| Saddam Hussein Marks 68th Birthday in Jail |
|
Advertisements [?]
BAGHDAD, 29 April 2005 — Ousted dictator Saddam Hussein marked his 68th birthday in a US-run jail yesterday unlikely to be showered with gifts — only the knowledge that Iraq has turned the page on his brutal regime with its first freely-elected government in half a century.
His Iraqi lawyer Khalil Dulaimi said Saddam — awaiting trial on charges of crimes against humanity — was enjoying “good health and high morale.” But an Iraq Special Tribunal spokesman laughed when asked if Saddam would receive anything special for his birthday, and declined to say if would be allowed to watch television or call his family. It is the dictator’s second birthday behind bars at a US base near Baghdad airport since his capture in December 2003 near his hometown of Tikrit.  &category=World |
