The '''Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda timeline''' below lists allegations of meetings between [[al-Qaeda]] members and members of [[Saddam Hussein]]'s government, as well as other information relevant to the theory that [[Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda|Saddam conspired with al-Qaeda]]. It is important to note that not all of the specific claims about meetings can be substantiated with evidence, and that many of the intelligence agencies and experts who have analyzed the evidence have concluded that no substantial links exist. What took place at those meetings is unclear. As terrorism analyst Evan Kohlman points out, "While there have been a number of promising intelligence leads hinting at possible meetings between al-Qaeda members and elements of the former [[Baghdad]] regime, nothing has been yet shown demonstrating that these potential contacts were historically any more significant than the same level of communication maintained between [[Osama bin Laden]] and ruling elements in a number of Iraq's [[Persian Gulf]] neighbors, including [[Saudi Arabia]], [[Iran]], [[Yemen]], [[Qatar]], and [[Kuwait]]."<ref>http://www.commondreams.org/headlines03/0803-04.htm</ref>
