UK government official 23/11/2002, re Blair's dossier :
"The government has never tried to establish any link between al Qaeda and Saddam because we don't believe that there is one," the official said.
"So while the dossier will inevitably touch on Saddam's background and his previous links to terrorist groups, it will not attempt to make a linkage between Saddam and al Qaeda."

You'll find that the dossier does not even mention terrorism, let alone links to Al-Qaeda.

The UK security services dismissed reports on meetings between Iraqi's & Al-Qaeda as totally unfounded sometime ago, if you dig around, I'm sure you'll find the reports.
