US report says Iraq fuels terror

The violence in Iraq shows little sign of abating
The New York Times newspaper has published what it says are the
findings of a classified US intelligence paper on the effects of the
Iraq war.
The document reportedly blames the conflict for increasing the threat
of terrorism and helping fuel Islamic radicalism worldwide.

Such a conclusion is at odds with the White House's persistent claim
that going to war was the right thing to do.

The paper has not seen the report, but spoke to people familiar with
it.

Changing al-Qaeda

The BBC's Andre Vornic in New York says the National Intelligence
Estimate, as the document is known, is all the more significant for
reflecting the views of no fewer than 16 US spy agencies.

According to the New York Times, it says the Iraq war has triggered
more, not less, terrorism, and helped spread jihadist ideology.

It also reportedly concludes that al-Qaeda has now mutated into a
global franchise of semi-autonomous cells.

The estimate is the first US assessment of international terrorism
since the Iraq war began.

The New York Times has spoken to officials who have either read it, or
been involved in drafting it.

If what they say is true, our correspondent says, the document appears
to undermine US President George W Bush's insistence that for all the
flaws of the Iraq war, the world is now a safer place.
