American Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has admitted he has not seen seen ‘strong, hard evidence' linking ousted Iraqi leader Saddam and Osama Bin Laden's al Qaida. Asked to describe the connection between Hussein and al Qaida, the Pentagon chief declined to answer the question but then said: "To my knowledge, I have not seen any strong, hard evidence that links the two." He said he had seen intelligence on that "migrate in amazing ways" in the past year, adding that there were "many differences of opinion in the intelligence community." He did not elaborate on that but said relationships among terrorists "evolve and change over time."
