“On March 28, 1992, the Mukhabarat [Iraqi Intelligence Service] compiled…a list [of Saudis and Kuwaitis considered to be intelligence assets]. It is twenty pages long, with ‘Top Secret’ marked at the top of each page. On page 14 is a now-familiar name: Osama bin Laden. The authors of the document assert that bin Laden ‘is in good relationship with our section in Syria.’ The list was recovered after the [Second Gulf] war by the Iraqi National Congress–a group long opposed to Saddam Hussein–and turned over to U.S. officials. The Defense Intelligence Agency has determined that the document is authentic.”
