Reuters. 14 March 2003. Senator asks FBI to investigate fake Iraq
document.

WASHINGTON -- The senior Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee
asked the FBI on Friday to investigate fake documents the United States
used as evidence to the United Nations of alleged Iraqi efforts to
acquire uranium from Niger.

"As you know, the International Atomic Energy Agency has recently
determined that some of the intelligence documents provided to it by the
United States are forgeries," Sen. John Rockefeller said in a letter to
FBI Director Robert Mueller.

"These documents were provided to the IAEA as evidence of Iraqi efforts
to procure uranium from the Republic of Niger. I am writing to request
that the Federal Bureau of Investigation investigate this matter," the
West Virginia senator said.

The documents were among intelligence U.S. officials used in seeking
U.N. Security Council support for their assertion that Iraq is hiding
biological, chemical and nuclear weapons programs. Iraq denies having
such weapons programs.

Rockefeller expressed concern that the forgeries "may be part of a
larger deception campaign aimed at manipulating public opinion and
foreign policy regarding Iraq."
