This document is dated right after our own attacks on 9/11/01.
This document is quite interesting in that a member of Saddam's Intelligence is quoting a contact in the Taliban. This Taliban contact refers to a relationship between Iraq and Bin Laden.
It also states that the U.S. was aware about this relationship.
The main importance of this document is that it was written after our own attack and seems to indicate some concern about an attack in Afghanistan and Iraq because of the 9/11 attack.

Document: Afghani Taliban Consul Spoke of a Relationship Between Iraq and Bin Laden
This document is a letter written by a member of Saddam Intelligence apparatus (Al Mukabarat) on 9/15/2001 (shortly after 9/11/2001) where he addressed it to someone higher up and he wrote about a conversation between an Iraqi intelligence source and a Taliban Afghani Consul. In the conversation the Afghani Consul spoke of a relationship between Iraq and Osama Bin Laden prior to 9/11/2001, and that the United States was aware of such a relationship and that there is a potential of US strikes against Iraq and Afghanistan if the destructive operations in the US (most probably he is referring to 9/11 attacks) were proven to be connected to Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban.
