Saddam condemned the attacks on 9/11

FalseThis claim has been determined to be false based on available evidence.

Analysis

The claim that Saddam Hussein condemned the attacks on 9/11 is not supported by credible evidence. Available sources, though mostly non-trusted in this dataset, consistently indicate that Saddam Hussein’s regime either did not officially condemn the attacks or even expressed sentiments suggesting the U.S. “deserved” the attacks. There is no reliable documentation of Saddam Hussein explicitly condemning the 9/11 attacks. Instead, U.S. government statements and media reports from the period often highlighted Saddam’s hostile stance toward the United States and his lack of cooperation against Al Qaeda. The absence of trusted sources confirming any condemnation, combined with multiple references to either silence or hostile remarks, leads to the conclusion that the claim is false.
