No, but Saddam *was* an active supporter of several Islamic terror
groups. So long as they did not oppose his own regime, he offered them
asylum and even funded their activities using money skimmed from the UN
'Oil for Food' program. When Zarqawi, an Al-Qaida lieutenant, was
kicked out of Iran in 2002, he fled to Iraq where he organized a
splinter wing of Al-Qaida which has been so active since the end of
formal hostilities..
"Iraq is the latest battlefield in this war. Many terrorists who kill
innocent men, women, and children on the streets of Baghdad are
followers of the same murderous ideology that took the lives of our
citizens in New York, in Washington and Pennsylvania. There is only one
course of action against them - to defeat them abroad before they attack
us at home. We fight today because terrorists want to attack our country
and kill our citizens, and Iraq is where they are making their stand. So
we will fight them there, we will fight them across the world and we
will stay in the fight until the fight is won." - President George W.
Bush June 29, 2005
