LOL! The 15 Saudi's had long left Saudi Arabia & joined Bin Laden. As for others with terrorist ties, their time will come. As for Iraq not having terrorist ties for more than 10 years, well, I'm not into revisionist history as you seem to be so inclined. Ansar al-Islam’s base of operations in northern Iraq was annihilated by a salvo of cruise missiles early in the war. The group was comprised of diverse nationalities, many of them veterans from Afghanistan. Not surprisingly, the fighters from the camp had been forcing a Taliban-style rule on the neighboring villages. Regrettably, many of the leaders and other members saw the changing political climate before the war and escaped to Iran before the attack. At Salman Pak airfield, a few miles southeast of Baghdad, Marines confirmed the existence of another terrorist camp, this one run by the government of Iraq. The camp was an academy of sorts where up to 50 terrorist candidates trained for several months. The grounds included a rail car and the fuselage of a Boeing 707 for practicing hi- jackings. The presence of gas masks suggests what else they were training for.
