#1 The complex is so well designed that Yugoslav construction firms were reportedly hired by deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein to build a duplicate bunker near his hometown of Tikrit in the 1980's.

I keep hearing about these fabled Iraqi underground bunkers, especially on late-night conspiracy radio, but when Saddam was found it turned out he was in a septic tank.

#3 Maybe Iraqi authorities should poke around the Baghdad sewer system, see if they find anything interesting. Thirty years of Saddam's rule is a long enough time to construct something even remotely resembling an underground tunnel system.

#4 This is very interesting, and most likely under the majority of former Eastern Bloc capitols similar interconnected civil defence complexes exist.
