December 1997: Ahmed Chalabi Tells Scott Ritter He Has Close Ties to Iranian Intelligence

UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter meets with Ahmed Chalabi of the Iraqi National Congress. According to Ritter, Chalabi tells him that he has close contacts with Iranian Intelligence and offers to set up a meeting between Ritter and the head of Iranian intelligence.
