After all, we found several prominent terrorist leaders in Baghdad, didn't we? Did we? I hadn't seen this. Any links? Abu Nidal was in Iraq, but was a) out of action for decades, b) nothing particularly to do with Iraq when active, I thought backed by Syria, c) not an 'official' guest, and d) probably executed by Saddam's security forces (such a loss). He's the only terrorist I recall us finding in Saddam's area - there was the AQ camp up north, but this was in the Kurdish/no-fly zone so Saddam had no say in what happened there anyhow.

Can you imagine it?? 25,000 to 50,000 people DEAD.. all from one attack?? That's something that absolutely horrified me on 911. Some journalist noted on the TV that the towers usually have 10,000 people in them coming to work at that hour. 10,000... they didn't know how many were unaccounted for yet. Horrific. Derek
