did Iraq support Terrorism? Without Question.
