Spain Regrets Supporting Iraqi Invasion - 02/10/2004 15:05

Like many other countries, Spain believed Iraq had weapons of mass
destruction
The Spanish Government has admitted for the first time that "it might have
made a mistake when decided to support the Iraqi campaign," governmental
press secretary Eduardo Zaplana says.
The Europa press agency reported on Saturday that the statement was made
because the opposition insisted that documents of the Spanish National
Intelligence Center must be declassified.
The opposition states that as well as America's CIA, the Intelligence
Center of Spain did not inform the government that Iraq had weapons of mass
destruction or that Saddam Hussein was connected with al-Qaida.
Nevertheless, the Spanish authorities voiced their support to the Iraqi
campaign and tried to convince the population of weapons of mass destruction
being held in Iraq and of Baghdad's contacts with Osama bin Laden.
Eduardo Zaplana admits that the government of Spain might have been
mistaken as it acted consistently like many other countries that believed
Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. The press secretary of the government
says the assurance was based upon reports of UN monitors who, as Zaplana
adds, "never claimed Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction."
