Terror Training Camps

It is reported that Saddam Hussein trained thousands of radical Islamic terrorists at camps in Iraq, over the four years immediately preceding the U.S. invasion.

That is based on documents and photographs recovered by the U.S. military in postwar Iraq.

The secret training allegedly took place primarily at camps in Samarra, Ramadi, and Salman Pak.

It is estimated that around 8000 terrorists were trained during this period. Some of these returned to Iraq, and are now responsible for the daily carnage that takes place in that most unhappy country.

The photographs and documents on Iraqi training camps come from a collection of some 2 million "exploitable items", captured in postwar Iraq and Afghanistan. So far only 50000 (2.5%) have been examined.
