THE STING:

Saddam is target of first cruise missile blitz (Keith Mcleod, Mar 20 2003, Daily Record uk)

Sources suggested the attack on Saddam might have been a set-up by US "black operations" units.

It was claimed the Americans had faked a story yesterday that Iraqi deputy premier Tariq Aziz had defected.

Saddam was forced to scotch the rumour by ordering Aziz to appear at a news conference.

Observers said US intelligence could have tracked Aziz after his TV appearance, using him to lead them to Saddam.

How sweet would it be if Aziz led us to Saddam? Posted by Orrin Judd at March 20, 2003 9:05 AM
