From an article in Time magazine on November 17, 1997: ” ‘Officials in Washington are deeply worried about what some of them call ‘strategic crime.’ By that they mean the merging of the output from a government’s arsenals, like Saddam’s biological weapons, with a group of semi-independent terrorists, like radical Islamist groups, who might slip such bioweapons into the United States and use them.’ Iraqi foreign minister Tariq Aziz, in an interview for the same article, denied that Iraq was involved in terrorism but raised the possibility that renewed attacks on Iraq could put ‘people in other countries’ in the ‘mood’ to conduct terrorism in solidarity with Iraq.”
