In the "memoir" of `Allawi (former Iraqi puppet prime minister/embezzler-in-Yemen/car bomber/former Saddam's henchman) published in Ash-Sharq Al-Awsat, which like all Saudi media, support `Allawi, the mystery remains. We are still not told why `Allawi who allegedly broke with Saddam in 1971 did NOT resign from the party until 1975. In those years, he was in charge of Saddam's intelligence network in Europe, when the regime (along with its tool Abu Nidal at the time) customarily assassinated opponents of the regime.
