Iraqi: I’m proud my WMD lies led to war in Iraq
LONDON (AP) — An Iraqi who has been identified as a key source for the U.S. case for war in Iraq says he is proud that he lied about his country developing mobile biological warfare labs.
The Guardian newspaper published an interview Wednesday with Rafid Ahmed Alwan al-Janabi, who has been identified as the informer called “Curveball.” His claims about weapon labs formed part of then-U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell’s speech to the U.N. Security Council in 2003, shortly before the war began.
The Guardian quoted Curveball as saying: “I had the chance to fabricate something to topple the regime. I and my sons are proud of that.”
The Guardian says Curveball was interviewed in Germany.
