Documents on Israel Found in Baghdad -
(New York Times) - Judith Miller U.S. soldiers have found a trove of Iraqi intelligence documents and maps relating to Israel. The finds included a map of Israel highlighted with the locations of Iraqi Scud missile strikes during the Persian Gulf war of 1991, a perfect mock-up of the Knesset and other official Israeli buildings, and a satellite picture of Israel's nuclear complex at Dimona. Also found was a "top secret" intelligence memo dated May 20, 2001, from the Iraqi intelligence station chief in an African country describing an offer by a "holy warrior" to sell uranium and other nuclear material. The documents were found during a search prompted by a former secret police official's claim that he had hidden an ancient copy of the Talmud, dating from the seventh century, in the basement of his headquarters. Instead, the search team found the operations center of the Israel-Palestine department of the secret police.
