This recalls for me that NYT article (3-17-02) in which they quoted various 
'al Qaeda' documents found in Afghanistan, including this:

"In a Qaeda house in Kabul, there was a public statement from the 'Islamic 
Battalion, Kurdistan, Iraq,' dated Nov. 20, 1999, calling on 'the movement 
for Islamic unity' to help the jihad against President Saddam Hussein."

I wasn't on this list at the time, so maybe I missed a discussion, but does 
anyone have more on this?
