BERLIN, Feb. 27 (Xinhuanet) -- The German government denied on Monday that its intelligence agency supplied Iraq's defense plan to the United States before the U.S.-led invasion.

    A report from the New York Times alleged on Monday that according to a classified U.S. military study, two German BND secret service agents in Iraq obtained a copy of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's plans for defending Baghdad and then passed it to U.S. commanders about a month before the March 2003 invasion.

    The information included military deployments, the location of Iraqi special forces and top-level Iraqi strategy sessions, the Times said.

    But German government spokesman Ulrich Wilhelm dismissed the report, saying it was "wrong."

    "The Federal Intelligence Service, and therefore also the government, had until now no knowledge of such a plan," Wilhelm told a news conference.

    The allegations contradicted a German report released last Thursday by the government saying the two agents only identified civilian sites to prevent them from being attacked by mistake.

    Germany's opposition Liberal Free Democrat party has called on the government to clarify the new allegations. Enditem
