"Nearly a dozen current and former senior U.S. officials told the AP that the strongest account of collaboration between Iraqis and al-Qaida comes from the captured leader of one of al-Qaida's Afghan training camps. He claimed that bin Laden turned to Iraq for technical help on chemical weapons because bin Laden was concerned that al-Qaida lacked the expertise" "The captive has told interrogators that an al-Qaida militant known as Abdallah al-Iraqi shuttled between Afghanistan and Iraq from 1997 and 2002 looking to acquire poisons, officials said."

The organization also has alleged ties to Ramzi Yousef, who was convicted of coordinating the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center." pbs.org re: "Where is the evidence for the connection to Quaeda???? And is Quaeda responsible for 9-11? ie a=b, a=c, therefore b=c Is this the smoke and mirror games the Bushies play? ..."
