No Signs of Hussein Role, Powell Says

Published: November 1, 2003
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31 -- Secretary of State Colin L. Powell said on Friday that he saw no signs that Saddam Hussein was active in coordinating attacks on American forces in Iraq.
"I don't know where he is or what he's doing, but we really don't have the evidence to put together a claim that he is pulling all the strings among these remnants in Baghdad and other parts of the country that are causing us the difficulty," Mr. Powell said on the ABC News program "Nightline," according to a transcript.
He also cast doubt on reports that one of Mr. Hussein's deputies, Izzat Ibrahim, was behind the attacks, saying, "I see no evidence to support that."
On Friday, The New York Times quoted senior American officials as saying that Mr. Hussein might be playing a crucial role in coordinating attacks against United States forces.
