Saddam secret service leading attacks

ATTACKS on coalition troops in Iraq are being led by Saddam Hussein’s secret service, which spent months before the fall of Baghdad planning to resist, it was reported today.

Members of the Saddam regime’s Special Operations and Anti-terrorism Branch, known as M-14, are motivating and leading groups opposed to coalition forces, according to a Pentagon report obtained by the New York Times.

The report contradicts claims by London and Washington that Iraqi fighters are little more than rag-tag groups of fanatics and extremists.
