Saddam ally an insider of Iraq hotel hit by rockets
(Updated at 0920 PST)
BAGHDAD: A contractor supplying kitchen staff and secretaries for the Al Rasheed Hotel, the scene of Sunday’s rocket attacks, was allied to Saddam Hussein's security services and might have been providing intelligence to the anti-U.S. resistance, citing an Iraqi informant a US daily reported on Tuesday.

The hotel is one of the most sensitive sites in Baghdad, serving as office and residence to top coalition officials as well as many members of the Iraqi Governing Council.

The informant, who identifies himself fully in his letter but declined to have his name published, focuses his charges on Muslel Muhammed Farhan Al-Dilemi, 53, the manager of the Al-Tamoor Trading Co. which provides services to the hotel.

His people are the ones who get the hotel kitchen food. Wolfowitz is reported to have been sleeping in a room on the 13th floor when the rockets struck early yesterday. The report claims that members of the hotel management are in league with Mr. Al-Dilemi.
