British intelligence insists there was Iraqi attempt to secure uranium from Africa
From the Times.
"We are not at liberty to share the information that we have with the Americans because it has come from sources which make that difficult under the protocols of our type of work," said a senior Foreign Office source.
"But the sources we have, we believe have produced intelligence that holds good as far as the claim goes in our September dossier. In other words, there was Iraqi intent to purchase uranium from Niger."
A Foreign Office source said MI6 had "multiple, reliable sources" for its claims.
Okay, more of those "unnamed sources" again. But it seems that somebody in British intelligence is stating that there is backing for this accusation against Iraq other than the famous forged papers. And this is not the first time that I have heard it, either.
Nothing to hang a hat on yet, IMO, but will be watching this one as it develops.
