>From AP:

The Sunday Times reported that its journalists had found documents in the 
Iraqi foreign ministry that indicate that France gave Saddam Hussein's regime 
regular reports on its dealings with American officials.

The newspaper said the documents reveal that Paris shared with Baghdad the 
contents of private transatlantic meetings and diplomatic traffic from 
Washington.

One document, dated Sept. 25, 2001, from Iraqi foreign minister Naji Sabri to 
Saddam's palace, was based on a briefing from the French ambassador in 
Baghdad and covered talks between presidents Jacques Chirac and George W. 
Bush.
