I agree. Fundamentalism was a major threat to Saddam, and he knew that. I think the Iranian hand in ANSAR is the most damning answer to any question of Saddam "helping" that organization. Saddam wouldn't have wanted to help an Iranian organ. Now I'm sure he would have tried to spy on them, and infiltrate them, but that's hardly being linked to them. I assume our own CIA would also have liked in infiltrate and spy on such an organization- but I'd hardly call that kind of activity a "link" (in the positive affirmative "assisting" sense of the word), or blame the CIA for a terrorist action an organization they were spying on carried out. (Might blame them for not spying better, but wouldn't blame them for the action.)
