Iraq- Al Qaeda/Taliban Connection?

I was hesitant in posting this and admit that the country this is from may not be Iraq, but it seems there is a good chance.

An Arab regime, possibly Iraq, supplied how-to manuals for Arab operatives working throughout Afghanistan before 9/11, and provided military assistance to the Taliban and Al Qaeda.

I just found this interesting.

It's Fox, of course they're going to insinuate it's Iraq.

Another reason why I was hesitant. Yes, it's fox, I realize they lean to right in their news coverage, but I'm sure they just don't pull these stories from nowhere.

Meh, my grandmother could write a better manual ... well, she was considered a terrorist by the Nazis in WWII.

Surprisingly technical and informed my ass.

Anyways, it is possibly Iraq ... or it is also possibly any other Arab country.

Yes, you read correctly, lean. They aren't a state run fascist news channel.

I thought they were notorious for doing exactly that.

It's not that Saddam wouldn't have wanted to help Al Qaeda it's that Al Qaeda would never knowingly take it. Al Qaeda considered "godless Socialists" (like Saddam) as much the enemy as infidels.
