"Saddam's interest in, and support for, non-Iraqi non-state actors was spread across a wide variety of revolutionary, liberation, nationalist, and Islamic terrorist organizations. For years, Saddam maintained training camps for foreign âfighters' drawn from these diverse groups. In some cases, particularly for Palestinians, Saddam was also a strong financial supporter. Saddam supported groups that either associated directly with al-Qaeda (such as the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, led at one time by bin Laden's deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri) or that generally shared al-Qaeda's stated goals and objectives."[6] The Pentagon papers on Saddam state: "under Saddam, the Iraqi regime used its paramilitary Fedayeen Saddam training camps to train terrorists for use inside and outside Iraq. In 1999, the top ten graduates of each Fedayeen Saddam class were specifically chosen for assignment to London, from there to be ready to conduct operations anywhere in Europe."[13] Saddam was training non-Iraqi's to carry out terrorist actions throughout Europe. The Pentagon papers on Saddam go on to explain the following specific training that was supplied in Iraq: * "Re-equipping and training Palestinian fighters in al-Quds training camps [in Iraq]. * Establishing and activating a course to train Arab Liberation Front fighters on martyrdom operations. * Establishing fighter schools for Arab volunteers and later Iraqi volunteers. * Re-establishing and re-equipping the military base of the Arab Liberation Front. * Training groups from the occupied territories [Palestine] on light weapons and tanks in secret thirty-day courses."
