Abu Nidal, notorious Palestinian mercenary, 'was a US spy'
Secret papers claim the feared assassin was hired to find links between Saddam and al-Qa'ida. Robert Fisk reports
Saturday, 25 October 2008

Iraqi secret police believed that the notorious Palestinian assassin Abu Nidal was working for the Americans as well as Egypt and Kuwait when they interrogated him in Baghdad only months before the Anglo-American invasion of Iraq. Hitherto secret documents which are now in the hands of The Independent – written by Saddam Hussein's brutal security services for Saddam's eyes only – state that he had been "colluding" with the Americans and, with the help of the Egyptians and Kuwaitis, was trying to find evidence linking Saddam and al-Qa'ida.

>>Actually carrying out attacks is far beyond posing a threat. Do I support invading every country that actually attacks Israel? yes.<<

please list the countries you believe have "carried out attacks on israel."

iraq (one down), iran, palestine, jordan, etc? all of them?

also, you haven't proved saddam was directly the cause of said attacks.

he may well have paid (or not, you haven't established that, either), but that doesn't mean they wouldn't have gone down anyway.

not that i'm defending saddam - i cracked a cold one when they caught his sorry behind in a hole. i don't defend the north korean guy, either, but that doesn't mean i think we ought to invade their nation.
