Saddam was held by Kurdish
forces, drugged and left for US
troops

LONDON, : Saddam Hussein was captured by US troops only after he had been taken
prisoner by Kurdish forces, drugged and abandoned ready for American soldiers to
recover him, a British Sunday newspaper said.

Saddam came into the hands of the Kurdish Patriotic Front after being betrayed to the
group by a member of the al-Jabour tribe, whose daughter had been raped by Saddam's
son Uday, leading to a blood feud, reported the Sunday Express, which quoted an
unnamed senior British military intelligence officer.

The newspaper said the full
story of events leading up to the
ousted Iraqi president's capture
on December 13 near his
hometown of Tikrit in northern
Iraq, "exposes the version
peddled by American spin
doctors as incomplete".

A former Iraqi intelligence
officer, whom the Express did
not name, told the paper that
Saddam was held prisoner by a
leader of the Kurdish Patriotic
Front, which fought alongside
US forces during the Iraq war,
until he negotiated a deal.

The deal apparently involved the group gaining political advantage in the region.

An unnamed Western intelligence source in the Middle East told the Express: "Saddam
was not captured as a result of any American or British intelligence. We knew that
someone would eventually take their revenge, it was just a matter of time."

Does James Baker have any credibility? Isn't he a key member of the Carlye Group that uses the access and intel of former high administration officials to peddle influence for Saudi Arabia? See for example,
