Document ISGP-2003-00014647 is another proof of Saddam unmistaken ties to terrorism. In this document Saddam ordered the payment of 25000 US Dollas for the family of each person who conducts suicide terrorist operation against Israel. The letter calls such terrorist operation as “Istichhadia” which means Martydom and they do not recognize Israel but they call the whole thing as Palestine. This has been known for a long time but it is important to see the unmistaken proof about it via this document. The word “Intifada” in the letter refers to the Palestinian revolt, but I guess most know what Intifada means so I did not change the name and left it its Arabic form.
