Report: Saddam wearing explosive belt
2003-07-30
The ousted Iraqi president, Saddam Hussein, is wearing an explosive belt and plans to activate it when he feels US forces are closing on him, the London-based Arabic language newspaper, AlHayat reported on Wednesday. Quoting "various Iraqi sources", the daily said Saddam has been wearing the belt, since the killing last week of his two sons, Uday and Qusay.
"See, we had to shoot him before he set off the bomb belt. That’s why we couldn’t take him prisoner, we wouldn’t want any innocent Iraqi citizens hurt by pieces of flying Saddam."
