Cinq ans après le début de la guerre en Irak, cette étude, basée sur l'analyse de 600 000 documents officiels irakiens et sur des milliers d'heures d'interrogatoires d'anciens collaborateurs de Saddam Hussein, indique n'avoir "trouvé aucun lien direct entre l'Irak de Saddam et Al-Qaida".

Sponsored by the Pentagon, the report found no "direct operational link" between Saddam's government in Iraq and bin Laden's Al Qaeda terror ring before the U.S. invasion, an official told McClatchy.

The Bush administration put forth the argument that there was a connection between Saddam and bin Laden when it made the case to go to war with Iraq after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States. [Fox News]
