| 2003-04-13 |
| Baghdad -- A Moscow-based organization was training Iraqi intelligence agents as recently as last September -- at the same time Russia was resisting the Bush administration's push for a tough stand against Saddam Hussein's regime, Iraqi documents discovered by The Chronicle show. The documents found Thursday and Friday in a Baghdad office of the Mukhabarat, the Iraqi secret police, indicate that at least five agents graduated Sept. 15 from a two-week course in surveillance and eavesdropping techniques, according to certificates issued to the Iraqi agents by the "Special Training Center" in Moscow. |

| #2 What I think is kind of weird is how does this fit in with their Chechen mess? You would think they would be very wary of any Islamo-fascists at all. |

For use by goverments of known fanatics and terrorists??? This is just wonderful... I wonder how much it costs to send 5 operatives through the Moscow "Special Training Center"??? Steve W |
