Richard Clarke said AQ and Iraq had an agreement to cooperate on WMD development. That's what he said when he justified Clinton's attack on the Khartoum pharma plant. The 1998 federal indictment of OBL said the same thing - excerpt:

"4. Al Qaeda also forged alliances with the National Islamic Front in the Sudan and with the government of Iran and its associated terrorist group Hezballah for the purpose of working together against their perceived common enemies in the West, particularly the United States. In addition, al Qaeda reached an understanding with the government of Iraq that al Qaeda would not work against that government and that on particular projects, specifically including weapons development, al Qaeda would work cooperatively with the Government of Iraq. "

Also Iraq harbored many terrorists who had attacked American targets, including Rahman Abdul Yasin, who was indicted for making the explosive used in the 1993 WTC attack, which occurred on the Friday before the 2nd anniversary of Saddam's defeat in Kuwait.
