First Interview with Saddam Hussein in 12 years
The Egyptian opposition weekly Al-Usbou' published yesterday an interview with Saddam Hussein. According to Al-Usbou', which has a very strong pan-Arab orientation, this was the first interview given by Saddam to any media outlet in the last 12 years.(1) In a lengthy preface to the interview, Sayyid Nassar, the Al-Usbou' journalist who conducted the interview, noted: "not everything a journalist hears is reported, he reports what is allowed and what does not harm the national Arab security. Therefore, I ask the readers forgiveness for not reporting part of the interview."
