"According to Hudayfa Azzam, Arabs who fought in Afghanistan began going to Iraq after the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States that have been blamed on Bin Laden's Al-Qaeda network.

They wanted to flee Afghanistan and take advantage of a situation which was still stable in Iraq, he said.

"They infiltrated into Iraq with the help of Kurdish mujahedeen from Afghanistan, across mountains in Iran," he said.

When the possibility of a US-led invasion became clearer "Saddam Hussein's regime welcomed them with open arms and young Al-Qaeda members entered Iraq in large numbers, setting up an organisation to confront the occupation," he said.

Saddam's regime "strictly and directly controlled" these Al-Qaeda members, he said."

Huh? A terrorist provides evidence that Iraq is indeed part of the GWOT? AQ in Iraq? Huh? Bush didn't lie?

Interesting...very interesting. Who knows, maybe others will begin to see the light.

I notice he references the Kurdish Mujahadeen. This is an absolute shot in the dark, but perhaps this is an attempt to create a rift between the Kurds and the US / Iraqi forces?

The reference to Kurdish mujahideen is to Ansar al-Islam.
