Did Saddam Hussein send assassins to the US to kill former President Bush?

Dear Mbridb, 

Porbably yes, but there is no conclusive answer to your question. The
US government claimed, in 1993, that Iraq had tried to assassinate
George Bush (as well as the Emir of Kuwait) during a visit of the
former in Kuwait. However, since this is based on intelligence
reports, on interrogations that might have been violent, and other
means that are not transparent, it is not certain.

A very good summary of the different opinions on the subject could be
found at the History News Network <http://hnn.us/>

How Do We Know that Iraq Tried to Assassinate President George H.W. Bush?
<http://hnn.us/articles/1000.html> - the official information from the
Department of State report, claiming that there had been an
assasination attempt.

A similar report on the story: 
David Von Drehle and R. Jeffrey Smith, "U.S. Strikes Iraq for Plot to
Kill Bush", Washington Post, Sunday, June 27, 1993; Page A01,

<http://www.newyorker.com/archive/content/?020930fr_archive02> -
journalist Seymour Hersh finds huge holes in the official version.

A U.S. Airforce historian claims that Hersh's article " was published 
almost immediately in the aftermath of the attempt on Mr. Bush's life. It 
is, in short, years out of date and fails to account for evidence 
subsequently developed." (SOURCE: Eduard Mark, "Interesting post on
H-Diplo", History News Network quoting H-Diplo,

I hope that answers your question. Please contact me if you need any
