Iraq’s UN ambassador
Mohammed Al-Douri, the first Saddam regime official to concede his country’s defeat (“The game is
over”), aroused some sympathy when he burst into tears in New York and vowed to devote his life to a
peaceful future for his people. He announced he would be going to Paris.

Well, DEBKAfile’s intelligence sources have discovered that the weeping ambassador stayed in Paris
only long enough to catch the next plane to Damascus, where he joined his not exactly peace-loving
brother, who turns out to be the deposed vice president Izzat Ibrahim Al-Douri.


FWIW...I saw the interview with him as he was getting into a limo heading for the airport. He said clearly that he was heading to find his family and check on their wellbeing since he had no contact with them in the last while. I clearly got the impression that he was saying he was going wherevever necessary. This Debka account does not quite seem to reconcile with what I saw and heard.
