Iraq war may help al-Qaida, MPs report 
Press Association
Thursday July 31, 2003 
The overthrow of Saddam Hussein has not lessened the security threat
to Britain from weapons of mass destruction and international
terrorism, MPs warned today. 
The Commons foreign affairs committee said that the war in Iraq may
actually have "impeded" efforts to combat Osama bin Laden and his
al-Qaida terror network. 
In a report on the foreign policy aspects of the war against
terrorism, the committee said it was essential to rebuild relations
with allies such as France, following the disagreements over Iraq, in
order to tackle terrorism effectively. 
At the same time, the committee urged the government to ensure that
its support for America during the war with Iraq was rewarded with
real benefits to Britain and its citizens. 
The report warned that although some senior al-Qaida leaders had been
captured, those still at large - including Bin Laden himself - still
had the capacity to "lead and guide the organisation towards further
atrocities". 
Al-Qaida still had "dangerously large numbers of 'foot soldiers'",
while the war against Iraq may have enhanced the organisation's appeal
to Muslims - particularly in the Gulf region. 
"The war in Iraq might in fact have impeded the war against al-Qaida,"
the report said. 
"In spite of some notable progress, al-Qaida continues to pose a
substantial threat to British citizens in the United Kingdom and
abroad." 
At the same time, the report said the government still had to confront
the dangers to international peace and stability from the spread of
weapons of mass destruction elsewhere in the world. 
"We cannot conclude that these threats have diminished significantly,
in spite of 'regime change' in Iraq and progress in capturing some of
the leaders of al-Qaida," it said. 
"In the wake of the Iraq war, we recommend that the government make it
a priority to work towards restoring the cohesion of the United
Kingdom's international partnerships, better to face the daunting
challenges of the continuing 'war against terrorism'." 
The report emphasised the need to restore stability in both
Afghanistan and Iraq and urged the government to review its capacity
for post-conflict reconstruction and peace-building. 
"The success of both operations is of central importance to the
success of the 'war against terrorism'," it said. 
The report acknowledged that a breakdown of law and order in Iraq
following the fall of Saddam had always been "highly probable", but
said it was "deeply regrettable" that it had taken so long to restore
order. 
It said lessons needed to be learned from the killings last month of
six Royal Military Police in the town of Majar al-Kabir. 
"The level of resentment of the new US and the United Kingdom presence
in Iraq may well depend on the success or otherwise of efforts to
improve the lives of the Iraqi people and progress in the Middle East
peace process," it said. 
The committee also called on the government to ensure that British
terrorism suspects held by the US at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba were tried
according to internationally recognised judicial standards - if
possible in the UK. 
"In a number of areas - including ensuring the fair trial of prisoners
detained at Guantanamo Bay - the government must ensure that its close
relationship with the US administration brings substantive benefits to
the United Kingdom and its citizens," it said. 
Former Labour minister Peter Kilfoyle and ex-Tory cabinet minister
Kenneth Clarke, who both opposed the war, said the report confirmed
their fears. 
However, its findings were rejected by Foreign Office minister Bill
Rammell. 
"Removing Saddam has removed a sponsor of terrorism," he told BBC
Radio 4's World at One. 
"He was a major sponsor of terrorism and removing him I think helps us
in the war on terrorism." 
Mr Rammell rejected suggestions that the occupation of Iraq would push
more volunteers into the arms of al-Qaida. 
"I don't think the fact that we have removed a tyrant will help them
in their recruitment process," he said. 
An opinion poll showed that ordinary Iraqis, even in the capital
Baghdad where Saddam was strongest, wanted the coalition to remain,
the minister continued. 
"The idea that our actions are going to lead to a political
consequence of al-Qaida being able to recruit agents, I simply don't
think is the case," he added. 

Bin-Laden e Saddam....
Peccato che sia solo l'opione di un comitato per la politica estera
della parlamento inglese e che non dica nulla dei possibili legami tra
Saddam e Bin Laden :)
