 Saddam Hussein underwent an operation to repair a hernia about ten days ago and has made a full recovery, it emerged last night. The ousted dictator was taken to the Ibn Sina hospital near the US-controlled Green Zone in Baghdad for the procedure, which was performed by Iraqi doctors, according to sources close to the Human Rights Ministry. The operation lasted about an hour and Saddam was returned to his cell the same day. There was no comment from US officials last night.| "Which part of 'no comment' don't you understand? Now scram!" |
