Russia told Iraq about US moves Russia told Iraq about US moves

Washington - The United States takes "very seriously" reports that Russia gave Saddam Hussein intelligence after the 2003 invasion of Iraq and will take it up with Moscow, secretary of state Condoleezza Rice said on Sunday.

"We would take very seriously any suggetion that was done, maybe to the detriment of American forces," Rice said on NBC television's Meet the Press programme.

"Definitely we will raise it with the Russian government."

An official report released on Friday said Russia gave Saddam intelligence from inside the US military command on US troop movements after the invasion that led to his ouster three years ago.
