The CIA bankrolled the INC in the SAS hotel in Vienna, Austria, in 1992. The tab was $15 million and the idea was to combine all the anti-Saddam groups under one organization. Ahmed Chalabi, former Jordanian-based Shiite Iraqi and ex-banker, was picked to run the INC. Now wanted in Jordan on fraud charges, he sensibly lives in London (See "Kurdistan.") The INC is a bit of a defunct organization to be honest. It's an umbrella organization with no one under the umbrella. The Kurds, for example, are not part of the INC.
