That doesn't say anything about Russia arming Saddam's troops. I'm sure there are a lot of cases U.S. arming their "allies" and then these weapons in some way became available to terrorists...
I simply don't think it is possible to know and predict how and by whom weapons will be used.

Proof, please? Soviet-designed doesn't mean Russian. Soviet designs are in manufacturing all over the world, including countries much closer to Iraq.

That could be done via 3rd party like Ukraine without direct involvement or even awareness of Russian government.
