Saddam & Terrorism Records

 

The Conflict Records Research Center (CRRC) is pleased to release nine Arabic records from the CRRC’s Saddam Hussein collection in conjunction with the CRRC-organized roundtable “Saddam and Terrorism,” held April 3 in San Diego, CA at the International Studies Association’s annual convention. Roundtable members drew on these documents and additional CRRC records to address the nature, extent, and significance of Saddam Hussein’s regime’s links to terrorist organizations.  Although these records have been available in English previously, never before has the public had access to the original Arabic language version.*
