Evidence of bin Laden contacts spelled out
The Sept. 11 commission said Thursday that it had found no evidence that Iraq, Iran or Saudi Arabia had knowingly provided operational or financial support to Al-Qaida in advance of the attacks, but it called for further investigation of the relationship between Iran and Al-Qaida.The commission reported finding no evidence of a ``collaborative operational relationship'' between Iraq and Al-Qaida or an Iraqi role in attacking the United States. The report stated that representatives of the two may have been in contact in 1994 or 1995, 1998, and possibly 1999, largely because of what the commission described as a shared hatred of the United States. But the commission found their interests were largely out of sync, and nothing came of the contacts. Posted by: Dan Darling 2004-07-23 |
