More WH Lies Exposed: Saddam was held by Kurdish forces, drugged and left for US troops

Sat Dec 20,11:00 PM ET

LONDON, (AFP) - Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) 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 (news - web sites),
"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."
