2003 Document: Iraqi Intelligence Asks Hamas To Conduct Terrorist Attacks Against The US.

The tenacious jveritas offers us more interesting translations from the 40,000+ documents released a few weeks back. This one offers encouragment and support for Hamas to attack the US throughout the world.

Page 22 of this document IISP-2003-00026588 which was written during the Iraq War in 2003 is from an Iraqi Intelligence officer to the Director of the Iraqi Intelligence Apparatus where he discussed with him information about Hamas eagerness to participate in the war against the US via the Palestinians students who are studying in Iraq. The intelligence officer expressed his great gratitude to Hamas but he added that the Iraqi regime will be happier if Hamas attacks US and Israeli interests inside and outside Israel. “however we will be happier if we hear about any campaign that target the US and Zionist interests inside the occupied territories and outside it.”

This document is yet another clear indication of Saddam regime undeniable connection and support to terrorists, and that this regime is a terrorist one.
