Abstract :
It is important now to have a full understanding of the type, nature and breadth of the
Iraqi regime’s security organizations given that if Turkey were to serve as a base for an US plan
to overthrow Saddam’s regime, the Iraqi agencies’ activities in its neighbor to the north will most
likely be activated. The purpose of the following paper is two-fold: 1) to examine the activities
of these agencies in Turkey in the past 2) to examine the structure of these agencies and how
they would respond to possible Turkish involvement in a US regime-change operation.
