The document is an Iraqi Intelligence Service (IIS) review of Iraqi efforts to establish ties with the Saudi opposition in the years following the 1991 Gulf war. Guess who that was?
Saddam is/was an Baathist, most Iraquis viewed the Baath party as terrorists given their small minority status and their predeliction toward extremely violent suppression of any parties or sects that they viewed as potential threats.
The fact they killed other “Islamists” is moot.
As to your comment of unproven banned weapons;
Heres a brief list of sources to contradict your comments;
later maybe you can list yours.

[21] At present, both the United States and the former Soviet Union have committed to destroying their remaining chemical weapons stockpiles (amounting to a combined total of approximately 65 thousand tons), but the issue of thickened agents remains, chiefly because of the technical matter involved in chemical demilitarization. In the case of Russian thickened V-gas stockpiles, a special chemical is needed to fully dissolve the polymer, ensuring that all remaining V-agent is neutralized.

[24] There are two categories of dust carriers: clay- and talc-based materials. Clays include kaolinite and attapulgite (Fuller’s earth), while silicas include talc, diatomite, and pumice. Dusts used as insecticides are generally smaller than 50 microns in diameter, with most of the particles between 3 and 30 microns. Kenneth A.
