итак, начнем с Кении - можно взглянуть на то, как Ирак был к этому "самым первым возможным причастным" ?

These strikes were ordered by the President of the United States and were undertaken in response to Iraq's continued failure to comply with United Nations Security Council resolutions as well as their interference with United Nations Special Commission (UNSCOM) inspectors. The strikes were designed to deliver a serous blow to Saddam Hussein's capability to manufacture, store, maintain and deliver weapons of mass destruction and his ability to threaten or otherwise intimidate his neighbors.
даже не касаясь credibility этого источника, на причастность к терракту это не катит... извините
ну почему все эти "доказательства" так притянуты за уши ?
2. и где во второй Вашей цитате речь идет о причастности Ирака к взрыву в Кении ? (Вы не забыли - Вы решили вскользь остановиться на главном подозреваемом во всех террактах, верно ?)
насчет Ричарда Кларка:The US Congress' commission on the 9/11 wrote:"... in the early 1990s bin Laden had actually been supporting anti-Saddam rebels in Iraq. When bin Laden met a senior Iraqi intelligence officer in late 1994 or early 1995 to ask for weapons and space to establish training camps, there was "no evidence that Iraq responded to this request".
"There is also evidence that around this time bin Laden sent out a number of feelers to the Iraqi regime, offering some co-operation," the commission found. "None are reported to have received a significant response." On the contrary, said the commission, Saddam was trying to "stay clear of bin Laden".
In 1998 Iraq reportedly initiated new contacts with bin Laden, with a meeting in Afghanistan, then the home base of al-Qaeda. When Iraq offered bin Laden safe haven, the al-Qaeda leader declined, although friendly contacts continued.
"But to date we have seen no evidence that these or the earlier contacts ever developed into a collaborative operational relationship," the commission report said.
"Richard Clarke, a top Clinton administration counterterrorism official, asserted that Saddam Hussein had offered bin Laden asylum after the embassy bombings."
Clarke recounts in his book "Against All Enemies" that this was a claim that was made by others and discredited.
