so i guess that means they didn't have a foothold before

The capture of Ghul is pretty strong proof that al-Qaeda is trying to gain a foothold here to continue their murderous campaigns

(emphasis added) statement of lt. general ricardo sanchez, (commander of u.s. forces in iraq) concerning the capture of hassan ghul, an al qaeda leader who was arrested as he crossed into iraq from iran.

so even sanchez doesn't believe that there was a saddam-al qaeda link.
