The life of an imprisoned ex-dictator is normally devoid of happiness. But a ray of sunshine recently illuminated Saddam Hussein’s jail cell, when he learned that Spain had caved in to terrorism.
Saddam last met his defence counsel in December and conveyed his greetings to all “free people” of the world “and especially to France and Germany,” which were staunch opponents of the war that toppled him, Khassawneh said.
Saddam voiced his joy during the four and a half hour meeting when he was told Spain’s new government had left the US-led military coalition in Iraq.
“He was very happy to know that Spanish forces had left Iraq,” Khassawneh said.
