Baghdad
Baghdad has agents around the world poised to commit terrorist acts if the U.S. invades Iraq, a Western diplomat said this week. “We have credible information that this is something the Iraqis have planned,” the unnamed source told the Los Angeles Times. The U.S. said it had provided more than 60 countries with a list of several hundred Iraqi envoys suspected of being intelligence agents. Several countries, including Romania and Australia, have already begun expelling them.
