| Iraq Scud boss poisoned |
| 2003-03-01 |
| Source is The Sun (UK). Grain of salt time... SADDAM Hussein’s top missile expert has been murdered to stop him blabbing to the UN. General Muhammad Sa’id al Darraj died on Thursday after Saddam’s men poisoned his drink. Relatives say he was ordered to hide details of Iraqi Scuds from the UN — but devious Saddam did not trust him. General al-Darraj was murdered hours before Saddam agreed to the destruction. The engineer had been called to a meeting at one of Saddam’s palaces for talks about how to mislead UN scientists over Iraq’s Scud programme. Moments before he died, he managed to tell his family Saddam’s officials had spiked his drink with poison. It sounds very... ummm... Borgia. |
