WASHINGTON, July 24: A congressional inquiry published on Thursday shot down another argument that the Bush administration used for justifying its war on Iraq the alleged link between Al Qaeda and the Saddam regime.
The congressional inquiry into the suicide hijackings of Sept 11, 2001 determined that US intelligence had no evidence to suggest that the Saddam regime was involved in the attacks or had links to Al Qaeda.
The revelation is likely to embarrass the Bush administration, which made links between Saddam’s support for Al Qaeda a major plank for its case for war on Iraq.
