| Italy blames France for Niger uranium claims |
| 2004-09-05 |
| A row has broken out between France and Italy over whose intelligence service is to blame for the Niger uranium controversy, which led to Britain and America claiming wrongly that Saddam Hussein was trying to buy material for nuclear bombs. Italian diplomats say that France was behind forged documents which at first appeared to prove that Iraq was seeking "yellow-cake" uranium in Niger - evidence used by Britain and America to promote the case for last year's Gulf war. |

| #2 I read this before, and, if true, is pretty damning for France. Not beyond the realm of possibiilty given France's affection for Saddam and his payola. |
