I do not have verification that there were units or groups of the size that Newsday reports. But we do believe that there was some Russian participation.

[•] We are in the process of verification of these reports, ... What we assume, and again I say we have not yet finalized the reports, is that weapons that he [Saddam] wanted to hide -- chemical weapons, biological weapons -- were indeed transferred to Syria.

After verification, we found the reports concerning Ugandan incursions (into Congo) to be credible.

It's not a real long route, but we have 30 units so far.

It's kind of a normal rotation. Some of these beaten-up groups are getting some sponsorship.

There are some signs that in recent weeks Saddam Hussein has been concentrating more on defensive measures rather than offensive measures.
