igloo Posted October 16 Report Share Posted October 16 Saddam planned to provide aerial drones to terroristsUAVs sought as 'flying bombs' to assassinate Israeli prime minister--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Posted: October 16, 20041:00 a.m. Eastern. © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com Saddam Hussein's government discussed supplying unmanned aerial vehicles to terrorists, according to a CIA report made public last week, reports Geostrategy-Direct, the global intelligence news service. The Iraq Survey Group report stated that the development of the Al Quds remotely piloted aircraft included links between the program director and terrorists. Al Quds program director Imad Abd-al-Latif Al Rida reported that four Al Quds drones were to be used as "flying bombs" in an attempt to assassinate Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, according to a source who worked on the Al Quds program. "According to the source, four UAVs were to be given to a former Hamas member named Abu Radin who was a friend of Saddam Hussein," the report stated. "Abu Radin, who was no longer loyal to Hamas, would take the UAVs to Jordan, install 5 kg of C4 explosive and use them to attack Sharon at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem." Another Iraqi drone, called the Al Musayara-20, was also to be used as a flying bomb, the report stated. A Dec. 23, 2000, memorandum discovered in Iraq showed that the Iraqi Air Force and senior members of the Fedayeen Saddam, a paramilitary organization, agreed to develop helicopter UAVs for the Fedayeen Saddam. A prototype helicopter UAV was built but was destroyed by U.S. cruise missiles in March 2003. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherway83 Posted October 16 Report Share Posted October 16 "planning" isn't the same as actually "providing"...in any case, i think you're a lil too late with this, my friend...most ppl. (with the exception of a few brainwashed sheep) have already made up their minds abt the issue and have come to the realization that this country had been completely misled into the war, there were never any WMDs, never a link between saddam and al-qaeda, and as such, never a good reason to go to war in the first place...and your futile attempts at somehow trying to link saddam with the terrorists even now aren't gonna change anything...

vicman Posted October 16 Report Share Posted October 16 so are we to believe one, or parts of a CIA report while ignoring all the other CIA report stating that the inteligence on iraq was shady, that there were not enough troops on the ground, that there was no connection between saddam and osama?
