Did Germans
Train Iraqis?
Bonn (JTA) — Iraqi
soldiers and police re-
portedly were trained in
Germany in recent years,
according to parliamentary
reports.
But the government, re-
sponding to questions from
Parliament, declined to give
precise details and denied
that members of an elite
German anti-terrorist unit,
GSG9, were working in Iraq
as Bonn's emissaries.
In fact, some members of
GSG9, including its founder,
Ulrich Wegener, were train-
ed in Israel in the 1970s and
have maintained good work-
ing contacts with the Israeli
army ever since.
The government has been
constantly barraged by
questions about its former
involvement with Baghdad,
and the reports have not
stopped with Monday's visit
to the Iraqi capital by former
Chancellor Willy Brandt.
Responding to questions
about military involvement
in Iraq, the government said
simply that "nine Iraqi
police officers have been
trained in various tech-
niques to combat crime."
But the government did
confirm that a former chief
of West German
counterintelligence, Klaus
Kinkel, had offered the Iraqi
interior minister six guns as
a gift, which were supposed-
ly intended for the Iraqi
minister's private collection.
Almost daily, new details
emerge here about the deep
involvement of both Ger-
manys in helping Iraqi
militarily. But the govern-
ment has largely succeeded
in avoiding making this an
important issue in the pre-
sent election campaign.
The government simply
responds that it has no
knowledge of alleged illegal
provisions of chemical
weapons or other military
material to Iraq.
It was reported last week
that the German chemical
industry made available
millions of dollars to pay for
baby food and medicine that
Mr. Brandt took to Baghdad.
There are about 400 Ger-
mans being held as hostages
now in Iraq, among them a
number of technicians and
executives who worked in
facilities designed for the
production of poison gas.
German firms have played
a prominent role in enabling
Iraq to produce chemical
weapons and are still believ-
ed to be major suppliers of
material for the chemical
weapons industry.
