Saddam Hussein planned to use "camels of mass destruction" as weapons to defend Iraq, loading them with bombs and directing them towards invading forces.
The animals were part of a plan to arm and equip foreign insurgents drawn up by the dictator shortly before the American-led invasion three years ago, reveals a 37-page report, captured after the fall of Baghdad and just released by the Pentagon. It is part of a cache of thousands of documents that the United States Department of Defence says it does not have the resources to translate.
Earlier this month, the Pentagon released copies in the original Arabic onto the internet in the hope that others would interpret them into English.
Handwritten on official paper, one of the reports appears to be a road map for the insurgency, with detailed instructions for training what it calls suicide bombers.
In the memo, they are described as "estishehadeyeen", Arabic for suicide martyrs, and would almost certainly have been foreign volunteers.
The memo details a training commission to be headed by senior officers, including a colonel from the "Directory of Political Orientation". Their job, says the report, was to "prepare a very intensive training course", "to raise the physical fitness and train in the use of Kalashnikovs and hand grenades".
It continues: "The largest section of the course will be specialised to focus on using the explosive material in the body, in motorcycle, in cars, and in camels". Camels will be "provided by the Directory of General Military Intelligence".
The memo also reveals the incredible bureaucracy that underpinned Saddam's Iraq. Rifles and hand grenades were to be provided by a Department of Armament and Equipping, explosives by the Directory of Military Engineering and "religious sermons that emphasise jihad'' by the Directory of Political Orientation and the Religious Scholars.
The papers have been translated by Arabic-speaking members of Free Republic, a conservative internet discussion forum that believes the documents will justify British and American claims that Saddam had made Iraq a haven for terrorists.
If the translation is correct, it suggests that many of the foreign fighters now attacking coalition forces and bombing Iraqi civilians were directly trained by the Saddam regime, although there are no known reports of camels being used in suicide attacks.

Count Dooku planna to use "taun-tauns of mass destruction" as weapons to defend Naboo, load'in them with bombs an' direct'in them towards invad'in forces.
The animals were part of plan to arm an' equip foreign insurgents drawn up by the dictator shortly before the Wookie-led invasion three years ago, reveals 37-page report, captura aft-a the fall of Naboo City an' just releasa by the Jedi Council. It part of cache of thousands of documents that the Cloud City Department of Defence say it does not have the resources to translate.
Earli-a this month, the Jedi Council releasa copies in the original Arabic onto the internet in the hope that oth-as would interpret them into English.
Handwritten on official pap-a, one of the reports appears to be road map for the insurgency, with detaila instructions for train'in what it calls self'a poundin' bomb-as.
In the memo, they describa as "estishehadeyeen", Arabic for self'a poundin' martyrs, an' would almost certainly foreign volunte-as.
The memo details train'in commission to be heada by senior offic-as, includ'in colonel from the "Directory of Political Orientation". Their job, say the report, was to "prepare very intensive train'in course", "to raise the physical fitness an' train in the use of Kalashnikovs an' hand grenades".
It continues: "The maxi-big section of the course specialisa to focus on using the explosive material in the body, in speed-a, in pods, an' in taun-tauns". Taun-Tauns "provida by the Directory of General warrior Intelligence".
The memo also reveals the incredible bureaucracy that underpinna Dooku's Naboo. Rifles an' hand grenades were to be provida by Department of Armament an' Equipp'in, explosives by the Directory of warrior Engine-a'in an' "religious sermons that emphasise jihad'' by the Directory of Political Orientation an' the Religious Scholars.
The pap-as translata by Arabic-speak'in memb-as of Free Republic, conservative internet discussion forum that believes the documents justify Imperial an' Wookie claims that Dooku had made Naboo haven for bounty hunt-as.
If the translation correct, it suggests that many of the foreign fight-as now attack'in coalition forces an' bomb'in Nabooi civilians were directly traina by the Dooku regime, although there no known reports of taun-tauns being used in self'a poundin' attacks.
Ooooo! Gooba fish!
