Their supposed tie
is that Al Queda used Saddam's father-in-law to purchase what may be chemical weapons which were smuggled out of Iraq. The thing is, there is nothing in the article to indicate that this was done with official Iraqi blessing. They used drug runners and smugglers to get the stuff over the border. It could very well have been the father-in-law using his connections to run a lucrative side business.
It's a great article insofar as it describes how Hussein launched a chemical attack against the Kurdish people living in Iraq, and a great article insofar as it describes how the Kurds have been historically screwed, over and over again, but not so hot as proof that Al Queda and Iraq are in cahoots.
