Britain's spies are being pressured by ministers to link Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda.
 
Both MI6 and military intelligence sources say claims of strong connections between Iraq and al-Qaeda are "far-fetched".
 
But No10 wants concrete evidence to justify war on Iraq.
 
An intelligence source said: "The politicians are clutching at straws. There is intense pressure to come up with a smoking gun.
 
"But Iraq is secular and bin Laden is an Islamic fundamentalist. They're not natural allies."
 
Last week Tony Blair said there are firm links between Saddam and al-Qaeda - but he could not be sure of their extent.
 
The Government refused to produce evidence, but hinted it will release details in the future.
