WASHINGTON: A woman claiming to have been Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's mistress for more than 30 years told ABC News that she witnessed at least one meeting between Saddam and top terror suspect Osama Bin Laden.
In an interview to be broadcast Thursday, Parisoula Lampsos, 54, said that during the mid-1980s, Bin Laden, blamed for the terror strike of September 11 that killed more than 3,000, visited one of Saddam's palaces in Iraq.
She alleged that the Iraqi leader's eldest son, Uday, told her the two met again about a decade later, an exchange that saw Saddam giving money to the Saudi-born millionaire exile.
"He give to Osama Bin Laden, he give to Palestine," she is quoted as saying in halting English.

Although Saddam expressed reservations about the election in 2000 of George W Bush, he was confident that he would be beyond the president's reach and would one day retake Kuwait, which he lost after Bush's father, 41st US president George Bush, committed US troops to the Gulf War, Lampsos said.
Lampsos, who now lives in Lebanon, also offered details about Saddam's personal life. He apparently liked to drink alcohol and smoke cigars while watching videos of his enemies being tortured.
Lampsos also told the network that Saddam sometimes wore cowboy hats and took Viagra, a drug that seeks to curb male impotence.

The 9-11 commision did have the chance to look at everything, but they never had good enough people to help them. This was a big topic and yet none of this let the single hour on tv. Why?
