Kurdish group linked to al-Qaida = pleads=20 innocence to reporters

Sunday, February 16, 2003

SARGAT, Iraq -- To hear the Kurds and the United States tell = it, a=20 compound here near the Iraqi city of Halabja has been turned into = a=20 chemical weapons plant manned by al-Qaida operatives and used to = produce=20 chemical bombs and booby traps, including poison cigarettes and = paint.=20

That nightmare scenario described by Secretary of State Colin = Powell=20 and a high-level Kurdish intelligence official is part of the = evidence the=20 U.S. and Kurds claim links Saddam Hussein to Osama bin Laden's = al-Qaida=20 network and to Ansar al Islam, a small group of about 650 to 700 = Islamic=20 militants holed up in the Zagros mountains of Iraqi Kurdistan.=20

But a recent visit to the site by a group of reporters revealed = no=20 obvious signs of a poison factory, nor any obvious al-Qaida = operatives.=20 Just a group of heavily armed black-turbaned Islamists with long = beards=20 and short tempers.

"There are no chemical weapons here," said Mohammad Hassan, one = of the=20 Ansar operatives, 20 minutes before hastily ordering all the = journalists=20 to leave.

Many terrorism experts have long agreed that Ansar has = recruited from=20 the Afghan-trained warriors who drilled in Osama bin Laden's = camps.=20 Powell's Feb. 5 Security Council speech linking Saddam to Ansar = and=20 al-Qaida confirmed what some Kurds have said for a while: that = Saddam has=20 been backing Ansar militants.

Since the establishment of the autonomous Kurdish enclave = following the=20 1991 Gulf War, the two Kurdish parties have run this = Switzerland-sized=20 swath of northeastern Iraq. Islamic extremists have always been a = problem=20 in this area, which borders Iran. But no group has caused as much=20 consternation,or as many casualties, as Ansar.

In December, an Ansar attack on forces of the Patriotic Union = of=20 Kurdistan, which runs the eastern half of the autonomous zone, = left scores=20 dead. Just hours after the reporters visited the Sargat site last = week,=20 Ansar gunmen shot and killed General Shawkat Haji Mushir, a = prominent=20 Kurdish minister, and several other people.=20

The Kurds say the elaborately staged killing, in which Ansar = guerrillas=20 posed as defectors and lulled the general into thinking they were = on his=20 side, could only have been planned by al-Qaida masterminds. The = Kurds say=20 they have more evidence of al-Qaida ties that the United States = has yet to=20 hear, and they have every reason to make the connection so as = bring down=20 U.S. wrath on both their enemies -- Ansar and Saddam Hussein.

They allege that Qeyes Ibrahim Qader -- an Islamic militant = captured=20 attempting to assassinate PUK-region Prime Minister Barham Salih = last year=20 -- had been given the order to act by a man in Ansar al Islam's = Biyare,=20 Iraq, stronghold that he later identified in a photo line-up as = Abu Musaab=20 al-Zarqawi. Al-Zarqawi is the radical Islamist suspected of = plotting the=20 murder of U.S. official Laurence Foley in Jordan in December. = Powell=20 identified him as an al-Qaida leader harbored by Saddam.=20

Kurdish intelligence agents also say the PUK has captured = several=20 former Iraqi military and intelligence officers who confessed that = they=20 had been sent by the Baghdad government to meet with Ansar. They = allege=20 that Baghdad aids Ansar operatives in gaining access to Kurdish = areas.

Then there's the chemical factory. Sadi Ahmad Pire, a = high-level=20 official of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, claims his = government has=20 culled information about chemical weapons activity from Ansar al = Islam=20 prisoners. Patriotic Union officials pinpointed the village of = Sargat as=20 the site where the plant is located, and insist that the Islamist = group=20 must have moved the evidence of chemical weapons before the = journalists=20 arrived there.

The PUK says its evidence about the factory is based on = eyewitness=20 accounts, prisoner confessions and seized evidence, including the = poison=20 cigarettes. "Only the Afghan Arabs and not the local Kurds are = allowed to=20 be in the factory, which is surrounded by houses and buildings and = inaccessible to all but a few," said the PUK intelligence chief.

The factory lies less than 5 kilometers from Khurmal, a = bustling town=20 of approximately 2,000 residents which is under the control of the = Kurdistan Islamic Group, locally called "Komala Islamy," a = moderate=20 Islamist group which maintains friendly relations with both Ansar = and the=20 Patriotic Union.

Ironically, the area where Powell and the Kurds allege al-Qaida = has=20 built a chemical weapons plant was subjected to heavy chemical and = conventional bombardment in the closing days of the Iran-Iraq war = in 1988.=20 Though less famous than its neighbor of Halabja 25 kilometers away = -- in=20 which 5,000 people died in chemical bombardment at the hands of = Saddam --=20 this area also was completely destroyed.

Only recently have people begun to rebuild their lives. The = evidence of=20 Saddam's campaigns against the Kurds -- the crushed ruins of whole = towns=20 obliterated -- mark the road up the mountain to Sargat.

"They've just started to put up mud-brick houses and open up = the=20 market," said Zana Said Rustayee, the Kurdistan Islamic Group's=20 Irbil-based lawyer. "They've had a hard life."
