From the ap:
Italian secret services warned the United States months before it invaded Iraq that a dossier about a purported Saddam Hussein effort to buy uranium in Africa was fake, a lawmaker said Thursday after a briefing by the nation’s intelligence chief.
In a photo op with Pres. Bush on Monday, Silvio Berlusconi, the Italian PM (in Italian) denied that Italy had ever given this dossier to the US, or talked to the US about it. A translation:
“Bush himself confirmed to me that the USA did not have any information from Italian agencies.”
