You could be right....Unless it was all a clever ruse...
What if the List of potential assasins led the Iraqi's directly to undercover CIA Agents posing as assassins...
Then the CIA intercepts Iraqi attempts to promote terrorism and commit assasinations in the US and elsewhere, while the Russian recieve Iraqi intellegence on Bin Ladin and undermine the Isamist terrorists who are plotting against Russia.
I fear that the Russians were helping Iraq, but I hope it is all part of a clever plan...
