Saddam-Terrorist Connection
As we learn more of the U.N. Oil for Palaces corruption scandal, we learn more about where that money went:
Saddam Hussein diverted money from the U.N. oil-for-food program to pay millions of dollars to families of Palestinian suicide bombers who carried out attacks on Israel, say congressional investigators who uncovered evidence of the money trail.
What is being learned is that the scale is much larger than we thought. But it was well known before the liberation that Saddam gave money to the families of homicide bombers, so I’ve never understood the “no known connection to terrorism” angle.
