Additionally, tapes with Saddam speaking on them also surfaced and certain sinister remarks Saddam made on the tapes were translated which showed that he threatened to use WMD on Washington, DC. In the article , "<b>Saddam Translator: ABC Reinterpreted Tapes</b>" dated Feb. 17th 2006, the FBI translator who supplied the 12 hours of Saddam Hussein audiotapes excerpted by ABC's "Nightline" says the network discarded his translations and went with a less threatening version of the Iraqi dictator's comments. In the "Nightline" version of the 1996 recording, Saddam predicts that Washington, D.C., would be hit by terrorists. But he adds that Iraq would have nothing to do with the attack. Tierney says, however, that what Saddam actually said was much more sinister. <b>"He was discussing his intent to use chemical weapons against the United States and use proxies so it could not be traced back to Iraq,</b>" he told Hannity. In a passage not used by "Nightline," Tierney says Saddam declares: "Terrorism is coming. ... In the future there will be terrorism with weapons of mass destruction. What if we consider this technique, with smuggling?" <ref> http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2006/2/17/125334.shtml </ref>

Concerning additional tapes uncovered where Saddam is being briefed by his Son-in-law, Lieutenant General Hussein, ABC News reports his words to Saddam Hussein: "Sir, I would not be speaking so openly if it were not for your excellency's and Mr. Tariq's clarification and statement that we produced biological weapons. <b>We did not reveal all that we have. Secondly, they don't know about our work in the domain of missiles.</b> With regard to the issue of the chemical, sir, ... <b>In the chemical, sir, they have a problem far bigger than the biological</b>, bigger than the biological. Not the type of the weapons, not the volume of the materials we imported, not the volume of the production we told them about, not the volume of use. None of this was correct. <b>They don't know any of this</b>. We did not reveal the volume of the chemical weapons that we had produced. We did not reveal the type of the chemical weapons. We did not reveal the truth about the volume of the imported materials. In the nuclear, sir, in the biological, we also disagree with them. <b>As for the nuclear, we say we have disclosed everything but no.</b> We have undeclared problems in nuclear as well, and I believe that they know. <b>There are teams working with no one knowing about some of them.</b> I go back to the question of whether we should reveal everything or continue to be silent... I would say it is in our interest not to reveal. Not just out of fear of disclosing the technology we achieved, or <i>to hide it for future work</i>... <ref> http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/Investigation/story?id=1623307&page=1 </ref>
Another of the documents show that Saddam ordered suicide attacks on the US, which then, within a year, could have become nuclear. In the article "<b>Saddam Ordered Suicide Attacks on U.S. Targets</b>" dated April 6th 2006, it states, "A newly translated document from Saddam Hussein's intelligence files indicates that <b>the Iraqi dictator ordered suicide attacks against U.S. targets six months before the 9/11 attacks.</b>" <ref>http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2006/4/6/230437.shtml?s=lh </ref>
