Please, no more made in the ME monsters Dossiers link Baghdad to Islamist group Key leader of 'holy warrior team' was with bin Laden in Sudan Posted: April 17, 2003 5:00 p.m. Eastern © 2003 WorldNetDaily.com Secret dossiers discovered at Iraqi Intelligence Service headquarters in Baghdad provide the first hard evidence of ties between Iraq and religious terrorism, the London Telegraph reported. The documents reveal discussions between Iraq and an African Islamist group whose key leader, Sheikh Jamil Makulu, became friendly with Osama bin Laden in the mid-1990s, when the al-Qaida chief was living in Sudan. A letter shows the mission of the group – the Allied Democratic Forces – was to "smuggle arms on a global scale to holy warriors fighting against U.S., British and Israeli influences in Africa, the Middle East, Asia and the Far East." The London paper said it has seen the dossiers, which show how Iraq's charge d'affaires in Nairobi, Fallah Hassan Al Rubdie, was in discussion with the Ugandan guerilla group, which has ties to other anti-western Islamist organizations. The Telegraph said its correspondent entered the spy building, which is loosely guard by U.S. special forces, through one of the many holes left by bombing. A letter from a senior Allied Democratic Forces operative to the head of the Iraqi spy agency detailed his group's efforts to set up an "international mujahideen team." Dated April 2001, the letter was signed: "Your Brother, Bekkah Abdul Nassir, Chief of Diplomacy ADF Forces." Nassir offered to "vet, recruit and send youth to train for the jihad" at a center in Baghdad, which he described as a "headquarters for international holy warrior network," the Telegraph said. "We should not allow the enemy to focus on Afghanistan and Iraq, but we should attack their international criminal forces inside every base," Nassir wrote. The ADF, which launched a rebellion against Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni's government in 1996, is on the U.S. list of terrorist organizations. Sudan's militant Islamic regime has provided the ADF with weapons and funding. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- worldnetdaily.com
