“ The claims of terrorism links remain hollow: Even the State Department report 'Patterns of Global Terrorism' states that Iraq has not been involved in terrorism since 1993. As for a bin Laden link, that was not proved, but alleged without any substantiation. ... Two groups mentioned by Powell have been largely defunct since 1985. Two others, the alleged 'Zakawi network' and Ansar al Islam, operate in northern Iraq, outside Saddam Hussein's control. The leader of Ansar al Islam has denied having any links to either Hussein or bin Laden. The Arab media is reporting that the Zakawi story was provided by Jordanian intelligence, which has a record of torture and inaccuracy. Prince Nayif, the minister of interior and chief of the Saudi effort in the 'war on terrorism,' denied ever hearing about the two al Qaida members sneaking from Iraq into Saudi Arabia. ”
