Another Source of Faulty Iraq Intel Linked to INC

HeadlineMar 05, 2004

The Washington Post is reporting that the U.S. intelligence community based its claim that Iraq had mobile biological weapons labs on a single Iraqi defector who was never even interviewed by any U.S. officials. The U.S. received the information from a foreign intelligence agency. The man, a former Iraqi chemical engineer, turned out to be a relative of a senior official in Ahmed Chalabi’s Iraqi National Congress. The INC is a group of Iraqi exiles who actively backed the United States to invade Iraq and have been accused of providing the U.S. with fabricated intelligence on Iraq’s weapons programs.
