Ostensibly banned since Saddam's ouster, the Baath Party has rebuilt itself by sending top members of the former regime to safe houses in Jordan and Syria, Iraqi government officials said. | | | Kadhim said there is no doubt that Baathists remain active in Iraq, numbering in "the thousands." The Iraqi government is struggling to track their activities, he said, because of the U.S.-led dismantling of the old intelligence apparatus and the fact that former Baathists are much better trained and organized than the Allawi government's fledgling agents. | | | The result was the return to Iraq of a handful of prominent exiled Iraqi members, who created a shadowy, neo-Baathist organization called "Al Islah," Arabic for "The Reform." The group held a conference in London in early spring, according to news accounts of the private meeting and sources familiar with the participants. |
