Blair aware of Islamist threat from Iraq war: ex official

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010 -- 9:59 pm
LONDON — Former prime minister Tony Blair knew that invading Iraq in 2003 could increase the threat from Islamic extremism but pressed ahead nonetheless, a former top civil servant said Wednesday.
Speaking at a public inquiry into Britain's role in the controversial war, David Omand added that a claim Saddam Hussein could launch weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) in 45 minutes aimed to add "local colour" to a 2002 dossier.
Omand, who was the government's security and intelligence coordinator, spoke days before Blair himself makes a hotly anticipated appearance at the probe on January 29.
A key intelligence committee warned in reports in 2002 and 2003 that taking military action in Iraq would increase the risk of Al-Qaeda attacks on Western targets and fuel radicalisation, Omand said.
Blair, though, was still keen to press ahead with the invasion which saw Britain standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the US, he added.
