Pre-War Iraq/al-Qaeda relationship proven beyond any doubt
ABC World News Now. April 27, 2004
I was interested to hear that the leader of the Al Qaeda cell organizing the explosive and chemical attack on the Jordanian security headquarters and the American Embassy in Jordan state that he received his training from Al-Zawahiri in Iraq, prior to the fall of Afghanistan. This training was in the use of weapons of mass destruction using easily obtained chemicals.
This video statement, by the leader of the attack team, proves beyond any doubt that there was definitely a connection between Iraq and Al Qaeda prior to the Liberation of Iraq.
Since Zawahiri is not a chemist, this specific Iraqi and Al Qaeda relationship suggests to me that the tools and techniques to build chemical weapons of mass destruction came from the Iraqis.
President Bush has repeatedly stated one of his reasons for the invasion of Iraq was to prevent Iraqi weapons technology from falling into the hands of Al Qaeda and here is this Al Qaeda team leader stating that is exactly what happened.
ABC News presented the video containing the terrorists statement, but has not made this connection or commented on it.
