By the way, if you want to see some translations of captured documents:

http://www.fas.org/irp/eprint/iraqi/index.html

"Abstract: Captured Iraqi documents have uncovered evidence that links the
regime of Saddam Hussein to regional and global terrorism, including a
variety of revolutionary, liberation, nationalist, and Islamic terrorist
organizations. While these documents do not reveal direct coordination and
assistance between the Saddam regime and the al Qaeda network, they do
indicate that Saddam was willing to use, albeit cautiously, operatives
affiliated with al Qaeda as long as Saddam could have these
terrorist–operatives monitored closely. Because Saddam’s security
organizations and Osama bin Laden’s terrorist network operated with similar
aims (at least in the short term), considerable overlap was inevitable when
monitoring, contacting, financing, and training the same outside groups.
This created both the appearance of and, in some ways, a “de facto” link
between the organizations. At times, these organizations would work
together in pursuit of shared goals but still maintain their autonomy and
independence because of innate caution and mutual distrust. Though the
execution of Iraqi terror plots was not always successful, evidence shows
that Saddam’s use of terrorist tactics and his support for terrorist groups
remained strong up until the collapse of the regime."
