ABC News: EXCLUSIVE: The Secret Tapes -- Inside Saddam's Palace:

"One of the most dramatic moments in the 12 hours of recordings comes when Saddam predicts — during a meeting in the mid-1990s — a terrorist attack on the United States. 'Terrorism is coming. I told the Americans a long time before Aug. 2 and told the British as well … that in the future there will be terrorism with weapons of mass destruction.' Saddam goes on to say such attacks would be difficult to stop. 'In the future, what would prevent a booby-trapped car causing a nuclear explosion in Washington or a germ or a chemical one?' But he adds that Iraq would never do such a thing. 'This is coming, this story is coming but not from Iraq.'

Also at the meeting was Iraq's Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz, who said Iraq was being wrongly accused of terrorism. 'Sir, the biological is very easy to make. It's so simple that any biologist can make a bottle of germs and drop it into a water tower and kill 100,000. This is not done by a state. No need to accuse a state. An individual can do it.'"
