The mission was aborted after the bomber could not obtain a visa to enter the United Kingdom." • The Iraqi Intelligence Service in a 1993 memo to Saddam agreed on a plan to train commandos from Egyptian Islamic Jihad, the group that assassinated Anwar Sadat and was founded by Al Qaeda's second-in-command, Ayman al-Zawahiri. • In the same year, Saddam ordered his intelligence service to "form a group to start hunting Americans present on Arab soil; especially Somalia." At the time, Al Qaeda was working with warlords against American forces there. Edited March 15, 2008 by TheEgoist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
