Threads linking Nidal to Saddam on quite a few operations seemed pretty realistic, as well as prior connections between Nidal an CIA over the years. Professional talks : give and take. Debka was more convincing and substantive on that one than usually.

The most probable scenario is that Saddam couldn't take the chance to let him live.
Nidal knew it just too well, and only the US could have saved him, had he bargained some form of asylium against his infos. These weeks, exposing Saddam secrets had no price for the US administration, and Nidal would have been the deus ex machina that would have totally changed the picture (world opinion), and put the UN on vacation.
