More Info on Iraq and Al Qaeda

This article talks about the hunt to find Musab al-Zarqawi. The really interesting part to me is on the second page of the artice:

During the 1990s, Zarqawi trained under bin Laden in Afghanistan. After the fall of the Taliban, he fled to northwestern Iraq and worked with poisons for use in potential attacks, officials say. During the summer of 2002, he underwent nasal surgery at a Baghdad hospital, officials say. They mistakenly originally thought, however, that Zarqawi had his leg amputated due to an injury. In late 2002, officials say, Zarqawi began establishing sleeper cells in Baghdad and acquiring weapons from Iraqi intelligence officials.

Of course we all know that just like Saddam had no WMDS, he had no ties to Al Qaeda.
