Foreign Ministry spokesman says Saddam Husayn's did not visit Iran

Text of report by Iranian TV on 22 July

Our country's Foreign Ministry spokesman has said that the son of the president of Iraq had not visited Iran in any capacity. Mr [Hamid Reza] Asefi rejected certain rumours that had been circulating about the visit to Iran by Saddam Husayn's son, Qusay, saying: The reports are baseless.

The Foreign Ministry spokesman has also referred to the visit of David Reddaway, who was recently nominated as the British ambassador to Iran, saying: Reddaway's visit to Iran was personal and as far as the Iranian government was concerned, there should not have been any restrictions on that visit.
