Here's another generally well-known fact. Specifically that Saddam promised a payment of $25,000 to the families of suicide bombers who attacked Israel.
Remember please that the U.N. was supposed to be overseeing a vaunted oil-for-food program that would insure Iraqi oil revenue would go to its people for medicine and food.
Where in the oil-for-food program was the proviso that the oil-for-food money could be used to pay families of suicide bombers?
From CBSNEWS.com:
CBS) Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has raised the amount offered to relatives of suicide bombers from $10,000 per family to $25,000, U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said Wednesday.
Since Iraq upped its payments last month, 12 suicide bombers have successfully struck inside Israel, including one man who killed 25 Israelis, many of them elderly, as they sat down to a meal at a hotel to celebrate the Jewish holiday of Passover. The families of three suicide bombers said they have recently received payments of $25,000.

March 2002 Document: Saddam Ordered 25,000 Dollars for Each Suicide Terrorist Against Israel
Document ISGP-2003-00014647 is another proof of Saddam unmistaken ties to terrorism. In this document Saddam ordered the payment of 25000 US Dollas for the family of each person who conducts suicide terrorist operation against Israel. The letter calls such terrorist operation as "Istichhadia" which means Martydom and they do not recognize Israel but they call the whole thing as Palestine. This has been known for a long time but it is important to see the unmistaken proof about it via this document. The word "Intifada" in the letter refers to the Palestinian revolt, but I guess most know what Intifada means so I did not change the name and left it its Arabic form.
