Saddam 'seen' five days ago

Iraqi leader says former dictator is moving in ever smaller circles

Saddam Hussein was reportedly seen in the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk five days ago and is moving in increasingly smaller circles in order to evade capture, Jalal Talabani, a leading member of Iraq's governing council, said yesterday.

Mr Talabani, who also heads the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, one of two main groups controlling the Kurdish north of the country, told the Guardian that he had received unconfirmed reports that the ousted Iraqi dictator had sheltered last weekend among a Sunni Arab community on the outskirts of Kirkuk.

He said: "Saddam has good relations with those Arabs whom he brought to Kirkuk to ethnically cleanse the city of Kurds and Turkomens."

Saddam had been moving between the Hawija area and the Kirkuk plain, sheltering among Sunni Arab tribespeople and Ba'ath loyalists who had gone to ground there after the collapse of the regime.

by the Kurds to get the US to ethnically cleanse Kirkuk of Sunni Arabs. Hell, why not? It worked for the KLA.

5. How many doubles did Saddam employ?

Help an old woman with poor memory out here.... I would think there would be more sightings of Saddam than of that alien always getting his photo taken with US politicians on that tabloid at the grocery checkout!
