Iraq, a 'terrorist Disneyland'?

May 15 - A US troop withdrawal from Iraq will leave the country as a potent launchpad for international terrorism, according to a leading al Qaeda expert.

Rohan Gunaratna told a security conference at Lloyd's of London insurance market that Iraq, like Afghanistan in the 1990's, would become a ''terrorist Disneyland'' where al Qaeda could build up its strength unchallenged.
