| Sammy's Personal Train to Run Again |
| 2008-08-20 |
Iraqi railway officials say Saddam Hussein's personal luxury train will return to service next month. Officials say the 23-car train will ferry passengers from Baghdad to Basra.
The late Iraqi dictator used the French-built train only once, in the late 1970s. Since then it has been kept in a secret place in Baghdad and was protected from looting following the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.
