Saddam’s Support of International Terrorists: ’

Hey, guess what…

Saddam Hussein supported jihadists and Islamic terrorists around the world, and he even told them to target Americans. These terrorist include members of jihad groups such as Hamas, Egyptian Islamic Jihad and al-Qaida and others.

That’s right, Lefties. It’s all here…

in this report (pdf) released by the Institute for Defense Analyses, take a gander.

Powerline can explain why this might not mesh with what your left-wing masters have been telling you. Also, if you are too lazy to read the full report, read the redacted version (pdf) and this summary from the NYSun:

The report, titled ‘Saddam and Terrorism: Emerging Insights from Captured Iraqi Documents,’ finds that:

• 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.

• Saddam’s intelligence services maintained extensive support networks for a wide range of Palestinian Arab terrorist organizations, including but not limited to Hamas. Among the other Palestinian groups Saddam supported at the time was Force 17, the private army loyal to Yasser Arafat.
