Saddam's Greek Embassy Hid Explosives

Still think Saddam only bankrolled terror against Israel?

A joint operation by Greek and U.S. secret services in March 2003, just before the American invasion of Iraq, led to the seizure of a large cache of explosives from the basement of the Iraqi Embassy in Athens.

U.S. authorities claimed to have been tipped off about the presence of a weapons cache in the embassy by an Iraqi with links to the embassy, sources revealed.

A raid on the embassy unearthed explosive materials, car bombs, detonators, several guns and dozens of rounds of ammunition, much of the material "ready to use."
