The Slow Drip - The Melbourne Herald Sun reports yet another possible Iraq-Al Quaeda link.

Not the first we've seen:

"'Iraq agreed to provide chemical and biological weapons training for two al-Qaeda associates starting in December 2000,' the report said.

'Senior al-Qaeda associate Abu Musab al-Zarqawi came to Baghdad in May 2002 for medical treatment, along with approximately two dozen al-Qaeda terrorist associates.

'This group stayed in Baghdad and other parts of Iraq and plotted terrorist attacks around the world.'

The report, quoting the US State Department, also says the fallen regime of Saddam Hussein 'provided material assistance to Palestinian terrorist groups, including the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command, Hamas and the Palestine Islamic Jihad'."

At some point, we'll have to be reaching the "preponderance of evidence" standard...
