>>Saddam's wife, daughters safe in Syria London, March 27 Saddam Hussein's first wife Sajida, mother of Uday and Qusay reportedly left for Damascus along with his daugthers Raghad, Rana and Hala, a few days before the bombing of Baghdad. She is staying with the Iraqi Ambassador to Syria Mohammad Rafat Al Ani, claims the Daily Mail. The paper attributes its information to Saddam's former minister of protocol Haitham Rashid Wihaib, who now lives in London. It adds the women left with three lorry loads of possessions and 60 bodyguards. According to the report, Saddam Hussain has made extensive arrangements to "flee Iraq". He has sold off property to rich Iraqis and valuables in various countries to "raise millions in cash for his own exile". The transactions have been made in dollars and deposited outside Iraq. The Daily Mail claims several senior ministers including Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz have also sent their families to Syria. Saddam Hussain and the ministers plan to join their families when Baghdad falls. The information adds that an aeroplane is on a 24- hour standby to fly out the Iraqi leader. The report claims that the families could flee undetected because they had shifted close to the border much before hostilities started. Wihaib has been quoted as saying, "He(Saddam) knows it is only a matter of time before he is defeated... and he has made sure for a very comfortable exile". He predicts that the war will be over within the next two weeks. But Wihaib stressed that Saddam will never be captured alive. He has ordered his guards to shoot him if he fails to get away.<< news.sify.com
